Water Softening

Using hard water is one of the major concerns of homeowners since it can lead to several adverse effects. This may include leaving soap scum across bathrooms and kitchens, making it difficult to wash laundry or dishes, damaging kitchen appliances, and leaving your skin and hair dry.


A water softener is an appliance that reduces or removes minerals from water that makes it hard, making it usable for cleaning, cooking, and bathing. Investing in a water softener system can prevent your expensive appliances from becoming damaged and save you lots of money, energy, and time.

Common Signs You Need A Water Softener

Many people ask the question: “how do we know we have hard water coming into our homes?” Several different indicate that your home is supplied with hard water, including the following:

Stiff Clothes

Your clothes may appear stiff after laundering. Even if you use a fabric softener, your clothes may retain this hardener and may become quite uncomfortable to wear. Some of your darker clothes may also show white streaks on them, which is evidence of salt and minerals in the water.

Damage To Appliances

Residents may also see a crusty white buildup around their pipes and faucets and in their sinks, which is hard to scrub off. In addition, hard water can also leave traces of mineral deposits in washing machines, dishwashers, and other home appliances, which can damage their functions over time.

Soap Not Lathering

If you fill a glass with hard water and put some soap in it, the water will turn cloudy. On the other hand, a glass of soft water and soap will appear clear and have a layer of suds on the top. Hard water prevents soap from lathering. Since there is a high amount of minerals in the water, it does not react well with soap and prevents the formation of suds required for cleaning.

Itchy & Dry Skin

If you take a bath or shower with hard water, it can make your hair and skin dry and itchy. This is because hard water leaves minerals in your skin that can lead to allergies. On the other hand, soft water keeps your skin moist and smooth.

Salty Taste

Hard water is high in magnesium and calcium content, which is why it may have a slightly salty or bitter taste. On the other hand, soft water has a sweeter taste.

If you notice any of these signs, you may be using hard water. No matter what the issue is, Better Water can help you install the right water softeners at your place.

Types of Water Softeners

At Better Water, we offer different ways of water softening that can remove minerals from your water supply.

Salt-Based Water Softener: This is the most effective water softening method. This water softener system contains two tanks: one consists of resin beads that capture calcium, magnesium, and other minerals in the water, while the other tank consists of a brine solution that removes abrasive substances from the water.


Salt-Free Water Softener: Salt-free water softeners do not use sodium; instead they use potassium chloride to remove the hardness from the water. This is an excellent option for homeowners who want the least maintenance for their water softening systems and do not want to worry about checking salt levels and refilling the tank. These systems are compact and, hence, do not require a lot of storage space.


Reverse Osmosis: Reverse osmosis system forces water through a semipermeable membrane that prevents hard water as well as other contaminants from flowing out with the water. This is an excellent and more comprehensive water filtration choice.


The best type of water filtration system depends on the needs of your household. At Better Water, we offer ion-based water softeners, salt-free softeners, and reverse osmosis filters to remove hard minerals from your water supply and provide you with improved washing, cleaning, and drinking experiences.

Benefits Of Using A Water Softening System

There are several communities across Nassau and Suffolk counties that receive moderately hard water. A water softener offers several benefits to these communities, including:

  • Low amount of mineral buildup in appliances and plumbing systems: This ensures that your washing machines, dishwashers, pipes, faucets, and other appliances and fixtures can last for a long time.

  • Better water pressure: Since the water is soft and does not have too many minerals, its flow is strong, making for a more enjoyable washing experience.

  • Streak-free dishes: Soft water does not leave white streaks of minerals or watermarks on clean dishes.

  • Softer hair and skin: Your hair and skin remain moisturized; hence, your skin does not become itchy, and your hair does not experience breakage.
