Whole House Nitrate Reducing Water Softener
Utilizing a salt-based water softener can provide a solution for the damaging mineral buildup present in your home's water. By exchanging mineral ions for sodium, particularly calcium and magnesium, a water softener reduces the risk of plumbing damage and unsightly stains, resulting in a more polished appearance for your home. The accumulation of calcium and magnesium crystals in your appliances and heating coils, increases electricity usage and decrease in performance and early breakdown of your equipment. Furthermore, by unclogging pores and allowing for improved absorption of creams, softened water promotes healthier skin and hair.
Contrary to popular belief, a salt-based water softener does not increase the sodium content of your drinking water to hazardous levels. The water softener simply removes the calcium and magnesium particles that make water hard, leaving sodium levels unchanged. Therefore, your water remains safe for consumption after installation of a water softener.
In reality, the amount of sodium added to your water by a softener of this type is negligible, typically only 12.5mg per 8oz glass. In comparison, Americans face a much greater risk of consuming excessive sodium through their diet, particularly in restaurant food.
At Horns & Hooves, we recommend salt-based softeners due to their high effectiveness. Sodium salt, readily available in large bags at most grocery stores and home improvement retailers, plays a vital role in removing mineral buildup from your water, ensuring a cleaner and healthier home.
