Iron Filters and Water Softeners: A Powerful Duo for Home Water Treatment
The Combined Strength of Iron Filters and Water Softeners in Your Home Water System
Iron and Hard Water: A Dual Threat
Iron and hard water are two prevalent problems in many households. Excessive iron in water can lead to stains on appliances, fixtures, and laundry, along with a nasty metallic taste. On the other hand, hard water, caused by high concentrations of minerals like calcium and magnesium, leads to scale buildup and inefficiency in water-using appliances. Both of these pose problems to your household that lead to damaged appliances and costly repairs for your plumbing. Conveniently, we have the perfect solution for your home.
What do Iron Filters do?
Iron filters effectively remove both ferric (visible) and ferrous (dissolved, invisible) iron from water. These filters oxidize iron into a form that can be easily trapped and filtered out, ensuring clean, clear, and stain-free water for your home.
What do Water Softeners do?
Water softeners address hard water issues by using ion-exchange resins to remove minerals causing hardness. This results in water that is softer on your skin, more efficient for cleaning, and better for the longevity of your appliances.
Why Combine Iron Filters with Water Softeners
Combining iron filters with water softeners provides comprehensive water treatment. The iron filter removes iron, preventing stains and buildup, while the water softener tackles hard water minerals. This dual approach ensures clean, soft, and iron-free water throughout your home.
Enhancing Water Quality and Appliance Longevity
The synergistic effect of using both systems extends the life of your plumbing and appliances. It prevents the buildup of scale and iron deposits, thus saving you money on maintenance and energy costs over time. Replacing water using appliances in your home and dealing with infrastructural damage caused by plumbing problems like leaky pipes are a massive headache that can be avoided entirely with the implementation of these systems.
Our Recommended Water Softener
When it comes to water softeners, the Fleck 2510SXT 48,000 Grain Deluxe Water Softener model is a standout choice.
