Choosing the right water softener for your home is not just about getting rid of hard water problems. It’s about providing a solution that fits seamlessly within your lifestyle. Whether the goal is to make your household more efficient, more environmentally friendly, or free of contaminants like lead and microplastics, there are some important key considerations for choosing the perfect water softener.
In this article, we’ll show you what to look for when choosing a water softener, like features that prioritize efficiency and water conservation, plus the advantage of adding a filtration system like reverse osmosis. At Conner Water, we don’t just offer water softeners and drinking water systems. We provide personalized solutions that transform your home’s water quality.
How to choose the right water softener for your home
Consider a high-efficiency water softener that conserves water.
When choosing a water softener, consider your household and its current water usage. If you have a family of four or larger, we recommend a water softener that prioritizes water efficiency. Look for a water softener with adjustable settings to reduce water and salt use. Even better, look for a water softener with split-tank technology or a dual-chamber tank so that you can achieve double the water softening power.
Ask us about our exclusive Water Efficient Technology, W.E.T., an optional feature on many of our high-efficiency water softeners, including both the EVR Twin Tank Softener and EVRC Softener.
Check for a water softener that uses less salt in regeneration.
Water softeners have traditionally been linked with salt pollution due to the salt used in regeneration. However, many modern water softeners use less salt in regeneration. Look for a water softener that uses precision regeneration based on your past water usage and local water hardness. This way, no extra salt is used and none is wasted.
Perfecting the regeneration process means that fewer cycles will be needed, further saving on salt. Alternatively, look for a water softener that offers customizable treatments so that you adjust your salt usage. The optional salt monitor feature can help alert you when more salt is needed so that your water softener is always efficient and environmentally conscious.
Discover water filtration systems that treat your drinking water, too.
If you’re worried about more than just hard water issues, go beyond just the basics of water softening. Discover water filtration systems that filter your drinking water, too! As you might imagine, a comprehensive water treatment system is quite the powerhouse combination. Not only does it eliminate hard water minerals but it wipes out harmful contaminants, leaving behind only clean, great-tasting water — without the mineral residue.
Adding a reverse osmosis system to your water softener is a great way to provide peace of mind with the most advanced contamination reduction. After all, it’s more than just a water treatment. The best water softener will likely include a comprehensive approach that transforms the way you experience water in your home. A drinking water system and water softener work together to maximize performance while going easy on your plumbing.
Find the right water softener with a personalized approach.
When it comes to addressing your water quality concerns, a “one-size-fits-all” approach isn’t going to solve your problem. Whether your home is connected to the municipal water supply or you have private well water, a more personalized approach will help you find the right water softener. A professional water quality test will determine which contaminants, minerals, and other impurities are present in your water supply.
