Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions homeowners ask us most.

What is hard water?

Hard water contains dissolved calcium and magnesium. It is commonly measured in grains per gallon or milligrams per litre as calcium carbonate. Hardness is generally an aesthetic and operational concern rather than automatically a health concern.

How does a traditional water softener work?

Most residential softeners use ion-exchange resin to trade hardness minerals for sodium or potassium ions. The system periodically regenerates using a brine solution to restore the resin's capacity.

Do I need a water test?

Yes. Testing confirms hardness and may reveal iron, manganese, pH, total dissolved solids or other conditions that affect equipment selection. A softener is designed for hardness; it is not a universal purifier and does not remove every contaminant.

Will softened water contain sodium?

Ion exchange adds some sodium to treated water, with the amount related to incoming hardness. People on sodium-restricted diets or with specific health concerns should consult an appropriate healthcare professional and may choose a separate unsoftened drinking-water tap or other treatment approach.

Can a softener be used on well water?

Often, but well water may contain iron, manganese, sulphur, sediment or microbiological concerns that require separate assessment or treatment. Comprehensive testing is important before equipment is selected.
