Water softeners · Calgary and area
Hard water leaves mineral deposits on everything it touches. When hard water is heated beyond 60C (140F) the minerals leave the water more rapidly, which is why kettles, dishwashers, washing machines, hot water tanks and tankless units suffer the most when hard water is present.
A water softener isn’t mandatory. There are plenty of homes in Calgary that don’t have one. However, if you’re planning to live in your house for the foreseeable future it’s a great thing to have protecting your plumbing fixtures. Once installed, a softener will have a noticeable effect on your toilet bowls, shower enclosures and even how your shampoo feels when showering!
