WATER SOFTENER SERVICES IN MARYLAND AND DELAWARE

WHY USE A WATER SOFTENER?

Hard water is rough on your body and tough on all of your washable fabrics. With hard water, you spend too much money on laundry detergents and softening agents, constantly battling dry skin and dull, lifeless hair. A water softener removes minerals like calcium and magnesium that create hard water before it enters your water heater or home. When hardness minerals combine with heat, scale forms and clogs plumbing pipes, water heaters, and other appliances. When combined with soap, calcium and magnesium form scum that accumulates on plumbing and fixtures and makes your skin dry and itchy, your hair lifeless, and your laundry dull.
