PIPE SCALING
Hard water deposits a rock-like scale in pipes causing corrosion,
leaks, restricted water flow and reduced water pressure.

WATER
HEATER
Heated water forms rock-like scale faster. Scale builds up on
heat element reducing efficiency and shortening appliance life.
According to a 1980 study by New Mexico State University, soft
water can save 22% in water heater energy costs.

skin and contributing to hair problems. Soft water is recommended
for keeping hair and skin healthy.

CLOTHES
Hard water dulls colors, makes towels and clothes feel stiff
and scratchy and requires use of harsh soaps and chemicals thus
reducing fabric life. Washer manufacturers recommend soft water
to lower maintenance costs and increase appliance life.
