Conditioned Water

After adding up all the savings that a water conditioner can generate, many consumers conclude they can't afford to be without conditioned water in their homes.

Conditioned water can make a real difference where it counts most-- in your monthly household expenses. Consider how conditioned water could start saving you money today:

Lower energy costs: According to the Water Quality Research Council at New Mexico State University, water heaters work nearly 30% more efficiently when operated on conditioned water.

Fewer repair bills: Without exception, all water-using appliances work more efficiently and require fewer repairs with conditioned water. Even leading appliance manufacturers, such as Maytag, recommend using conditioned water for optimum performance of their products. Plumbing lasts longer, too, without the lime scale buildup caused by hard water.

Spend less money for cleaners and detergents: Since soaps and detergents work more efficiently in conditioned water, you'll need less than the recommended amount. And you'll be able to obtain the same optimum results using shorter wash cycles and cooler water.

Smaller clothing allowance: Clothes last longer and look better when washed with conditioned water. According to a study conducted at Purdue University, the life of clothing and household textiles was prolonged up to 15% when washed in conditioned water. When detergents mix with hard water, they form lime curd deposits, which can cause yellowing, or graying of clothes. As the deposits accumulate, they contribute to fabric stiffening and matting.

Fewer lotions and conditioners: Hard water can dry skin and hair because the minerals combine with the soap to form a sticky residue that's difficult to rinse away. With conditioned water this film doesn't form, so hair and skin are smoother and healthier looking.
