One of Puronics’ most popular products is its IQ Series water softener.  This system turns hard water (water with a high mineral content) into soft water, which provides many benefits to a household.

Skin and Hair

• Hard water can make skin and hair dry and dull.
• The minerals in hard water bind with beauty products, like expensive cleansers and shampoos, making them less effective. 
• By bathing in soft water, you can make your hair and skin softer and silkier and save money on beauty products.

Cleaning

• A study by The Ohio State University showed that soft water can cut cleaning time by up to 50 percent. This is because the minerals in hard water bind with soap to create scum, and they also make household cleaners less effective.

Laundry

• A study by Purdue University showed that soft water can extend the life of clothing by 15 percent and can keep colors brighter.

Cooking

• To make great food, you need great ingredients—and that includes water! A Puronics softener and under-the-sink purifier will yield water that will make meals more appealing because it helps veggies retain their vibrant colors.

The Environment

• Millions of unnecessary glass and plastic bottles are manufactured each year for bottled water, and additional energy is used to ship them around the country. By installing a water softener and under-the-counter water purification system, homeowners can have great tasting water directly from their tap. That helps the environment, and is less expensive for consumers in the long run.
• A study by The Ohio State University showed that soft water creates less soap scum and fewer streaks, meaning that mild, natural cleaning products can easily make a home sparkle. In fact, synthetic, petroleum-based cleaners were created largely to deal with the effects of hard water.  
• Since soft water isn’t full of minerals that bind to soaps (and decrease their efficacy), less shampoo, detergent and other soaps and cleansers are necessary. That means less soap going down the drain and out into the environment AND a significant savings on these products.
• Soft water can also save on energy costs—especially when it comes to water heaters.

Remodeling

• When remodeling, many people pay top-dollar for high-end appliances and fixtures. What many don’t realize is that hard water can degrade the appearance and functionality of those expensive items quickly. In fact, many manufacturers of dishwashers and other appliances will specify water types in their warranties.
