Understanding Water Softeners and Filtration Systems

What Do Water Softeners Do?

Water softeners specifically target hard water by removing calcium and magnesium, the minerals responsible for:

• Spotty Dishes and Soap Scum: Excess minerals leave visible residues on glassware and shower doors.
• Clogged Pipes and Appliance Wear: Mineral deposits reduce the lifespan and efficiency of your water heater and plumbing.
• Dry Skin and Hair: Hard water can cause irritation and dryness after bathing.

Benefits of a Culligan Water Softener:

What Do Water Filtration Systems Do?

Filtration systems remove a broader range of contaminants to improve water taste and quality. These systems address:

• Heavy Metals: Reduces harmful substances like lead, arsenic, and copper.
