To understand how to change hard water into soft water, you need to understand what exactly “hard” water is. Hard water contains a higher amount of dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium than soft water, which contains less of these minerals. Why does this matter? Minerals like calcium and magnesium can build up in pipes, tea kettles, coffee pots, water heaters, and shower heads. In areas with very hard water, pipes can even become completely clogged over time. Calcium and magnesium can also leave mineral deposits on skin and hair and in the presence of soap, causes nasty soap scum buildup in showers and tubs. Hard water makes clothing fade and wears out faster. A water softening system contains resin beads and either salt (NaCl) or potassium (K) to exchange ions with the unwanted calcium and magnesium and take them out of your water.
