Many homeowners do not notice the absence of the benefits of water softeners until they go from using one to not using one. If you have recently moved into a new home and used a water softener in your old home, you have definitely missed the luxuries that a water softener provides you. If you have never used a water softener or reverse osmosis system, studying these benefits may convince you to invest in one. What, exactly, is reverse osmosis system, though? Well, it is a form of water softener installed by commercial plumbing professionals that purifies water by physically removing the ions, molecules, and larger contaminants of water that lead to hard water. Here are the benefits you will experience after installing a reverse osmosis system.

Your family will finally be willing to drink out of the tap. Save money on constantly buying plastic bottled water by choosing commercial plumbing that will be filtering the very stream that comes out of your faucet. By eliminating the hard minerals that ordinarily are found in tap water, you are giving it the fresh, pure taste of bottled water. Stock up on portable, reusable water bottles and you’ll never have to lug home another pack of plastic bottled water again.
Your silverware will sparkle. Actually, your whole home will likely have a newfound shine; softened water from a commercial reverse osmosis water system is proven to lead to shinier and cleaner dinnerware, glass, mirrors, and any porcelain flooring that you use the water to clean on. This is because the softened water does not leave those noticeable chalky white mineral deposits on your things when it dries, as opposed to hard water.

You won’t be able to keep your hands off of your skin. In fact, your skin and hair both will feel cleaner and silky smooth. Softened water is less of an irritant to skin cells and hair follicles, and also reacts better with our shower products than hardened water. You may find that you are not using your shampoo and soap as quickly, as it is much easier to get a smaller amount to lather with softened water. This means that softened water is safer for people with sensitive skin, pets, and babies.

You will love your favorite fabrics even more thanks to this commercial plumbing. When you wash your clothes and linens in hard water, the hard minerals get trapped in the fibers of the fabrics. This has adverse effects on your laundry’s softness, color vibrancy, and durability. Your whites will stay whiter, too, when they are washed in more purified water. As with showering, laundry that is washed with softened water does not need nearly as much detergent or fabric softeners. Your water softener and filtration system will also prolong the life of your washer.

In fact, your whole house water softener benefits will include prolonged life of any appliance that has a water line, from your washer, to your coffee maker, to your water heater, to your dishwasher. Softened water is healthy for the piping in these appliances and the piping throughout your whole home because it does not contain the substances that erode and create mineral deposits in pipes over time. If you really want to maximize the potential of the new residential water softener systems in your house, consider replacing one or all of these appliances, especially if the home has never had a reverse osmosis system before.

Water softener systems require education and investment to determine what size and type of system is best for you, but the benefits you will soon experience will make you never want to turn your back on crisp, purified, softened water.
