Hard Water Solutions
Do you have HARD Water? If so, Clear Water Filtration will install the water softening system you need and provide helpful tips to make sure you get the maximum benefit from your water softening system.
Soap Reactions
Soaps can react with the minerals in the water causing "soap-scum" or white build-up which can make it difficult to keep things like hands, laundry or dishes clean. You may notice this by seeing white residue on clear cups, or your shower door.
Pipes
Additionally, your pipes can gradually become built up with calcium resulting in lower water pressure. As the hard water flows through your pipes, the calcium deposits can stick to the walls causing them to narrow down.
Hard Water Solutions
Luckily, it is never too late to install a softening system. These systems will remove the hardness from the water and prevent soap scum and calcium buildup. Check out our softeners or give us a call for more information today!

Yes. Many areas in Vermont have naturally hard water due to high mineral content in the bedrock.
-
On-demand systems regenerate based on usage. Non-electric models like Kinetico do this automatically without programming, and they supply constantly softened water through their twin tank configuration.
-
Routine care includes refilling salt or potassium, checking for salt bridges, and inspecting performance.
