As we speak, hardness minerals (such as calcium and magnesium) are slowly building up in your home on everything your water touches. This includes things like your water heater, your dishwasher, your faucets, and even your skin.
It doesn’t matter if your water is from a well, or the city supply, most homes in the US have hard water. Few people know, but you can only remove hard minerals from your water through ion exchange, which is what a water softener does.

Water Softeners
Water filters are built to remove other contaminants, but not hardness minerals.
North Brothers Plumbing offers an exceptional line of water softeners to fit your home, water quality & budget. It softens all the water coming into your home before it has a chance to enter your appliances.
Here’s what you can expect from a whole home water softener:
- Removes hardness minerals and sediment that make your skin dry and prematurely age your expensive appliances
- Removes chlorine taste and odor by filtering your water with a built-in coconut-shell carbon filter
- Eliminates spots on silverware, glasses and dishes
- Prevents scale build-up on pipes, faucets and water-using appliances
- Customizable to meet additional water treatment needs you may have
How do you know if you have hard water?
Here are some telltale signs:
- Your skin is dry and itchy and your hair is dull
- Your drinking glasses & stemware come out of the dishwasher with spots
- Your faucets and fixtures have a crust that’s hard to remove
- Your water heater takes forever to heat up, or you’ve prematurely had to replace or repair it
- Your whites are more like 50 shades of gray and your brights have lost their luster
What are the Benefits of Soft Water?
Softer Skin & Hair
Hard water minerals bond with skin and hair leaving a nasty film. Kind of like that limescale on your faucet! A water softener removes hardness minerals naturally so you can stop spending money on lotions & skin care products as your body becomes free of buildup!
Extend Appliance Life
Dishwashers, washing machines, water heaters (tankless, electric, & gas), ice makers, boiler systems, & humidifiers all suffer when your water contains hardness minerals. Their useful life may be greatly reduced because they are not designed to endure hard water.
It Can Pay for Itself
You can save up to 75% on cleaning products, as they are more effective and less are needed. You can also save up to 40% on energy costs related to your water-using appliances, and they last longer. It’s harder to estimate the amount of savings you get when you no longer have to waste time scrubbing that scale off your shower doors, faucets, fixtures, dishes, & glassware.
