Generally, yes, though ion exchange increases sodium in the water.
Benefit from a Professionally Installed Water Softener
Compared to many locations across the country, Eastern Idaho has great water. However, water here is concentrated with calcium and magnesium. These conditions cause what is known as “hard water,” and can lead to mineral buildup, dry skin and hair, hard-to-clean soap scum, and other negatives.
Allow us to help. We offer installation of industry-leading soft water systems to provide the benefits of soft water for your home. Our services also include water softener repair and maintenance.
Problems Caused by Hard Water
Hard water leads to multiple problems, including mineral buildup that can compromise water pipes, shorten the life of household appliances, and reduce water heater efficiency. Also, the minerals in hard water can leave behind residue, stiffen laundry, and dull the color of clothing. Hard water can also dry skin and hair.
Reasons for a Water Softener
Water softeners are appliances that remove calcium and magnesium from hard water and add sodium or potassium, softening the water. This process is known as ion exchange. A water softener can make a big difference throughout a home by:
- Reducing buildup in water pipes
- Extending the lifespan of appliances, leading to significant financial savings
- Supporting more efficient water heater performance
- Making cleaning easier
- Getting laundry and dishes cleaner
- Promoting softer skin and hair

Water Softener Q and A
Is it safe to drink softened water?
What does hard water buildup look like?
Hard water buildup is most commonly seen as a white, "scaly" buildup around appliances and surfaces. This buildup is crusty, with a rough texture.
Can a water softener help my appliances last longer?
Absolutely. Tankless water heaters have experienced complete failures due to hard water buildup after only 1.5 years.
What effect can soft water have in my home?
A simple addition of a water softener can save thousands on appliances, repairs, new clothes, and more. Soft water can improve the functionality and longevity of washing machines, dishwashers, showers, and pipes. Soft water can also reduce skin and hair dryness.

A quality water softener can typically last 10-20 years, depending on the volume and frequency of water usage.
