If your business is using hard water in its plumbing system, you should consider switching to a water softener system. Soft water provides several benefits and can ultimately save your company money in the long run. Butler Water Systems—providing clean water services to residential and commercial clients in the Cincinnati tri-state area since 1973—shares the advantages of having soft water.

What is hard and soft water, and why is soft water better? Hard water contains large amounts of magnesium and calcium. When it passes through a water softener system, these minerals are removed, resulting in soft water that is more compatible with soap and extends the life of your plumbing. So how can soft water benefit your business?

• It’s easier to clean. Soft water works better with soap. You’ll need less soap and use less water to rinse away any soapy residue. You also won’t need to use harsh cleaning chemicals, saving money on detergent and other cleaning products.
• Your plumbing will last longer. Hard water leaves calcium and magnesium deposits in your pipes, which leads to buildup. Costly repairs and replacements by a plumber will be needed to correct the problem. Soft water minimizes the buildup, helping your plumbing system to last longer.
• Appliances work better. Anything that uses water—your hot water heater, the refrigerator in the break room, and even your coffee maker—all use water. Just like your pipes, hard water can leave mineral buildup in your appliances, making them work less efficiently. An added bonus: soft water heats up quicker than hard water, so less energy is being used.
