Plumbing
The entire plumbing supply of your home represents 10-15% of the home value. Your untreated water can cause thousands in repairs over a decade or two. Hard water can create mineral deposit problems in plumbing and deteriorate all parts of the entire system while losing performance and efficiency.

1. Hot water tanks full of untreated water build scale, or mineral deposits, and thus have a much shorter lifespan and use up to 25% more energy for heating water.  A homeowner with untreated water will have less hot water in addition to a greater fuel expense, and will be repairing and or replacing sooner
2. Toilets, sinks, tubs, and faucets will have a reduced lifespan and require more attention and more cleaning to keep looking like new. One faucet can cost hundreds of dollars to replace and this is usually the lowest price item on the list.

Kitchen / Drinking and Cooking
The kitchen is one of the places you will experience on a daily basis the benefits of better water or the drudgery of untreated tap water.

1. Your dishwasher will perform much more efficiently with less detergent or need to heat dry. This saves energy and improves the look of all your glasses, dishes, and silverware. You will not need additives that reduce spots, and your dishes and utensils will not be covered with hardness and detergent residues, making not only a healthier environment for you and your family, but a greener one for the world. The dishwasher itself may even double in lifespan. If you are doing dishes by hand you will notice your hands will not be as dry and you can save time and use much less dishsoap.
2. Conditioned water heats faster, thus saving more energy while improving the flavor of the foods you cook with it. Beverages made with conditioned water are less bitter and need up to 30% less ingredients to obtain the desired taste. Even ice cubes will look and taste better.
3. Drink tap water with the confidence that you're getting superior water. It will look better, taste better and lack the impurities and chemicals that are known to exist in tap water. There is no need for bottled water or faucet or pitcher filters which can become a breeding ground for bacteria. Many people avoid drinking tap water due to taste or suspicion of contaminants. Knowing your water is free of these problems can encourage you to consume healthy water instead of other high calorie beverages, leading to improved health and reducing caloric intake. 
4. Conditioned water will save many hours per year in cleaning your kitchen alone. Conditioned water saves you three ways. All surfaces stay cleaner longer, thus needing less attention. These surfaces clean faster without or with a reduced amount of cleaning product. They clean easier with less scrubbing. Many times, what you are cleaning in the kitchen is film from your tap water. This is why so many homeowners get frustrated with cleaning results because you can only get things as clean as the water you use.

Bathrooms and Bathing
Tubs and showers rank as the least favorite cleaning jobs in the home when you don’t have conditioned water. Many people also go through a lot of expense and extended daily rituals due to their tap water. In addition, they suffer from unnecessary irritations simply from taking a bath or shower.

1. Who likes scrubbing the tub? This job can be all but eliminated with conditioned water. Hardness minerals and soap create a paste that sticks to everything. This soap scum has made cleaning product companies rich at your expense. The good news is, conditioned water works better than all of them. Your tubs and showers will require much less attention and will require only the occasional wipe rather than frequent scrubbing. When you have unconditioned water you are actually cleaning soap and residue from your water more than dirt from people. This paste requires expensive and harsh cleaners, and when you are finally done scrubbing, you try to rinse the cleaners down the drain with your dirty water, which makes great results almost impossible. Not to mention your exposure to chemicals. Keep in mind that harsh cleaners wear down the finish of your tub and can create the need for replacement. There are dozens of companies that exist today to do nothing more than put a smaller tub or shower insert over your larger one. Most of them would not exist except for your hard water.  Many of these solutions cost thousands more than getting better water and never needing their services. The saddest part is, your new tub or shower will be subjected to the same abuse from your water. This is one place where the cure is much less expensive, time consuming, and aggravating than the disease.
2. Do you suffer needlessly when you bathe? Many do and are totally unaware that the soap scum on the tub is actually stuck all over their skin and hair. This is why many of us require so much conditioner, lotions, hand creams, and a plethora of health and beauty aids. When you bathe in conditioned water your skin and hair are much softer and cleaner. Chlorinated water also leads to this discomfort. Your skin is your largest organ and the only one exposed to the elements. Unfiltered water can be your worst enemy when it comes to the healthiness and youth of your skin and hair. The soap and minerals form a paste and plug pores and leave a film head to toe. Many are subjected to needing extensive and expensive lotions especially after a shower. The biggest problem is getting the lotion through the soap scum coating. Your skin may actually be at its worst directly after bathing rather than at its best. Imagine skin and hair feeling softer, smoother and silkier from head to toe without needing so much post shower attention and expense. Many spend hundreds on make-up and creams while the cosmetics companies hope you never discover conditioned water.  Conditioned water affects shaving as well. Blades last much longer and perform better with dramatically less irritation when you have conditioned water. This is by no means a cure for specific skin conditions or ailments but untreated water can exacerbate the condition. Even dermatologists can be reluctant to tell you what they surely know because they want you back as much as possible.

Laundry
Imagine needing only one product for doing your laundry - and it lasts up to 5 times longer.

1. In addition to being expensive, laundry products perform much worse in unconditioned water. When we do our laundry in hard water we need to use substantially more and more specialized cleaners and softeners that produce a less desirable, more unnatural result. Conditioned water is by nature the best cleaner. Being impure due to hardness minerals inhibits the water's ability to clean, thus needing more detergent as opposed to milder soaps that work exceptionally well in conditioned water. This is one of the major sources of water pollution today. When washing with hard water you need more detergent but also your hard rinse water will make a large portion of the detergent and dirt stick into the clothes. These harsh chemicals and additives are a leading cause of skin irritation. Rinsing your clothes in conditioned water with less soap or detergent does a far superior job getting the dirty soapy water rinsed out. Your whites are whiter without bleach. Your colors are brighter without special boosters that are, in fact, pollutants. Your entire wash will be softer and fluffier when washed in conditioned water. You will even save up to 30% on your washables due to less abrasive detergents and hardness stuck in the clothes which break down the fibers during the tumbling action of the dryer. The end result is that you can spend less, have cleaner and longer lasting clothes with less skin irritation, making your home and our precious waterways greener.

Cleaning
You already understand how your cleaning load would be dramatically lightened and you would spend less time cleaning. But if you think things sound good so far please consider the following.

1. According to independent studies, the average household can require up to 80 hours less cleaning time per year with conditioned water.  Your home will also stay cleaner longer and you will be in a greener environment with less exposure to chemicals.   
2. Even your rugs, carpets, and floors can be cleaner. Have you ever heard the old saying that when you clean a rug it gets dirtier faster. Just as in the laundry the cleaning solution and hardness minerals create a paste that sticks to the fibers creating a dirt magnet. Your sweeper will have a harder time getting this stuck on dirt out of your rugs. This also makes the rug break down faster and require replacement sooner. Imagine having cleaner carpets that stayed cleaner longer and last longer.  The best rug cleaning companies have soft water on their trucks and will not use your hard water for cleaning. This gives superior results and customer satisfaction. It is also expensive. If you clean your rugs with conditioned water you can use less cleaner but even more important conditioned water allows much more cleaning solution and dirt to be removed from the carpet without the sticky residue left behind. This gives you a cleaner greener home with rugs that look and feel their best. For most homes without conditioned water the carpets are usually the dirtiest part of the home.

3. Water is the universal solvent. By its nature it is a superior cleaner to any cleaning product.  The problem is it has cleaned everything in its path on the way to our homes.  There is no standard for how much dissolved rock (hardness) can be in your water.  Even at a level of 34.4ppm or 2 grains per gallon will dramatically deter your water from doing what it does best. Most water in homes today is many times this level.  This is bad for you and great for the soap, detergent, and all companies that spend fortunes advertising the latest and greatest products that will be next year’s losers. You spend more, clean more, and the results are marginal compared to eradicating what keeps them so profitable and successful at your expense.  Homeowners are being snake bitten by poor water quality every day and at great expense take the only antidote they know….. More cleaners. The average family of four will spend in excess of $1,000.00 every year to clean their homes and bodies. This figure continually rises as these products show an increase of almost 80% every 10 years. By now you hopefully understand you can cut the head off of this snake that serves you poorly for much less money while giving you a much higher satisfaction level and peace of mind. Conditioned water will save up to 80% of this entire expense which is about $800.00 per year for the average family of four.  This is just one area of savings.  See savings tab for an overview of how much a homeowner can save with conditioned water.
