The addition of softeners reduce the negative impact of hard water, such as scale buildup in pipes and appliances, water spots on dishes, excessive soap use, and reduced energy efficiency. Using ion exchange technology, hardness-causing minerals are switched out with sodium ions, eliminating irritating hard water problems. Water softeners can also remove iron and certain metals (e.g., lead, radium). Filters remove particulates and organics, but will not remove hardness. So, if you are deciding between a water softener or water filter and your problem is hard water, heavy metals or iron you need a water softener! Water Filters Filters remove undesirable particles from your water, such as sediment or iron. Essentially, water passes through a filter, which catches these harmful particles. So, if you’re choosing between a water softener or a water filter and your problem relates to particulate matter, a water filter may be the best option. Often water filters are paired with water softeners or other water treatment applications to ensure that particulate matter does not foul the ion exchange resin. The Hague WaterMax® is one of few such systems with an integrated filter eliminating an extra piece of maintenance-requiring equipment necessary for other manufacturers’ systems to work properly. The WaterMax® functions to both filter your water and soften it, so you’ll have everything you need in one piece of equipment. Plus, it’s easy to use and tracks your water consumption to help ensure you always have enough clean water when you need it. Get more details at 888-741-1711 or local 303-728-4899!

Here are some tips to help you get serious about water while keeping your hydration habits fresh at the same time: Pour the water into an attractive glass or easy-to-use water bottle. Add ice or chill your water. Drink moderate-size portions spread over the course of a day, rather than trying to drink it all at one time. Make drinking water a habit – drinking water at the same time each day will make it much easier to remember. Make water more available – carry a BPA-free bottle with you at work or when you’re going to be away from home for long periods of time. And make sure your drinking water is of the best quality and purity you can get.  We can’t help you drink the water, but Rocky Mountain Water Conditioning can make sure you get best quality water!  Call us at 888-741-1711 or local 303-728-4899.  Better Water For Better Living!

Hard water contains a large amount of dissolved minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. This is what causes dry skin, brittle hair, spots on your dishes, makes your laundry dull and promotes soap scum and scale buildup. Not only that, hard water clogs your pipes – not good for your plumbing system! Hardness also makes your water heater work harder, costing you more money to heat your water and reducing the life of your water heater (as well as your dishwasher and washing machine.) Many people decide to use water softening equipment to eliminate these issues. Soft water doesn’t contain these minerals, so the spotting, the scum and scale, the damage to pipes, the excessive use of (to name just a few): soaps/shampoo/conditioner/lotion/detergents/drink mixes, as well as dry itchy skin and brittle hair become problems of the past!

Will a water softener make much of a difference for you? Absolutely! You’ll actually be able to see the difference! Not only will you need to use less soap (laundry detergent, dish soap, shampoos, etc.), but you will see a remarkable difference in the amount suds and the clarity of the water softened water provides. Even a minimal level of hardness can have a significant impact on increased soap consumption (and other things that have to dissolve in your water.) If you are dealing with hard water in your home, it might be causing you many other problems—some obvious, others not so much.

You certainly can! Soft water actually makes humidifier cleaning easier. When hard water evaporates, a hard scale forms that normally requires some drastic removal techniques. But when soft water is used, the residue is commonly called “soft” and can usually be easily removed. Learn more about humidifier cleaning, and then call Rocky Mountain Water Conditioning! Cleaning a Humidifier 101 As we said, humidifier cleaning is much easier when you have soft water. Hard water contains a lot of hardness-causing minerals which can coat your pipes, leave spots on your dishes, and make cleaning a humidifier difficult! Remember, softening water does not reduce the total amount of minerals present; ion exchange softening switches the calcium and magnesium hardness-causing minerals with sodium minerals. The most common humidifier in homes has an open pan, a small tube connected to a water source, and a float valve. When water evaporates, the float valve opens to permit more water to flow into the pan. Eventually this type of unit fills with minerals deposited by the water. Using soft water will keep the mineral buildup down and the humidifier functioning properly. All you need to do when cleaning buildup off of a humidifier using soft water is flush the unit and then go over it with a soft brush. If you’d like to disinfect the unit, check your manual for instructions. It’s important to follow the directions provided for humidifier maintenance as you will probably be using bleach and you don’t want to harm the unit or make anyone sick. How to Make Humidifier Cleaning Easier Soft water makes humidifier cleaning simple. The Hague WaterMax water treatment system can both soften your water and purify it. It’s easy to use and has an absolute brining system to ensure you never waste salt or water during regeneration.

Water Softeners & Lawn Maintenance For outside use on lawns or gardens, using softened water is wasteful. Depending on how much salt you need to use to reduce the mineral content of your water, the sodium content after softening may be great enough to retard plant growth and harm grass. This is especially true in climates where rainfall is scarce. Areas that receive regular rain are not as sensitive to sodium accumulation because the rainfall alleviates the sodium from the ground. Ask the dealer who is installing your water softener about a bypass for lawn and garden faucets as well as a faucet for untreated water. Water Softeners & Soap Having a water softener also affects how you clean. Soft water makes a small amount of soap have the same cleaning effect as a large amount, so we suggest you start by using one quarter of the product recommendation and go from there. This includes dish washing liquid, laundry detergent as well as shampoo and conditioner. You don’t want to waste soap or have to spend a long time trying to wash it away! Water Softeners & Humidifiers If you have a humidifier, using softened water makes cleaning your unit much easier! Hard water creates mineral buildup on appliances like humidifiers that can make them difficult to clean. With soft water, cleaning your humidifier is much simpler. Usually all it takes is either flushing out the unit or using a soft brush to remove any minor buildup. So you can avoid scrubbing for hours just to get rid of buildup by using a water softener – what’s not to like? Water Softeners & Your Bathroom Can’t stand that grimy buildup on your shower curtain? A water softener will help to eliminate it! Soft water doesn’t contain the hardness-causing minerals that are present in hard water, so you don’t get that irritating buildup in your shower. This makes cleaning much easier! Instead of spending hours scrubbing the tub and shower curtain, just a little cleaning power could be all it takes!

If you are trying to improve your home’s water quality, you may have heard the terms point-of-use (POU) and point-of-entry (POE). The distinction between the two is important, as they are very different products. Rocky Mountain Water Conditioning offers both POU and POE options for water treatment. We can help you decide whether a POU or POE water treatment system best meets your needs. POU Water Treatment Products Point-of-use (POU) water filtration products treat only the water intended for direct consumption, e.g., water coming straight from the tap–typically the water you drink and cook with.

Hague’s POU reverse osmosis systems come with the same 25-year manufacturer’s limited warranty as our WaterMax® line.

The Hague WaterMax® comprehensive water treatment system is a POE system. The Hague WaterMax® can be customized to address your specific water quality concerns.
