Water Softener
Saskatoon's water is hard, it has 11GPG of hardness
This means that there are high levels of calcium and magnesium in our water. This hard water causes problems with your fixtures. It leads to scale in showers, tubs, toilets and water heaters. A water softener separates the hard minerals from your water and treats them with salt.
Is Soft Water Healthy?
It is a common myth that this salt increases sodium in your diet. It's takes a small amount to achieve soft water. In Saskatoon at 11GPG this is equal to about 20 milligrams of sodium to each 8 oz. glass of water you drink. To put this in perspective, a tablespoon of ketchup has 204 mg. of sodium and a slice of whole wheat bread has 211.
What are the Benefits?
Soft water is much more gentle on skin, hair, clothes, and plumbing!
Types of Softeners
There are 2 types of water softeners commonly used. A standard efficiency or a high efficiency softener. The high efficiency means hauling less bags of salt and saving $$$ on salt and water. High efficiency softener's use up to 75% less salt and 64% less water compared to some models!
