Water Softeners
Our Guide to Water Softeners
Hard water, common in many American households, contains high levels of calcium and magnesium. While not harmful to health, hard water can cause costly damage to plumbing, appliances, and fixtures. A water softener removes these minerals, protecting your home and improving water quality.
Contact Integrity Plumbing Solutions for expert advice on the best water solutions and to keep your water softener running smoothly.
