- Improves Water Quality: Softer water is better for skin, hair, and clothing.
- Reduces Soap & Detergent Usage: Soft water lathers more easily, saving money on cleaning products.
- Prevents Stains & Spots: Helps prevent hard water stains on sinks, showers, and dishes.

By installing a high-quality water softener, you can extend the life of your plumbing system and appliances while improving comfort and efficiency in your home.

Pros and Cons of Salt-Based Water Softeners
Salt-based water softeners are the most common type, and they have both advantages and considerations:
Pros:
- Highly effective at removing minerals like calcium and magnesium
- Can be used in both residential and light commercial applications
- Often more affordable upfront than alternative systems
Cons:
- Requires regular salt refills
- Can add sodium to water (though typically safe for most people)
- Needs occasional maintenance to keep the system functioning properly
Our friendly, experienced plumbers at COR Plumbing can help you choose the right water softener system for your home or business.
