Water Filtration vs. Water Softeners

The Difference Between Water Filtration and Water Softening 

If you’re looking to improve the quality of water in your Connecticut home, there’s a chance you’ve heard of either a water filtration system, water softener, or both. While these groundbreaking plumbing problem-solvers appear to do the same thing, they actually serve different purposes.

Here’s what you need to know about each water treatment solution before making a choice.

The Benefits of a Water Filtration System

A water filtration system is ideal for any home — whether you opt-in for a drinking-water filtration system or a whole-home filtration system. The water filtration system aims to help provide clean, safe water for you to consume and use. Water filtration systems will help remove a series of invisible contaminants from your H2O supply — such as:

  • Pesticides
  • Hormones
  • Chlorine
  • Arsenic
  • Lead, and more

The Benefits of a Water Softener

In the robust composition of hard water lies excess calcium and magnesium. Unfortunately, in Connecticut, hard water is a common problem for many homeowners; it can take a toll on not only your water-based appliances but you and your clothing, too. Luckily, water softeners are here to help; they remove the calcium and magnesium from your water supply and improve it.

As a result of having a water softening system in place, you’ll reap benefits such as:

  • Extending the lifespan of your water-based appliances
  • Have softer hair, skin, and nails
  • Prolong the longevity of your clothing
  • Have fewer calcium deposits on plumbing fixtures
  • Notice little-to-no water spots on dinnerware and more

I contacted WaterDR for a mitigation system for a high Radon reading after a home inspection. I spoke directly with one of the technician’s “Joe “ he was absolutely polite and informative. We needed him to come the following day! I have to say they were on time and very professional. After fully explaining everything they immediately began to work.

Dennis and team were on time, eager to share their knowledge and full details of every aspect of the project and completed the work in a timely manner. Pricing was very fair, I will be using them for all my needs and recommending them as well.

Josh and the other technicians at Water Doctor are real experts and extremely knowledgeable. Even better, for the one obscure piece of equipment I had they had little experience with, they admitted they would have to check with someone else in the company before rending an opinion. These guys are honest, smart, ethical and have fair pricing. They won’t sell

The guys from Water Dr. couldn’t have been any better to deal with over the years. We sold our house and they did our least service/tune up. Years of great service on our well. Fairly priced. Just nice guys to do business with. If my new house had a well they would be my guys.
