Do You Need a Water Softener?

When you consider the benefits, wanting soft water is a no brainer.

Soft Water Benefits

• Lower Energy Costs

• More Efficient Cleaning

• Less Soap Scum & Scale


U.S. Water Hardness


Staying clean is so much easier with soft water. Your hair and skin are softer, cleaning requires less soap and leaves less scum behind. Your home will notice too. With less scale your appliances work more efficiently, especially water heaters, they require less maintenance, and the plumbing lasts longer.

So there is no question you want soft water. The question is, what's the best way to make hard water soft?

With the chemical-free technology we use at TahoeWaterFiltersyou can include better health to the benefits of softer water. To achieve that our water is electronically conditioned (without invasive chemicals).




Electronic Conditioning Yields

• Improved Hydration

• Higher Mineral Absorption


While we can't make you drink more, when you taste how naturally delicious water cleaned and conditioned by TahoeWaterFilters is, you probably will drink more.

Eco-Friendly Softening

At TahoeWaterFilters, we offer a cleaner, greener, salt-free way to soften water. No costly chemicals to add, no salty waste water to deal with. Just plug it in and electronic conditioning breaks the bond between calcium (or magnesium) ions and water molecules. Instead the calcium carbonate ions bond to each other, forming aragonite particles that remain suspended in the water, instead of sticking to heated surfaces and growing into hardened calcite. The electronically conditioned water will now begin to dissolve existing scale. The result is reduced scale, lower energy costs, and less soap needed or left behind.


Enhanced Mineral Consumption

Another benefit of this salt-free method is that the calcium (and magnesium) remain suspended in the water, available to be consummed. Hard water may create problems for plumbing and cleaning, but those same minerals are essential for better health and their deficiency is associated with a host of diseases. Chemical water softeners replace essential calcium with unhealthy sodium and the discharged brine contaminates fresh water sources.
(Benefits of magnesium / calcium).

Better Hydration

This energizing of the water also lowers the surface tension, making it a super solvent. In this state the minerals are more easily absorbed by the cells of your body, as is the water itself. This increases hydration, a simple but essential ingredient for health. Dehydration is a factor in almost all disease, and always makes pain worse.

Lower Cost

Finally, there are the costs to consider. With reduced scale, heating water will be more efficient, reducing energy costs. Chemical water softeners require a steady diet of salt, and they contaminate the water supply with that salt. Our solution costs hundreds less to buy, a pittance of electric power to operate and has no waste.

Other Effects

Chemical water softeners also make the water more alkaline. Slight alkalinity is better for our health, except it can also cause lead to leach out of solder joints with copper plumbing or brass fixtures (pre 1992). Lead poisoning has been linked to kidney and nervous system disorders as well as impeding mental and physical development in children. With TWF's electronically conditioned water, the precipitated calcium carbonate forms aragonite which inhibits corrosion and the leaching of lead into drinking water.
