IN A STUDY ON THE BENEFITS OF REMOVAL OF WATER HARDNESS (CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM IONS) FROM A WATER SUPPLY
Our company is pleased that the Water Quality Association has invested in this study. By accelerating the effects of hard water (over time); and contrasting ‘the negative hard water effects’ with the tremendous financial and aesthetic benefits of soft water – this study confirms these words are true: Boyett Family Soft Water Service is a great investment.

Here are some facts I found on a document from our archives (I have been fortunate to work in the softwater industry all my life ‘I am now 56 years old’). We continually find historical documents and artifacts that we are proud to share with you (this document is an example).
The cost of Hard Water
Did you know that investing in a water softener for your home can save you money? Did you know that adding a softener to your home is a green decision? We are aware that any major appliance purchase is a big step, so we would like to leave you with this fact sheet to help you as you consider your decision.
A 5-year study by New Mexico State University found that homes with soft water saved 21% to 29% on the cost of heating water. A water heater with as little as a 1/8” scale added 20% to heating costs.
A study by Purdue University found that clothes last 15% longer when washed in soft water. The colors remain brighter, and the fabric feels softer.
According to a study by Ohio State University, hard water adds 6 hours per month to cleaning in the average household. Many times hard water spots and streaks require special cleaning products to remove.
A Life Cycle Assessment highlighted in the February 2007 issue of Water Conditioning And Purification Magazine showed a homeowner installing a water softener had the same effect on the environment as removing 1.5 cars from that city’s highway.
Detergent and soap use can be cut by as much as 50% when using soft water reducing the discharge of harmful phosphates into the environment.
High-efficiency appliances such as tankless water heaters, front-load laundry machines, and many dishwashers need soft water to achieve peak performance.
So please consider letting one of our plumbers come and install a water softener in your home and start enjoying the savings, benefits, and feeling of soft water today.
