Water Softeners Filters


Water softeners filters enable water softeners to pull hardness out of water, freeing a home’s water supply from calcium and magnesium salts that can prevent soap from lathering and cause scale build-up on pipes and water heaters that can lead to inefficient water heating systems.

The scale build-up that water softeners filters help prevent save homeowners money by extending the life of their plumbing and fixtures and reducing the need for supplies to clean showers, sinks and toilets. In addition, soft water is gentler on clothes, hair and skin.

Types of water softeners filters and how they work

Water enters a water softener’s tank by passing through “whole house” dirt and sediment water softeners filters that trap sediment from a well and built-up debris from piping.

One type of water softeners filters is built-in and self-cleaning. It is laser-welded to the water softener tank and has a neoprene screen that is packed with a filtering agent that further reduces dirt and sediment. The more traditional water softeners filters are removable, cartridge-type filters.
