Introduction
IT'S ALL SO EASY, SO ECONOMICAL, SO EFFICIENT, SO ENJOYABLE!
KIND TO SKIN AND COMPLEXION
Soft water will help prevent red, itchy or dry skin because there are no hardness impurities to cause
soreness, no soap curd to coat the skin. Shaving is easier, smoother - either with blade or electric shaver.
BATHING AND SHOWERING
You'll use far less soap with conditioned water. Use your soap very sparingly - not as you did before soft
water. Just a quick rinse removes all lather, leaving your skin pleasantly smooth and silky - because now it's
free of sticky soap curd and film.
SAVES WASHING COSTS. HELPS CONTROL ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Soft water washes whiter and cleaner with less soap or detergent. Because the hardness impurities are
removed, your soap can concentrate solely on washing. People usually find that they can reduce the
amount of soap they use substantially. If you normally used a cup per wash load with hard water, try using
only 1/3 cup depending on the size of your wash load and the degree of soil. Different amounts are
required, but you can use less with softened water. An added bonus is the fact that your washable fabrics
will last longer.
SUPER HAIR CONDITIONING
Soft water is great for scalp and hair care. No insoluble deposits are formed. Hair is shinier, softer, more
manageable. Reduce the amount of shampoo you have normally used.
DISHES ARE A DELIGHT
Washed by hand or in a dishwasher, glassware, dishes and silver wash cleaner, easier. Follow your dish-
washer manufacturer's instructions. Soft water promotes sanitation because no greasy hard water film can
form to collect or harbor bacteria.
EASIER HOUSEKEEPING, GLEAMING FIXTURES
You'll be amazed at the marvelous difference. Just a swish of the cloth, and the bathtub or shower and
fixtures are clean and sparkling. Imagine, no scouring! No hard water scum to cause rings, streaks, spots
and stains. To keep their gleaming luster, simply wipe fixtures with a towel after use. Formica, tile, walls,
floors, woodwork surfaces clean easier, stay clean longer. You'll save on cleaning aids and save on time.
SAVES WATER-HEATING ENERGY, HELPS WATER-USING APPLIANCES
Soft water reduces the formation of rock-like hard water scale which encrusts water heaters, hot water
pipes, shower heads, and water-using appliances. This scale can cause premature maintenance and failure.
Elimination of hard water also provides substantial energy savings because scale acts as an insulator,
wasting electricity or gas used to heat water.
