  • Page 5: How Your Water Conditioner Works

    HOW YOUR WATER CONDITIONER WORKS Why Water Gets Hard And How It Is Softened All of the fresh water in the world originally falls as rain, snow, or sleet. Surface water is drawn upward by the sun, forming clouds. Then, nearly pure and soft as it starts to fall, it begins to collect impurities as it passes through smog and dust-laden atmosphere.
