Welcome to a review of the best water softener. Hard water destroys water lines, pipes, and plumbing fixtures of all kinds. Glassware and flatware never come completely clean. It is responsible for an untold number of bad-hair days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This review will help you find the best water softener for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Water Softener<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is incredible diversity in the water softener<\/a> market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At one end of the spectrum, we have the traditional methods that involve using sodium chloride (table salt).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other end, we have high-tech solutions, some of which don\u2019t even require chemicals or maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some units do more than just soften water. It would be a simple matter to rank the best salt-based water softeners and ignore all the others. However, that would do an injustice to the other options that are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For that reason, this review examines a cross-section of the water softener market, showing a little bit of everything. Some of the units are so different from each other that it would be impossible to come up with a way to judge which is better than the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For that reason, please take the star ratings with a grain of salt as they are just estimates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How We Chose Our Ratings For The Best Water Softener<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because so many of these solutions don\u2019t lend themselves to a side-by-side comparison, we had to depend on the manufacturer’s descriptions, specifications, and customer reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with that information, it is difficult to tell which units are best overall. As a potential customer, we leave this up to you. You know your situation better than anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, say you are under a doctor\u2019s orders to reduce sodium intake. If you wish to continue drinking tap water, you should probably avoid water softeners that use sodium chloride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you choose a water softener<\/a> that uses sodium chloride, you should probably switch to bottled water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you will see, there are no perfect solutions to the problems of hard water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
