Key Takeaway: If the goal is to lower measured hardness (gpg), choose softening; if the goal is to make scale less stubborn on surfaces, conditioning can help. Ion-exchange systems remove calcium and magnesium from the water, while “salt-free” approaches influence how minerals crystallize and adhere. When taste or odor from municipal disinfectants is also on your list, pairing the primary …
Key Takeaway: Hard water is common in many areas, and reducing measured hardness at the source is the most reliable way to limit new scale. Salt-based ion-exchange softeners address calcium and magnesium directly; whole-home carbon filtration can be paired to improve taste and odor from chlorine or chloramine. A brief water test provides the numbers (gpg) needed to size a …
