What Can You Expect?
What you can expect from an EasyWater in your home is going to vary depending on your water hardness and whether or not you currently have a salt type water softener.
Don't have a softener
First 1 -2 weeks
- Soap will lather easier.
- Spots on dishes will be reduced or eliminated depending on your water hardness.
- Detergent and soap amounts can be reduced 25% or more depending on water hardness levels.
First 90 days
- Scale deposits will begin to loosen and breakdown from your pipes, water heater and other water appliances.
- Clothes will feel softer out of the laundry.
- Mold and mildew will begin to disappear.
Long Term Benefits
- No salt to buy or maintenance EVER!
- Inside your pipes and water appliances will be de-scaled and remain scale-free protecting your home from future damage.
- Your water heater will last significantly longer due to the lack of scale deposits. The elimination of scale will also reduce your energy bills over time.
- Your washing machine, dishwasher, ice maker, reverse osmosis system and other water appliances in your home will last significantly longer.
- Your clothes will last longer by reducing the damaging effects of hard water.
Have a softener
Immediate differences
- Shower water will not leave a soapy film feel.
- You will likely have more spots on your glasses and dishware in your dishwasher with EasyWater. For fewer spots we recommend using the cleaning product included with your EasyWater system.
- Evaporative spotting will occur anywhere water evaporates leaving minerals behind. You will need to wipe down shower doors and faucets to eliminate any water spotting.
- Soap will continue to lather efficiently, although in some cases the lather will be better with a salt type water softener.
Long term benefits
- No salt to buy or maintenance EVER!
- Sinks, toilets and showers will be easier to wipe clean. Water spots left with a salt type water softener are less visible, but harder to remove.
- Salt softened water can be corrosive to copper pipes and some appliances.
- The inside of your pipes will be de-scaled and remain scale-free protecting your home from future damage. A salt type water softener can slow the development of scale, but the EasyWater is guaranteed to prevent new scale from forming and will remove existing scale build up.
- Your water heater will last significantly longer by preventing scale deposits.
The difference between scale buildup and evaporative mineral buildup.
Scale Buildup
Scale buildup is a hard mineral deposit that forms inside piping, water heaters, showerheads, icemakers, faucet aerators and other water using equipment. Scale is also often referred to as limescale or calcium buildup. Scale forms when minerals come out of solution and stick even where water is flowing. The EasyWater eliminates scale anywhere that water flows.
Evaporative Mineral Buildup
Evaporative mineral buildup or spotting looks very similar to scale buildup and is made up of the same minerals, but forms differently. Evaporative mineral can form on the outside of faucet aerators, shower doors and counter tops when water splashes and is allowed to dry or evaporate leaving the minerals behind. Over time this evaporative mineral will start to cause a build up if it is not frequently wiped off. Evaporative mineral buildup can still occur with the EasyWater, but the build-up will wipe away more easily.
