What are the main difference between Water Softeners and Water Conditioners
Because water softeners and water conditioners are often confused as the same type of system even if they serve totally different functions. So, “water softeners” have been around for a long time and what they do is – they take minerals out of your water and they replace them with softer minerals like sodium or potassium and this is just a simple ion exchange process and these are considered softer minerals because they don’t build up as much in your system and they don’t eat away at your pipes as much as harder minerals do. The bright side of having a “water softener” is they keep stains from dishes, sinks, toilets and showers and having soft water is really the only way to do this and to avoid these stains on the glass like that. But, there is a downside of water softeners – they can waste a lot of water in order to keep your system fresh.

On the other hand, Water Conditioners do not softened water but they focus on removing harmful chemicals from your water supply like Chlorine. Magnets are properly placed they can affect potassium chloride which is found in most water that’s why there’s a strong magnetic piece inside conditioners called ad scaler – it rearranges the ions inside the minerals so that they don’t conglomerate, and this keeps the minerals that you don’t want in your system from clogging your faucets. The best feature with conditioners is that they pull out the harmful chemicals like chlorine which you don’t want to shower in, drink from it, or wash your vegetables with. Moreover, Water Conditioners don’t waste water because there’s no exchange process. What it does is – it re-aligns the ions inside your minerals so doesn’t have to waste water, the drawback is – they do not remove hard water, only reduces the hard water.
