Why is water important for me?

Water does some amazing things for the human body. Some of those include lubricating moving surfaces such as your joints, heart and intestines; diluting pollution and contaminants in your body;

Why is it important to have soft water?

Bottom line…Soft Water will save you money and create a healthier lifestyle for you and your family. You will use less soap and fewer cleaning products –

What is Hard Water?

Hard water is the most common problem found in the average home. Hard water is water that contains dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Hard water contains dissolved hardness

What does a Water Softener do exactly?

Water softeners use an ion-exchange process which takes mineral and metal ions out of the water and replaces them with sodium or potassium ions

I thought the minerals in water were good for me?

Water should never be interpreted as a source of nutrition for the human body. Don’t get me wrong, water does do amazing things for the body, but it doesn’t

If I have city water, isn’t it treated and safe?

City waters operate within the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) guidelines. They do a great job making sure our water is microbiologically safe.

Water does some amazing things for the human body. Some of those include lubricating moving surfaces such as your joints, heart and intestines; diluting pollution and contaminants in your body; helping your body metabolize fat; cushioning your brain and spinal cord; moistening the surface of your lungs to help you breathe; aiding in digestion, absorption, metabolism, secretion and excretion; helping conduct sound through your inner ear; maintaining skin flexibility. This is why it is so important for our bodies to ingest in clean filtered water.

Bottom line…Soft Water will save you money and create a healthier lifestyle for you and your family. You will use less soap and fewer cleaning products – whether it’s dish detergent, shampoo, or laundry soap, you’ll use less of it. Your plumbing, water heater, and appliances will last longer. Water heating bills can be reduced as much as 30 percent. Your clothes will last longer, feel softer, and remain brighter. Rings and stains won’t darken your bathroom fixtures. Glasses and dishes won’t streak. Scrubbing floors and tile will clean easier and faster. Your skin will feel softer and smoother and your bath or shower will leave you feeling refreshed and truly clean.

Hard water is the most common problem found in the average home. Hard water is water that contains dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Hard water contains dissolved hardness minerals above 1 grain per gallon (GPG).

How does hard water affect me?
Hard water has been the cause of many problems in the household. Some of these problems are: bathtub rings, hard water spots, clogged pipes, shortened life span of appliances, and possible skin issues.

Water should never be interpreted as a source of nutrition for the human body. Don’t get me wrong, water does do amazing things for the body, but it doesn’t aid as a supplement for nutrition. Minerals in water are typically inorganic minerals. The human body has a harder time processing these types of minerals over Organic minerals. On the other hand, fruit trees, vegetable plants, and herbs welcome Inorganic minerals as a source of nutrition. These plant life then process the Inorganic mineral into something edible and of nutritional value for the human body.

City waters operate within the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) guidelines. They do a great job making sure our water is microbiologically safe. But chlorine, hardness minerals, heavy metals and other contaminants still lurk in the water as it travels from the treatment plant to your home. These contaminants should be removed to create a healthier quality of water for bathing, showering, drinking, and cleaning.

Hard water leaves an insoluble soap-curd film on you, causing your hair and skin to “squeak”. Most of us grew up with hard water, so “squeaky clean” was all we knew and what we grew to expect from our bathing and shampooing. No wonder we all believed that we were our cleanest when our skin and hair squeaked. Soft water leaves your skin and hair “hydrated and clean”, not squeaky. Since water is wet and there is not scummy film on your skin to cause friction, the water feels “slippery”. That slippery feeling is the indication of healthy, clean skin and hair.

Reverse Osmosis, a water treatment method traditionally known for removing salt from seawater, is also used to purify drinking water by forcing untreated water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane or filter. The membrane blocks contaminants and the impurities are subsequently expelled from the environment. The result is pure, clean drinking water

What kind of contaminates does Reverse Osmosis (RO) remove?
It is important to educate yourself carefully when choosing an RO system. There are many reverse osmosis systems on the market. They vary in size, quality, quality of water produced, volume of water produced, and the percentage of contaminants removed. All RO’s should be installed on microbiologically safe water for best performance. Intermountain’s RO’s will significantly reduce levels of Arsenic III, Barium, Lead, Chromium III and VI, Fluoride, Total Dissolved Solids, Cysts, Nitrates and Nitrites, Selenium, Radium, Lead, Copper, Etc.

What does Pur-gard™ do?
Pur-gard™ leaves a protective coating on metallic moving parts, cleans and lubricates all moving components, creates an unhealthy environment for bacteria in the system, and cleans ion-exchange resins without damaging the structured matrix.

What if I don’t put Pur-gard™ in my system?
Pur-gard™ helps the softener run at optimal performance. If you do not use Pur-gard™, your water softener may not run at its optimal best and its life expectancy maybe shortened. Just like brushing your teeth every day, this advanced technology maintains a good baseline of protection between detailed cleaning visits.

Can all water softeners use Pur-gard™?
Yes, all water softeners will use Pur-gard™. There are many cleaners on the market, but Pur-Gard was formulated and designed to not only clean, but minimize bacterial contamination between maintenance visits (see ‘What does Pur-Gard™ do?’). If your water softener does not have a Pur-Gard™ reservoir please visit our store and ask one of our friendly water consultants for a free reservoir.

Simple Solutions to Complex Water Problems – Since 1966
For nearly 50 years, Intermountain Soft Water has been producing and selling products that are engineered and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Water in the Intermountain West is 3 – 5 times harder than the national average. This can pose serious problems for water systems that are mass-produced for the lowest national averages. When designing a residential water system, Intermountain takes into consideration many variables that can negatively affect efficiency, performance and reliability. These include high water hardness, high water pressure, low water temperature, chlorine and chloramines, heavy metals, heterotrophic plate counts (known as HPC’s), etc. When purchasing a water system from Intermountain Soft Water you can be rest assured it will not only be of the highest quality, but it will be well affordable.

You may not realize this, but hard water leaves an insoluble soap-curd film on you, which can cause your hair and skin to squeak. Since most of us in Utah grew up with hard water, “squeaky clean” was all we were used to and grew to expect from our bathing and shampooing. It’s no wonder that we all believed that we were at our cleanest when our skin and hair squeaked! The difference is, however, is that soft water leaves your skin and hair hydrated and clean, not squeaky.
