TheAPEX WS-1020 Metered Water Softener – 24,000 Grain water softeners provides endless benefits to your home or business. When tap water contains a high level (>7 grains per gallon) of calcium and magnesium minerals it is called hard water. Hard water can cause many problems in the home or business. Hard water leaves ugly white spots and streaks on silverware, glasses, pots and other cookware. Hard water also reduces the effectiveness of dishwashing detergents, making dishes harder to clean by hand and in the dishwasher. Soaps react with hard water, forming curd or soap scum on shower and tub surfaces. Soap scum requires cleaning chemicals and a lot of scrubbing to scrape it off tiles, sinks, tubs and shower doors. Hard water even makes it difficult to wash your car because it leaves hard to clean white spots on the glass, chrome and paint. But thats not all. Hard water can create real damage to your home and appliances.
