Calgon Water Softeners were first put on the market in 1956 and since then many products for home use that help provide whiter, brighter clothes in the laundry, by removing the hard water minerals that keep the dirt trapped in the fabrics. It also helps eliminate soap scum that fades and dulls the clothing.
Primary Purpose
Hard water creates a number of problems with plumbing and appliances because of the increase of calcium and magnesium deposits resulting in huge repair bills over the years. Water softeners are a preventative instead of a de-scaler in that the active ingredients prevent the formation of limescale.
Using these in the laundry also helps protect the washing machine from damage by preventing the calcium and lime buildup in the lines, pumps, drums and other components that contact the water.
