Direclly and indirectly... Soft water saves both energy and expense In this era of critical energy needs, the good news is that soft water saves energy both directly and indirectly. It saves energy directly by cutting the cost of heating wafer. About 85 percent of the country has water that is hard. The dissolved rock in hard watw coats the inside of plumbing^pipes and water heaters withfscale. Soft water saves This scale is an. insulator, and trying to heat water through it wastes fuel in gas heaters as well as results in SECTION 1 -SUPPLEMENT!^ MclllENRY PLAINDEALER - PAGE 4 -FRIDAY. MARCH 23,1*79 ~ "" " the inefficient operation and early burnout of heating ele­ ments in electric heaters. By minimizing scale buildup, soft water keeps energy costs to a minimum. Energy is an important ingredient in the making of every manufactured product. It runs the machines that make the products, powers the trucks that deliver them, heats and lights the stores that sell them. When a pro­ duct lasts longer, energy is saved. Clothes last longer Clothing lasts longer when laundered in soft water. In hard water, laundry soaps and detergents produce de­ posits on clothing fabric. These deposits tend to make the fabrics brittle and, with the flexing and bending en­ countered in normal use, they increase the rate of wear. Save on soaps The resulting shortening of fabric life may be substantial. The American Institute of Laundering, forexample, re­ ported an increase of up to 50 percent in the life of linen when soft water washing was substituted for hard water washing.. In addition, soap and detergent use was sharp­ ly cut. Energy eonserver It takes energy to run the pumps that deliver water, and energy to run the mining equipment that digs salt. 0cuU74JtenH&i (•15)459-2300 (312) 524-4284 Even, before the current em­ phasis on the conservation of water and energy, Culligan, the leading water softener manufacturer, had devel­ oped a device that conserves the water, energy and salt used by water softening appliances in their recharge cycles. * Prolong applianee life It is the Aqua-Sensor®, a device that can save as much as 6,000 gallons of water a year, reduce salt usage by as much as 47 percent, and also cut the amount of electricity required for softener opera­ tion. Further, proper water treatment prolongs the life of all water-using appliances, such as clothes washers, dishwashers, coffee-makers and hufliidifiCTs, and extends the life of aflbath fixtures and plumbing pipes themselves. These may be indirect sav­ ings on energy, but they are big savings nonetheless. Cleaning is easier! Finally, and no^to be over­ looked, is the'physical energy soft water saves.
