fr POURING MONET DOWN THE DRAIN? A few words about conservation Water Softeners Low-cost way to soften water, remove sedi­ ment and iron. • According to a leading independent testing laboratory, soft water improves cleaning efficiency up to 250% -- saves on soaps and detergents, makes the laundry task much easier and signifi­ cantly improves the appearance of fabrics • Water that is free of hardness and rust minerat will avoid plumbing scale buildup that restricts the water flow and causes valve leakages. • Soft wat^r means easier housekeeping, especially m the bath: lavatory, toilets and showers. They will be much easier to clean and maintain with less frequency and less-cteansers • Bathing in soft water is actually safer, gentler, because the minerals that cause scum and/curd deposits have been removed to leave your skin free to breathe. • Hard water causes scaling in water heaters.
