Do I need a water softener if I have city water?
City water can still contain hardness minerals and chlorine. A combination softener and carbon system can address both.

Does a city water softener remove chlorine?
A traditional softener primarily treats hardness, but PureWater's combination system incorporates carbon filtration to help reduce chlorine, tastes and odors.

Will a water softener help with scale buildup?
Yes. Softening reduces calcium and magnesium hardness that contributes to scale on fixtures and appliances.

Should I test my city water before installing a system?
Yes. Water testing helps determine hardness and other water-quality conditions so the correct treatment system can be recommended.
