Benefits of a Magnetic Water Purifier Compared to a Softening System

A magnetic water purifier is an alternative to a water softener. Softeners are not considered environmentally friendly, due to the salt that is a by-product of the regeneration process. Another benefit of a magnetic system is they are easier to maintain. With a traditional softener, you have to add salt and perform regular maintenance. A magnetic conditioner requires no maintenance and uses no salt or chemicals.

A magnetic water conditioner or purifier is generally used for homes with hard water. Hardness causes scaling and staining of your sinks, tubs, toilets and appliances. It causes problems for bathing and cleaning as well. Soaps, shampoos and cleaning products don’t lather well with high hardness levels. You can feel it in your skin and hair after a shower. In the laundry room, it can stain your clothing. In addition to the damage that can be seen, hard water causes unseen damage. Pipes and appliances can be damaged by unconditioned hard water, which is corrosive.

Ceramic magnets are used in magnetic water purification systems. These have much more power than your standard magnet. They are easy to install and work well with any type of plumbing. To condition the supply in your entire house, install them on your incoming water line. You will need one or two, depending on the size of your home and the degree of hardness in your well. One unit is usually sufficient to treat homes up to 1500 square feet. Larger homes will need two magnets. If your water is exceptionally hard, you can install two units.

A magnetic purifier saves money when compared to a softener. In addition to being less expensive in both price and installation, these purification systems don’t require any salt or other chemicals. There are no maintenance costs, other than the price of the unit. Hard water can cause an increase in energy bills of about ten percent. Your water heater needs to work harder to heat hard water. Ceramic magnets remove the hardness by conditioning the water, saving money on your energy bill.
