It seems a little strange that water is soft or hard. However,
these are two recognized types of water. A water softener is a
machine that removes certain elements from hard water, thus
softening it and making it a little better to use.
Hard water is water that has high amounts of calcium and
magnesium. These elements can create stains on sinks and in
tubs. It can also damage hair and leave skin feeling dried out
and itchy. Not only can hard water be inconvenient in small
ways, the buildup as a result of the calcium and magnesium
deposits can actually clog pipes. A water softener can reduce
the problems associated with hard water.
A water softener removes the calcium and magnesium from water.
Some water softeners also remove iron. The water softener is a
machine that, when connected to the water supply, actually
"softens" hard water. Most water softeners require an amount of
salt for their proper functioning. Because elements are removed
from the water, they build up in the softener rather than pipes.
This means that the water softener requires regular maintenance.
There are
different sizes and types of water softeners. The more
water used by a household, the bigger the water softener needs
to be. There are also three different types of water softener:
manual, semi-automatic and automatic. The automatic merely
requires regular maintenance. The other two types require a more
active role in the removal of calcium and magnesium from the
household water supply.
While soft water is great for washing and bathing, hard water is
more pleasant to the taste. As a result, many people find that
it is nice to have one faucet in the home that provides hard
water for drinking and cooking.
A water softener decreases the overall need for strenuous pipe
maintenance due to buildup. It can also provide a more pleasant
way to use water to bathe, as well as preserve the quality of
clothes washed in a washing machine.

Has product placement gone too far? I dare say yes. It's been nine months, but I'm (still) looking for the perfect washing machine. Just moments ago, I searched for "washing machine" on Yahoo and saw a curious listing among the sponsored results. "Lynette's Washing Machine," the headline blared. I was immediate drawn in.
