Here are a few Advantages of Soft Water
-
- Having soft water saves you money. According to a study by the Battelle Institute, you use up to 75% less soap and fewer cleaning products with soft water. Considering the soap and detergent aisle is the most expensive aisle in the grocery store, your budget will immediately reflect the savings!
- Your plumbing will last longer. Hard water can cause a buildup of scale from mineral deposits. Over time, pipes and fixtures can clog, water flow can diminish, and water pressure can be reduced. This doesn’t happen with soft water. Soft water is low in mineral content and therefore doesn’t leave deposits in the pipes.
- Your hot water heater will last longer. Scale and lime buildup created by minerals will not take place if your water is soft. This adds life to your hot water heater. Also, if you have deposits in your hot water heater, the University of New Mexico found it will cost up to 29.6% more to heat the water that your family does use.
- Diminished razor burn and less dry, cracked skin: Soft water causes the razor to glide more easily across the face. This, in turn, causes your razor blades to last longer. Hard water minerals can also buildup on your skin. You know that “squeaky” clean feeling after a shower? Well that’s not the feel of your natural skin. Often it’s the result of minerals bonding with your soap to stick to your skin.
- Water-using appliances will last longer. Whether it’s your coffee pot, your humidifier, or your hot tub, your hard water is causing a buildup of minerals and reducing the life of these products.

[I] called to pay for a service call and wanted to let you know that [I'm] so thrilled with the service received from Shawn over the phone and Nick in person. It was a top notch experience.
We love our Hawkins softener!
We were already well underway with remodeling our kitchen and were getting ready for school to start again, so needless to say things were hectic around our house. In the process, we had gutted the kitchen and needed some way to have water available in/near the kitchen while we were
We were already well underway with remodeling our kitchen and were getting ready for school to start again, so needless to say things were hectic around our house. In the process, we had gutted the kitchen and needed some way to have water available in/near the kitchen while we were remodeling.
Wanting an easy way to get info, I filled out your online form about bottled water and water coolers. I was pleasantly surprised by your quick and thorough reply, explaining the different options and pricing for Hawkins’ services.
Through conversations and the information you provided, it was clear that while the bottled water or cooler option would solve our immediate situation, a long-term solution for convenient, refreshing water would be your sink-mount Reverse Osmosis system. So we made arrangements for its installation.
Your technician ~ Kevin ~ came out and he was all business; he put the other guys to shame with his efficiency and productivity! He quickly installed the system and we made arrangements for him to come back to finalize the installation when the granite counters arrived.
After he left, I counted the pre-granite holes made in the counter “base” and realized that the place he had intended to put the RO system was the space I had already committed to my garbage disposal button. So when the granite arrived, he had to do some modifications for a tidy and effective placement. He happily did that and looked at the connection to the water in my fridge, to make sure it was working properly. All the while, he was polite, accommodating and just plain great to work with.
I was telling my neighbor about our experience and she said “Oh, yes! Everyone knows Hawkins is the best!”
Thanks for having the foresight to help me discover what I needed instead of just “taking the sale” for what I thought I wanted. Please feel free to use me as a reference for your business, anytime!
Atta Boy to Mr. Nick!
Professional, courteous, kind,
knowledgeable, and quick.

We are very very pleased with his service!
Thank you for sending him our way!
Thought I would let you know how pleased I was today with my new water
softener installation.
From my sales person Mike Sommer to the installer which I am sorry I don't
know his name, it was a very uplifting experience. Everyone I dealt with was
very nice and professional.
