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 with a problem on equipment Hawkins did not install that I was sure would need to be replaced. Curt made a trip to my house the same day and did something very unusual for a typical salesman – he fixed our old unit! He was so educational – teaching me how to use the unit and explaining all the working parts. His help was truly a blessing in our lives as replacing the unit would have been quite a burden for us right now. I will definitely give Hawkins and Curt my future business. Thank you and God Bless!
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.

Please know that if I hear of anyone in need of a softener I will say the
name Hawkins proudly. Thank you again for the great service.

The technician made the proper repair in a very timely and professional manner. This is my first experience with your company. You were recommended to me and I will do the same in the future.
Wow! I can't say enough about the service I received from Hawkins Water. You were right on time with the appointment and quote. Sean was right on time with the call back and scheduling, realizing that the additional plumbing needed a couple of guys.
Arlin and Corbin were right on

Arlin and Corbin were right on time and were both great guys with fantastic attitudes despite the old houses goofy plumbing.
Please let them know how appreciative I am of their work and attitudes!
Oh, almost forgot, I am very confident that our rusty, hard water problem will be a thing of the past.
We love our Hawkins softener!
