So you’ve finally decided that you’re tired of your home’s hard water and you’re ready to install a water softener. But you’ve never bought a water softener before, and you’re not sure what you’re even supposed to be looking for. Don’t worry, we’re here to help! Today we’re going to talk about how to buy a water softener and why the Hague WaterMax might be perfect for your home!
How to buy a water softener: 6 things to look for
- A high-quality contractor. Even if you purchase a great water softener, you might not get the most out of it if it’s not installed by a high-quality contractor. Here at North Carolina Water Consultants, we are WQA certified, factory trained and licensed plumbers in both Carolinas. That means that we have the expertise and qualifications needed to install your water softener the right way.
- Good design. You need somewhere to put your new water softener in your home. In some small or cluttered homes, this can prove difficult. That’s why you should look for a water softener that will fit nicely in your home without being an eyesore. The Hague WaterMax features a compact and attractive design that doesn’t take up a lot of space and looks great anywhere.
- Efficiency. Water softener efficiency is important on a number of different levels. You want your unit to not only consume a minimal amount of water and energy, but also a minimal amount of regenerant. The Hague WaterMax is a high-efficiency system that will not be a drain on your utility bills. In addition, one of its best features is Absolute Brining, which adjusts the salt dosage before every regeneration cycle in order to only use the amount of regenerant that’s required for every cycle.
- Ease of use. Water softeners can be complicated appliances, especially if you’ve never used one before. That’s why you’ll want to choose a system that is simple to use and understand. Look for a unit with an easy-to-use control screen like the System Control on the Hague WaterMax. The WaterMax’s System Control is a computerized screen that makes it easy to gather any information you need about your softener.
- Flexibility. Your water softener should be flexible enough to match the needs and demands of your particular home and family. The Hague WaterMax allows for a lot of flexibility, especially when it comes to its regeneration cycles, which can be set to occur on-demand, by calendar date or by exact water usage.
- Filtering capabilities. Are you concerned about your home’s water quality in addition to its hardness? Most conventional water softeners only soften your water, and you’d need to buy an entirely separate system to filter your water as well. The Hague WaterMax is unique in the fact that it both filters and softens your water in the same unit, which saves you space and money.
