In our neck of the woods here in Alberta, most of the wells drilled draw hard water up from the ground.  The big well companies advertise water softener devices, the local grocers sell water softening salts, and many housewives work hard to dimish the limited cleaning properties of hard water (let alone the staining potential of mineral rich water).

Permanent and easy solutions are available in the form of water filters that process each and every drop of water as it enters the home.  Treating both cold and hot water, LifeSource filters use a carbon-based system to remove chlorine.  Their Beotron Water Treatment System conditions water without using salts, chemicals or magnets, resulting in water that is naturally soft; not slippery and slimy as is often found with ordinary water softeners.  Your pipes won’t corrode from exposure to salt, and the natural minerals present in the water will not be stripped out and replaced by sodium, maintaining the natural magnesium and calcium content. 

These heavy duty systems can be installed both within and without the home, are rugged, and are designed for ease of use.  The automatic filter cleansing cycle can be set on a timer to eliminate any concerns regarding ongoing maintenance and upkeep.  If you’re tired of hard water, take a peek!
