Water Softeners vs. Water Filters
After getting a comprehensive understanding of any water quality concerns that may exist in your Thornton home, it makes sense to learn about how the two main types of water treatment products you’ll hear about differ. These two specific products are whole-house water softeners and whole-house water filters. In some cases, installing both products might be necessary to address the full range of water quality concerns you have about your water supply.
Whole-House Water Softeners
“Hard water” is when high levels of specific minerals exist in your water supply. In the Thornton area, calcium and magnesium compounds are common and fall into this category. In many homes, hard water is a pretty common water quality concern. Addressing hard water is exactly what whole-house water softeners are designed to do.
Identifying hard water is relatively easy, as you’ll discover “limescale” around your home’s plumbing fixtures and appliances. You may also find soap scum deposits in your sinks and tubs, experience dry skin and hair, or notice powdery deposits around your faucet and shower aerators. If these issues were the only downsides to hard water, it might just be categorized as an annoyance. However, the list of negative effects of hard water and limescale continues on.
Having hard water can also lead to the premature failure of automatic water valves in dishwashers, washing machines, water dispensers, and more. It can cause seals, seats, and washers in faucet, shower, and other water control valves to fail (and leak). Hard water can even erode the copping piping responsible for delivering water throughout your home. Most importantly, perhaps, is that hard water and limescale can decrease the lifespan and performance you get out of your water heater – a very important (and expensive) plumbing appliance you depend on daily. So while seeing some limescale may not seem like a big cause for concern, water hardness levels can certainly reach a point where costly repairs can become more frequent.
Whole-House Water Filters
So while whole-home water softeners deal with solving water hardness, a whole-home water filter is used to treat a wide range of other potential contaminants you might find in your Thornton home’s water supply. Examples of these contaminants include pesticides, rust, arsenic, and fluoride. These are the types of concerns that a whole-house water filtration system deals with, and a water softener does not. As an added benefit, whole-home water filters can even resolve issues with how your water tastes and smells.
Your household water may contain varying levels of:
- Organic chemicals
- Pesticides
- Fertilizers
- Plant hormones
- VOCs
- Chlorine (fairly common from municipal water treatment)
- Carbon
- Sulfate
- Phosphorous
- Arsenic
- Fluoride
- Heavy metals
- And more

While many point-of-use water filters – specifically RO filters – do a fine job of filtering out what they are designed for, they are only treating the water at the specific tap(s) where they have been installed. For this reason, a whole-home solution is often preferable for homeowners.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Filters
Reverse osmosis (RO) water filters are a great addition to the areas of your home that see high water consumption. Kitchens, master bathrooms, and rec room bars come to mind. RO filters provide extremely pure water and a great pairing with any whole-house water treatment system. As an added bonus, a point-of-use RO water filter will likely need less maintenance when combined with a whole-home filtration system!

Thornton Water Quality Testing
The first step in determining which water treatments might make sense for you to consider in your home is having your home’s water supply professionally analyzed. At Save Home Heat Company, we provide full service, no hassle home water testing services. This may include reliable, basic in-house water testing performed by our team, or it may involve employing the services of a certified and state-accredited laboratory if a closer look at your water is needed. Our team will handle every step for you. No forms to download, and no bottles to mail out! Once we have a complete understanding of the makeup of your water, we can then start to discuss what water treatment products make sense for your home.
You can trust our professionals to review the findings of your water test in a clear, careful manner and without any sales agenda. We will patiently answer any questions you have, and give any advice and product recommendations to you in a friendly, low-pressure manner. We are simply focused on giving you information that will allow you to make an informed decision you’ll be comfortable with. To this end, if your water test results determine that neither a whole-house water filter or softener makes sense, we can simply end the discussion there!
