Water Softeners vs. Water Filters
Once you have your arms around the nature of your home’s water quality issues, it makes sense to learn about the differences between the two main types of water treatment products that you’ll be hearing about: whole-house water softeners and whole-house water filters. While both products address water quality issues, they serve far different functions. In some cases, it may be necessary to install both products in order to fully address the full range of your household water quality concerns.
Whole-House Water Softeners
Whole-house water softeners address a problem that may be common for many Boulder-Denver area homeowners, known as ‘hard water.’ Hard water is the result of having high levels of certain minerals – in our area calcium and magnesium compounds are common – present in your water supply. Hard water often shows itself in the development of ‘limescale’ around the home. Some of the undesirable symptoms of hard water are soap scum deposits in sinks and tubs, powdery deposits on faucet and shower aerators, along with dry skin and hair. If these were the only concerns about hard water and limescale in our homes, maybe it wouldn’t be that big a deal, just an annoyance, but the list of impacts goes on.
Hard water can also lead to the premature failure of automatic water valves in dishwashers, washing machines, icemakers, water dispensers, and more. It can cause failure (and leaking) of seals, seats, and washers in faucet, shower and other water control valves. It can even accelerate the aging process of copper piping that delivers water all around your home – but maybe most importantly, hard water and limescale can negatively impact the performance and lifespan of one of the most important plumbing appliances in your home, your water heater. More than just an annoyance, a litany of potentially costly repairs, if your hardness in your home’s water is at high enough levels.
Whole-House Water Filters
While water softeners deal with the specific issue of hardness, whole-house water filters can address a broad range of other potential contaminants that may be present in your home’s water. From arsenic and phosphorus to rust and pesticides, and many other substances, whole-house water filtration systems are designed to treat many issues that water softeners do not. They can even resolve taste and odor issues with your water as well. Whole-house water filters can be tailored to the specific needs of you and your home.
Your household water may contain varying levels of:
- Chlorine (fairly common from municipal water treatment)
- Organic chemicals
- Pesticides
- Fertilizers
- Plant hormones
- VOCs
- Carbon
- Sulfate
- Phosphorous
- Arsenic
- Fluoride
- And more

Many point-of-use water filters do a very good job of filtering what they’re designed to address – RO filters in particular – but only at the water tap/s where they’re installed. In many cases, whole-home protection is a more desireable solution to a family’s and a home’s needs.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Filters
Reverse osmosis (RO) water filters are a great addition to places in your home that see significant water consumption, kitchens in particular. Rec room bars also come to mind. RO water filters provide extremely pure water, and are a great complement to any whole home water treatment system. When used with a whole-home filtration system, a point-of-use RO water filter will likely require maintenance less frequently, too. A nice bonus with the purest water you can achieve!

Boulder-Denver Water Quality Testing!
The first step in determining if a water treatment product makes sense to consider for your home is having your home’s water analyzed.

Our team at Save Home Heat handles all the steps for you. No forms to download or bottles for you to mail! Once we understand the full nature of your water’s makeup then, if necessary, the discussion of potential water treatment products can begin.

All advice and recommendations that we make will be provided in a friendly, low-pressure manner.

We have zero sales agenda in our conversations with our customers, only the desire to serve your needs and earn your trust and future business.
