Water softeners are needed to reduce the high hardness of water and to make it soft, suitable for usage in our homes. Hard water causes Scaling and impacts our health and aesthetics of water using appliances.

Calcium and Magnesium ions in water make the water hard. Water softeners work on the Ion exchange principle. Calcium and Magnesium ions are exchanged with Sodium (Common Salt) ions. Water Softeners reduce hardness levels by up to 90%.

Hard water forms scaling on bathroom fixtures. Hair fall, skin irritation & skin rashes may also be observed. Hard water uses Higher electricity consumption, and impacts the aesthetics of bathroom and kitchen fixtures. It also lowers the higher life of all water-using equipments.

Softeners do not treat or reduce microbiological contamination in water. If your water has any impurities including microbial contamination you will still need to use a drinking water system that removes bacteria.

Normal crystal salt or salt tablets are used in the softener during the regeneration process. This does not have any direct impact on us as the amount of sodium intake via water is very negligible.

Water softeners are ideal and effective for removing hardness from water. Water conditioners are not effective as softeners since they do not remove the hardness completely.

3M softeners use high-quality food grade resin which keeps the water safe for usage. 3M softeners are equipped with a fully automatic multi-port valve with a high degree of diagnostic tools and accuracy of data.
3M uses food-grade raw material on all its wet parts and not industrial-grade raw material. 3M softeners have long resin life and higher efficiency of filtration (up to 1200 regenerations and 5-micron filtration) There is no resin depletion in 3M softeners and this saves on yearly resin top-up costs and ensures consistent output. 3M has a lower cost of ownership because of 40% to 60% lower cost/liter in comparison to competition models.

Water hardness level up to 60 ppm* is considered soft water. When water hardness is above 60 ppm water hardness treatment systems are recommended.

RO treatment plants waste up to 80% of water while water wastage from softeners is less than 10%. Flow rate of RO plants in general is very limited and consumes high electricity due to continuous working. RO will have high recurring costs as well. while water wastage from softeners is less than 10%.

Never use softeners directly in the borewell line. This could damage your borewell due to the excessive back pressure generated due to pressure/flow gaps that may occur during the softener working. 3M authorized representative will guide on installation options during the site visit.
