These are two distinct different water issues that you need to be aware of. Filtering addresses the health and physical side of water quality. Water filters take out the chemicals, pesticides, organics and odors. Bad tastes are taken out with water filtering. Basically the unhealthy elements found in tap water are removed through filtering and the water becomes save drinking water.

Water softeners address hard water issues. Hard water, specifically the calcium in hard water, is what destroys your plumbing, fixtures, water heaters, and appliances. Hard water can cost you a lot of money if it is not taken care of.

At Pure Elements, Inc. these problems are both dealt with using the environmentally sound and salt-free HealthyHome Solution whole house water filter system.
