Features of Leaf Home’s water softening system



Benefits of a water softener system
Softening systems help reduce calcium and magnesium through a process called ion exchange, giving you peace of mind about your home’s water supply.
Reduce Calcium
Mineral deposits inside the walls of pipes build-up and restrict the flow of water.
Reduce Magnesium
Causes scale build-up, reducing water flow and can lead to hard water effects such as dry skin and hair.

Increased appliance lifespan
The minerals in hard water lead to scale buildup in pipes and water-using appliances like dishwashers, washing machines, and water heaters. A whole-home water softener system maintains the effectiveness and lifespan of your appliances.
Cleaner dishes, appliances and surfaces
Say goodbye to cloudy glassware, streaky dishes and residue on tubs, sinks, faucets and shower doors.


Better shower experience
Softer water leaves skin and hair feeling smoother and less dry after showers. Plus, soaps and shampoos produce more lather with less product.
How the water softener system works

Continuous delivery
The soft water recharging mode ensures the delivery of soft water during times of heavy usage, making sure you get consistent and reliable delivery.
Smart clean mode
If no water is used for 7 days, our softening system will perform an automatic refresh, cleaning out the entire tank to help prevent bacteria growth.


Enhanced reverse flow
Upflow construction pushes hard water minerals up through the media, using only the necessary amount of media and maximizing system efficiency.

Frequently asked questions
Simply put, hard water has high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. These minerals aren’t inherently dangerous, but they can create scale or buildup in your pipes and appliances, which can impact water pressure and reduce their lifespan, leading to costly repairs and replacement.
Hard water is a common issue for homeowners and sometimes gets overlooked. You may see hard water residue or spots on dishes and glassware, soap scum buildup in your shower, or, yellowed, dingy whites coming out of the wash.
In some instances, certain contaminants in water may lead to health issues. Most of the time, water hardness does not pose a threat to health. But it can make skin conditions like eczema and acne worse. Hard water mineral buildup can lead to coarse hair, hair breakage and even hair loss.
Bottled water is naturally soft… but has a unique pollutant that you won’t find in tap water: microplastics, which have been identified as a possible health hazard.
Water softeners extend the lifespan of your appliances and plumbing, and save you money over time. However, water softener systems come with an upfront cost and require regular maintenance.
Yes, installing a whole-house water softener is worth it if your home has hard water, whether from a city supply or a well. Doing so will improve the lifespan of your plumbing and water-based appliances.
Yes, softened water is safe to drink and can taste better than hard water, based on your preferences.
Salt-based water softener systems remove hardness-causing minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and require periodic salt refills and an automatic regeneration process. Salt-free water conditioners do not remove hard water minerals, but instead modify them to prevent scale build-up. Both can greatly benefit your plumbing and water-based appliances’ lifespan. Softeners have added benefits such as softer skin and hair.

Our local water experts test your home’s well water to personalize a water treatment system based on your specific needs. This will depend on a variety of factors, including capacity, budget, and minerals present in the well water. Our well water softener systems, in combination with some of our other 250+ product combinations, can both soften and filter your well water, helping remove minerals, bacteria, tannins, and more.
Maintenance will depend on what type of water softener system is installed. For example, ion exchange or salt water softeners will need to be refilled with salt about once a month. However, salt-free water conditioners require less frequent maintenance.
The size of your water softener depends on your daily water usage and water hardness levels. Luckily, our expert team can determine the size, design, and capabilities of a water softener tailored to fit your home.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, water softener systems last an average of 10 to 15 years.
