Do I Need a Water Softener or a Water Filtration System? That depends on why your are concerned about your water quality. If you have lime scale buildup, traces of rust in your bathtub or toilet, hard water spots on your dishes, then a water softener may solve your problem. If your water smells or tastes bad, a water filter would be your best choice. A water filter also removes industrial contaminates, some bacteria and viruses, and pesticides. If the people using the water have skin sensitivities or health issues, a water filter may be helpful.

Hard water also spots your dishes, makes soap and shampoo stick to your hair and can leave deposits anywhere water accumulates. If a person washes their hair and their hand sticks to the hair while they are squeezing out the excess water, they have hard water. The minerals also build up in your washing machine and can make laundry dingy and rough to the touch.
The solution in many cases is a water softener. This is an appliance that is plumbed into your home's water supply system. The water softener has a mineral tan filled with small polystyrene, resin, beads. The beads carry a negative charge. The minerals in the water have a positive charge, so as the water passes through, the minerals stick to the beads. After the water cycles through, a salt solution is flushed through the beads, flushing out the minerals. The softener flushes and cleans itself between each water treatment.
There are three types of water softeners. The most basic type has an electric timer that flushes and recharges the system on a set schedule. The second type uses a computer that watches how much water is used and regenerates based on the amount of water that has passed through the mineral tank. The third type uses a mechanical water meter to measure water usage and initiate charging.
A water softener protects your pipes, appliances, and dishes. You will also use less shampoo, dishsoap, laundry detergent, and other products.
However, it does not take out the smaller particulates that flavor and affect your drinking water. The overall safety of your drinking water in towns and cities is protected and regulated. Smaller contaminants are left, but they are not considered a health risk. Well water is not regulated, so it should be tested on an annual basis
Filtered water removes the trace elements producing a fresh clean water. The difference in taste can be marked. Some people regularly purchase bottle water either individually or by having water delivered to their office or home. Some bottle water comes from pristine natural water sources. Over 25% of bottle water comes from the tap. Aquafina, Nestle Pure Water, and Dasani all state in their company information that their water comes from public, municipal water--tap water.
A water filtration system will remove chlorine, bacteria, lead and other elements that may still be in your water. Improving the flavor of the water and removing organisms and bacteria that are too small to be removed by the municipal system or the water softener. Several health benefits have been tied to filtered water and it can lengthen the lifetime of smaller appliances.
