Few things are harder on your family than hard water. It's hard on your clothes, your dishes, your pipes and your appliances.

To find out more about hard water and how Morton can make your "hard" life a little easier, just select the topics from the menu below.

Why Softening Salt Is Important

When the resin beads in your softener become saturated with calcium and magnesium ions, they need to be recharged. Sodium ions from the water softening salt reactivate the resin beads so they can continue to do their job. Without sufficient softening salt, your water softener is less efficient. As a rule, you should check your water softener once a week to be sure the salt level is always at least one quarter full.
