Soft Silky Water!!!
One of the first things that I hear from customers who are not accustomed to Softened water is that the water feels slippery in the shower. This is something that people who have spent their whole life on Softened Water desire and come to expect. There are many things that cause this and I will try to cover the three most common ones today. If you would like to learn more about Water Softeners please visit our website at www.secondwindwater.com .
Water Softening is a process also known as ion exchange. Negatively charged Resin beads attract positively charged contaminants in the Water, such as Iron Manganese and Calcium Hardness. As these positive ions stick to the resin Sodium/Potassium ions are released into the water.
Iron, Manganese and Calcium Hardness are rough on your skin. They also plug up the pores in your skin. When these undesirable contaminants are removed from the water the pores in your skin can open up and release natural skin oils, as they should. The increased release of natural skin oils is one of the ways that Softened Water can produce a silky feeling.
Water that is high in Calcium Bi-Carbonate can give off a silky feeling when Softened. When the Calcium is exchange for Sodium the result is Sodium Bi-Carbonate (Baking Soda) which also can result in a nice silky feel on your wet skin.
Lastly, by Softening the Calcium Hardness from the your Water you will increase the sudsing affect of Soaps. Quite often people are accustomed to using a certain amount of shaving cream, shampoo, or bath soap when ever they use it. Removing the Calcium from the water will often result in a 1/3 to 2/3 Soap reduction. If you continue to use Soap in the same quantities as before the water was Softened the result will be an extremely slippery on.
So cut down on your Soaps and Detergents, let those skin oils flow, and enjoy your Silky Softened Water!
