Water Softener FAQ’s
Water Softener FAQ’s in Tucson, AZ
Arizona has some of the hardest water in the United States. The Colorado River deposits high levels of calcium and magnesium into much of our tap water and leaves many homeowners with strange tastes in their mouths, soap spots, crumbly faucets, or worse. Kinetico Quality Water has the answer.

Are Water Softeners Good For Your Skin?
Yes. Softer water means a more beautiful you. In addition to soft, silky hair, soft water makes your skin look smooth and rejuvenated. The dry, itchy residue left behind by hard water is gone. The soap lathers better in soft water and washes away easier. Soft water also cleanses the harsh chemicals that cause your skin to lose moisture and develop eczema. In addition to smoother skin, soft water gives you clearer skin as well. Dry skin produces more oil. That oil leads to clogged pores, breakouts, and acne. Soft water helps you maintain the balance of natural oils on your skin, which causes fewer breakouts.
How Can Water Softeners Help My Home?
Kinetico Quality Water softens and enhance your water in a variety of ways.
- Softer, Brighter Laundry: The Water Quality Association reports laundry costs can double for people using hard water. Clothes become stiff and rough when hard water deposits react with the chemicals in laundry detergents, and because more detergent is needed, colors fade and fabrics wear up to 15 percent faster. Washing machines can wear out nearly 30 times faster when using hard water.
- Reduced Water Spots: With a Kinetico water system, you can reduce stubborn hard water spots and stains from silverware and shower doors. You will notice less etching on glasses and dishes.
- Longer-Lasting Pipes & Appliances: Hard water in plumbing and water-using appliances can cause them to function less efficiently and may cost you more money in repairs over time. A Kinetico water softener reduces scale build-up and gives your plumbing system and water heater better longevity and enhanced performance.
What Size Water Softener Do I Need?
Kinetico Quality Water has a water softening and filtering system for every residential need:

It continues to soften even when the power goes out. This system features an on-demand backwash based on your water usage, not a timer.
- Quad-Tank System: Our quad-tank system is for customers who want a whole-house water filter and softener package. This hybrid machine softens and filters water using kinetic energy from moving water. Two of the tanks filter the chlorine and foul odors and tastes to provide delicious treated water, 24/7.
