Q: How do I know if I have hard water in my hair?

• <div><p>If your &lsquo;do isn&rsquo;t doing what you want it to do despite using good hair care products, hard water might be to blame. Since hard water can&rsquo;t rinse soap off as well as soft water can, your hair might grow limp because of the shampoo and conditioner residue that&rsquo;s left behind. If you color your hair, you might see it fade more quickly or even turn a different shade as the dye reacts with the minerals in the water. You might also experience an itchy scalp, thanks to the dryness that comes from bathing in the hard water.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to oversize a water softener?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not a good idea to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-water-softener-do-i-need.htm">oversize your water softener</a>. Doing so will mean the tank doesn&rsquo;t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you&rsquo;ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.</p></div>

Q: Can you have both a water softener and a water filter?

• <div><p>Yes, you can have both a water softener and a water filter. In fact, some manufacturers sell dual water softening and filtration systems that treat hard water and provide clean drinking water. If you&rsquo;re unsure about what you need or want to discuss your options, reach out to a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-water-softener/">local water softener installation company</a>.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a conditioner with a water softener?

• <div><p>You should not use a water conditioner with a water softener because a water conditioner changes the chemistry of the water and causes the ion exchange in a softener to be ineffective. Choose a water softener if you have hard water or well water, and use a water conditioner if you need to remove certain contaminants.</p></div>
