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: Is drinking hard water bad for you?

• <div><p>Hard water doesn&rsquo;t pose a risk to your physical health when you drink it. In fact, drinking hard water can help ensure you get enough of essential minerals like calcium in your daily diet. However, extremely hard water can contribute to dry skin and make your scalp itchy if you wash your hair in it too often.</p></div>

Q: How many bags of potassium chloride are needed for a water softener?

• <div><p>Experts recommend that you put two to four bags of potassium chloride in your water softener every month. This amount depends on how much is in the bag (40 pounds is most common) and what your water softener manufacturer recommends. For more specific advice, talk to a water softener pro in your area and read the manual that came with your system. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a water softener and a water filter?

• <div><p>The main <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/water-softener-vs-water-filter.htm">difference between water softeners and water filters</a> is that softeners remove hard minerals from the water, while filters have more of a blanket effect, removing all contaminants above a certain size. Filters are also much less expensive to install and protect against bacteria and other impurities. Depending on your water supply, you may need both. </p></div>

Q: What's the best way to fix hard water in the shower?

• <div><p>The best way to fix hard water in a shower is by installing a water softener system. This is the only way to truly ensure that hard water doesn't enter your shower&mdash;or any part of your home beyond the water softener. Most other methods are temporary fixes. While you can choose a shower filter, these filters aren&rsquo;t as effective and may not remove many contaminants that cause limescale and hard water stains.</p></div>
