Because of the high mineral content in the water, Kitchener residents are more likely to experience these issues than anywhere else in Canada. Therefore installing a water softener is more necessary here than in other areas which enjoy softer water.Because you’ve most likely been using hard water in your home for some time, your washing machine and other water-consuming appliances will likely have scale buildup. Cleaning your washing machine filter is really important. Effectively, it acts as a barrier to stop any foreign objects (coins, clips, tissues, fluff and hair) from reaching your pump, where they can cause a lot of damage. Over time, the constant exposure to hard water can also contribute to premature wear and tear of the washing machine, shortening its lifespan and potentially leading to costly repairs or replacements. Water softeners are a great way to protect the appliances you have in your home whilst helping them to work more efficiently and effectively. Suitable for medium-to-large households, the Monarch Water Ultra HE can deliver 1,520 litres of softened water per day.

According to a report done in 2011, the city of Kitchener was found to have some of the hardest water in Canada. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. The national average in Canada is 10.5 grains per gallon whereas Kitchener's level was tested at 20-32 grains per gallon. That is more than twice the national level. Hard water can cause the following problems when doing laundry: To clean the outside of your washing machine, simply take a bowl of warm soapy water and a lightly damp cloth, wiping in and around the machine – not forgetting to clean the glass in your door and around the control panel. How to remove hard water stains from washing machinesThis is because a water softener traps the harsh minerals that prevent lather from forming and cleaning effectively. The removal of calcium and magnesium also means that you won’t need to use any conditioner. Your dishwasher, for example, should provide greater performance and efficiency, but you may need to change your dishwasher practices. For example, as previously said, you should no longer need to use the hottest wash and more detergent to clean your dishes. The filter also requires ample space for installation, which may be a consideration for those with limited space in their laundry area.
