The name of the brand comes from the expression \u2018calcium gone.\u2019<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This water softener has been one of the <a href=\"\/american-water-heater-reviews\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1171\">highest-selling products<\/a> on the market for decades.

You can add the liquid or powder to a load of laundry by pouring it directly over the clothes if you have a top-loader washing machine or by using the drawer <a href=\"\/aquagear-water-filter\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1172\">compartment of your machine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Adding a water softener to hard water is necessary if you want to <a href=\"\/whirlpool-water-heater\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1173\">prevent buildups<\/a> in your plumbing system and inside of appliances. Drinking water contains different minerals, and these minerals are beneficial to your health.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, high levels of calcium and magnesium change the way water reacts to soap, including laundry and dish detergent. Calcium and magnesium form <a href=\"\/pur-water-filter-pitcher\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1174\">hard deposits<\/a> when they come in contact with soap. These deposits are known as limescale or soap scum.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The presence of high levels of calcium and magnesium also prevents soap and laundry detergent from dissolving completely. This <a href=\"\/whirlpool-water-softener-reviews\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1175\">reduces the efficiency<\/a> of your washing machine or dishwasher.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Limescale can build up inside of plumbing pipes and restrict the flow of water. This can result in damages to your plumbing system, and some of the residues can become dislodged and end up in appliances that use water.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Limescale can also <a href=\"\/wayne-sump-pump\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1177\">appear inside of appliances<\/a> like washing machines and dishwashers. These residues increase the wear and tear on some moving parts and can shorten the life expectancy of your appliances.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Soap scum can form in your bathtub or shower and create an environment in which bacteria thrive if you have a vinyl shower curtain.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If there is hard water in your home, you might have a hard time with cleaning dishes and clothes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/soap-scum-information-1900291\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"1178\">Soap scum<\/a> can leave marks on dishes and clothes, and your clothes might feel stiff or have an unpleasant odor after you wash them.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hard water can also make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodhousekeeping.com\/home-products\/laundry-detergents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"1179\">laundry detergent<\/a> less effective and result in dirt remaining trapped in the fabric of your clothes. This increases the wear and tear on your clothes.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Calgon\u2019s product contains zeolite and polycarboxylates. <a href=\"https:\/\/thegoodinside.com\/6-big-health-benefits-of-zeolite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"1180\">Zeolite is a volcanic mineral<\/a>, but it is possible to produce it industrially. There are several health benefits associated with this mineral since it can eliminate toxins.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Zeolite is made out of oxygen molecules that have bonded with silicon or aluminum ions. These molecules have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chemistryexplained.com\/Va-Z\/Zeolites.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"1181\">negative charge<\/a>. This means that some molecules will bond with them, some will exchange ions, and some larger molecules will be broken down into smaller components.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Calcium and magnesium molecules present in hard water have a positive charge. Ion exchange occurs when these molecules come into contact with the zeolite molecules. This prevents the calcium and magnesium molecules from reacting with the soap or detergent.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Polycarboxylates have a similar mechanism of action. These compounds are often used in laundry and dish detergent. They bond with calcium and magnesium molecules that have a positive charge and prevent limescale from forming.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Using a water softener is necessary if there are high mineral levels in your tap water. If you aren\u2019t sure about whether there is hard water in your home, pour some tap water in a saucepan and let it evaporate. Hard water will leave a limescale deposit behind when it evaporates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_heading\" data-tag=\"h2\" style=\"\">\n<h2 data-css=\"tve-u-1680d5973e6\" dir=\"ltr\" id=\"tab-con-5\">What Makes Calgon Water Softener Unique?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" style=\"\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Calgon has been making water softener for decades. You can count on this brand to deliver a quality product and get the same results every time.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This water softener is very affordable and easy to dose. All you have to do is add a dose of water softener every time you do laundry to prevent soap scum from forming on your clothes and in your washing machine.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The formula is simple, and the product uses ingredients that work. There are no negative effects on the environment or your health.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Using a water softener that you can pour directly into your washer is more affordable than installing a device that filters water and removes unwanted minerals. Installing a filtering device is justifiable if your water has high levels of minerals. This method will protect your plumbing system from limescale buildups.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, hard water doesn\u2019t always justify the expanse of a filtering system. If the calcium and magnesium levels are high enough to be an issue when you do laundry or wash dishes but don\u2019t pose a serious threat to your plumbing pipes, using a product like Calgon water softener makes more sense.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You will get consistent results with an affordable product.

This water softener also has a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Shoppers talk about seeing a difference right away. They typically need to use half a cap of water softener for a load of laundry.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The product eliminates stains and residues. Clothes feel cleaner, and the musty smell that hard water sometimes causes is completely gone.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Some shoppers also noticed that using the water softener made towels softer and more absorbent. They say they can clean their clothes with less laundry detergent.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The liquid is easy to measure thanks to the cap. It dissolves right away and removes issues associated with hard water.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The water softener is sold as a product you can use when you do laundry, but shoppers who have hard water in their homes have found many other uses for the product.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Some people talk about using the water softener in their dishwasher, adding it to their bath to keep limescale away from bathtubs and shower curtains, and using it with cold water to wash food stains.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Reviews mention a drawback associated with purchasing the product online. Some shoppers talk about receiving bottles that leaked during shipping. You can avoid this issue by purchasing this water softener at a local store and storing it carefully.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_heading\" data-tag=\"h2\" style=\"\">\n<h2 data-css=\"tve-u-1680d5a1a7f\" dir=\"ltr\" id=\"tab-con-7\">How Does The Calgon Water Softener Compare To Other Products?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" style=\"\">\n<p>There are other brands with similar products.
