Water Softener vs Reverse Osmosis: What's the Difference?
Softeners treat hardness for the whole home. RO purifies drinking water at one tap. Here's how to choose.
A water softener and a reverse osmosis system solve different problems. Most Dallas homes benefit from both, working together.
Water softeners
Softeners remove calcium and magnesium from every tap in the home. The result is no more scale on fixtures, longer appliance life, softer feeling water in the shower, and cleaner laundry.
Reverse osmosis
RO systems install under the kitchen sink and purify drinking and cooking water. They reduce dissolved solids, chlorine byproducts, lead, fluoride, PFAS, and a long list of other contaminants down to extremely low levels.
