Today we are going to take a look at the Tahoe Water Softener.
At WaterSmart, we have over 25 years of experience in the water softener and plumbing industry; and we'd love to share our expertise with you.
Are you looking for a new softener? We'll give you a detailed description of the Tahoe water softener outlining its great features and benefits to help you in your decision. So, let's get started.
Tahoe Water Softener: Features and Benefits
Amazing Warranty: The Tahoe water softener comes with an incredible 7 year parts, 5 year labour warranty to give you the peace of mind that your softener will be covered for a long time if something should go wrong.
Energy Saver: If you are conscious about using as little energy as possible to both save money and to be more environmentally friendly, then the Tahoe water softener is a great choice. It will cost you less than $2 a year for the hydro to operate it.
Easy-to-Read Board: The board on the Tahoe water softener is backlit which means that it is much easier to read in dark spaces. This is a great feature especially if you want your softener installed in a discreet darker corner or cupboard in your home.
The display board also changes colour from its normal operation/cycles if it goes into fault mode. This will quickly alert you that there is a problem so that you can address it faster.
Uses Less Salt and Water: Depending on your system size, the Tahoe water softener can save you up to 21% in the amount of salt that you use.
For example, if you own a 50,000 grain capacity Tahoe BRS softener and you do one regeneration cycle per week, you can save 988 litres of water and 68 kilograms of salt per year.
Reduced water and salt usage is better for both your pocketbook and for the environment.

Dry Brine System: A dry brine system means that your water softener will only fill up with water a few hours before your regeneration cycle.
Once the cycle is complete, the water will be emptied out of your tank thus extending the life of your salt. You'll use even less salt and save more money.
Counter Current (Up-Flow) Regeneration: The Tahoe uses counter current regeneration which means that the cleaning effort flows in the opposite direction to the service flow.
This process results in lower operation costs, higher regeneration processes, and a better quality of treated water.
Quiet Operation: One of the great features of the Tahoe water softener is that it is extremely quiet. This is due to its noise-cancelling silencer located on its valve. This great device will reduce the noise your softener makes by up to 50%.
Won't Overflow: This softener is equipped with a safety float brine valve that prevents your salt tank from messy and damaging salt tank overflows.

Why Installing a Water Softener in Kitchener-Waterloo Is Important
When you hear that Kitchener-Waterloo has hard water, that means that the water in the area contains large amounts of dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium.
Calcium and magnesium are natural minerals found in rocks and soil. They can also be found in groundwater. Groundwater is the type of water that comes from the cracks and spaces in between rocks, sand and soil.
Most of the water that is available in the Kitchener area comes from groundwater. In fact, about 75% of Kitchener's drinking water is groundwater that comes from the Grand River watershed.
Groundwater contains minerals that make your water hard
The minerals found in groundwater are healthy to drink, but they do contribute to some other issues including:
Build-up on your appliances: Over time, the minerals from your hard water will begin to build up on your appliances that use water, especially those that use hot water or heat your water.
Build-up in your plumbing: Hard water can also cause a build up of mineral deposits inside your pipes. As this build-up increases, the space available for your water to flow through your pipes gets smaller.
This causes a decrease in your water pressure. If left untreated, your pipes may eventually need to be replaced.
Hard water can leave a build-up in your pipes over time
Hard on your clothes: If you wash your clothes in hard water, you may find that they get mineral stains on them. In addition to nasty hard-to-remove stains, hard water also makes the fibers in your clothing more brittle so they tend to wear out faster.
Dry skin and hair: The minerals in hard water can make your skin and hair feel dry. You may also notice that your scalp feels very itchy.
In addition, when you have hard water, you tend to use more soap and shampoo because hard water doesn't lather up as well as soft water does.
