What you get from Bonfe:
If your water leaves your skin dry, your dishes spotty, or your appliances struggling, hard water is likely the culprit. And in the Twin Cities, hard water is a common headache. A water softener fixes these frustrations, making everyday life easier—and your home happier.
Many homeowners enjoy these common benefits of water softener installations:
The water in the Twin Cities metro is loaded with minerals that can dry out skin and leave hair feeling rough. A water softener removes these minerals, so your showers leave you soft, clean, and comfortable.
Have you ever noticed that chalky white residue on your sinks, shower doors, and faucets? That’s limescale from hard water—and it’s common in Minnesota homes. Over time, it can clog pipes and shorten the life of your appliances. A water softener stops buildup before it starts, keeping your plumbing and fixtures in top shape.
If your “clean” glasses are covered in spots, your dishwasher isn’t the problem—your water is. Hard water makes it tough for soap to rinse properly, leaving behind streaks and residue. A water softener fixes this, giving you crystal-clear dishes, every time.
Hard water makes detergent less effective, leaving clothes feeling stiff and scratchy. If you’re tired of rough towels and faded colors, a water softener helps detergent do its job, so your laundry comes out softer, fresher, and looking like new.
The Twin Cities’ hard water doesn’t just leave behind buildup on your fixtures—it also damages what you can’t see. Mineral deposits inside pipes and appliances can reduce water pressure, wear down your water heater, and shorten the lifespan of dishwashers and washing machines. A water softener helps everything run smoother, longer, and more efficiently.
Hard water doesn’t just feel bad—it can taste bad, too. If your tap water has a chalky or metallic flavor, it’s those excess minerals at work. A water softener helps by removing them, giving you better-tasting water straight from the faucet.
If you live in the Twin Cities, chances are your water is hard. That means it’s packed with minerals like calcium and magnesium that can dry out your skin, leave buildup on your faucets, and make your appliances work harder.
Here’s how to tell if your home needs a water softener:
If any of these sound familiar, a water softener can make a big difference. Bonfe can test your water and recommend the best solution for your home.
