American Water & Air water softener

About this product

American Water & Air | High-Efficiency Water Softening Solutions Hard water is one of the most common and destructive infrastructure challenges facing homeowners across Central Illinois. At American Water & Air, Inc., we provide premium whole-house water softening systems designed to eliminate heavy mineral content at the point of entry, protecting your plumbing investments and elevating your family's daily water experience. True to our mission-driven business model, a percentage of the profits from your system installation goes directly toward buying beds for local foster children through The James Project and digging fresh-water wells via Myanmar Hope. The Science of Soft Water: How It Works Water absorbs heavy mineral micro-particulates like calcium and magnesium as it travels through regional aquifers and miles of municipal distribution pipes. When these minerals enter your home, they bake onto hot surfaces and crystallize, forming a destructive rock-like scale. Our advanced water softeners utilize an automated process called ion exchange to completely restructure your water supply: The Resin Bed: Raw hard water passes through our specialized tank filled with millions of microscopic, food-grade plastic resin beads. The Mineral Exchange: These resin beads carry a negative charge, acting like a magnet to trap the positively charged calcium and magnesium ions. Continuous Protection: The hard minerals remain securely bonded to the resin, while perfectly conditioned, soft water is sent throughout your home's faucets and utilities. Key Benefits of a Whole-House Softener System Upgrading to an American Water & Air softening system delivers immediate, compounding returns for your household budget and personal well-being, as validated by the Water Quality Association (WQA) Softened Water Benefits Study: Appliance Preservation: Eliminates scale buildup inside water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines. This allows them to maintain peak thermodynamic efficiency, slashes monthly energy consumption, and prevents premature mechanical breakdown. Plumbing Protection: Keeps the interior of your pipes, valves, and fixture cartridges clean and scale-free, ensuring optimal water pressure and preventing costly plumbing repairs. Healthier Skin & Hair: Hard water bonds with soap to leave a sticky film that strips your body’s natural oils. Soft water allows soaps to lather properly and rinse away completely, leaving skin noticeably softer and hair vibrant. Vibrant Laundry & Spotless Dishes: Eliminates the mineral deposits that leave glassware looking cloudy and fabrics coming out of the dryer feeling stiff and looking dingy.
