Puronics Defender water softener and filtration system

The local context

Hardness is common.
Your home is individual.

SAWS reports a typical water hardness range of 15–20 grains per gallon. That is a utility-level range, not a measurement at your address.

Hardness describes naturally occurring calcium and magnesium. It is not itself a health hazard. For a homeowner, its practical effects can include mineral spots, scale, and soap residue.

Make hardness management part of your home’s water-treatment plan.

How softening works

A mineral exchange,
inside the tank.

Conventional softeners use resin, then regenerate it for continued use.

Water meets resin.

Incoming water passes through resin beads that exchange calcium and magnesium for sodium or potassium ions.

Resin is renewed.

A brine solution regenerates the resin when required. This uses salt or potassium and a drain connection.

The cycle continues.

Correct sizing, settings, and regular care help the system keep up with your household’s water use.

Still wondering about your water?

Ask Paramount →

Is a softener the same as a water filter?

No. Softening targets hardness minerals. Filtration targets substances according to the filter media and documented claims. The featured Defender iGen C combines these functions.

Does a softener use salt?

Conventional ion-exchange systems use salt or potassium chloride during regeneration. Discuss refill needs, operating requirements, and your household preferences with Paramount.

What if sodium is a concern?

Sodium-based softening adds sodium in proportion to the hardness removed. Discuss your preferences with Paramount and any dietary questions with a qualified health professional. A separate drinking-water treatment setup may be worth discussing.

How do you choose the right size?

Sizing should consider measured hardness, household water use, peak flow, and available space. A product name alone is not enough to choose the appropriate capacity.
