In every household, water plays a very crucial role. Because we use this water for drinking, cooking food, bathing and cleaning. And in these daily activities, water quality matters the most. For once, we have RO and water purifiers for drinking water. It’s another debate that RO water is not so beneficial for our health.
We’ve arrangements for drinking water but what about the other? Let’s be honest: every second person is facing hair fall, and every second house is witnessing lime scale buildup on taps, buckets, wash basins and bathrooms. Am I right? Or why do our geysers need repairing every winter? For once, we can ignore this because it’s a yearly cost what about the washing machines? They are like a headache to repair every 3rd month.
But don’t worry—there’s a solution! A water softener for tank can transform hard water into soft water for every need.

1. Why Are People Facing Hard Water Problems at Home?
Areas dependent on borewells, rivers, or untreated municipal water are most affected. They contain minerals like Calcium and Magnesium. Some areas where untreated water is the only option, suffer the most.
Hard water is common issue in India. The hard water minerals leave stains, clog pipes, and damage appliances like geysers and washing machines.
2. How Can We Tell If Our Home Has Hard Water?
Notice these signs-
- White stains on taps, tiles, and wash basins.
- Clothes feel stiff or fade after washing.
- Soap or shampoo does not form a good lather.
- Dry skin and hair fall problems after bathing.
- Appliances like geysers and washing machines need frequent repairs.
3. Can RO Solve the Hard Water Problem?
People think an RO or water purifier system is the solution, but this is a misconception. RO systems are designed to purify drinking water by removing impurities. However, they:
- Only soften water for drinking, not for the whole house.
- Remove both bad and good minerals, which may not always be necessary.
To solve the whole house water problem, you need a water softener for tank.
4. Then How Can We Treat Water for the Whole House?
To remove hard water in the entire house, you need a water softener for your tank. Water softeners treat all the water stored in your home tank. You can use this for drinking, bathing, washing clothes, cooking, and more, without causing stains or damage to appliances.
5. How Is a Water Softener Different from an RO System?
The main difference is in their purpose and capacity:
- Water Softener: Treats hard water by removing hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. It’s perfect for household needs, including washing and bathing.
- RO System: Purifies drinking water by removing impurities. However, it’s limited to drinking and cooking purposes only.
6. What Types of Water Softeners Are Available for Home Tanks?
There are various types of water softeners in the market, but for Indian homes, two are proven to be 100% efficient:
- E-Soft Domestic Water Softener for Tank (Low Duty)
Ideal for single homes, these softeners are affordable and easy to maintain. - E-Soft Heavy-Duty Water Softener for borewells (Heavy Duty)
Designed for societies, flats, or large families, these units handle a larger water volume and are perfect for borewell water supply.
7. How to Install Water Softener on the Home Tank? (Add image of properly installed machine for reference)
- Place Teflon tape on both sides of the machine and hold it tightly from both ends to tighten it.
- While tightening, don’t hold it from the middle, because there is a coil in the middle, and holding it there might break it.
- Once it is tightened, rotate it slowly and gently. Do not twist it suddenly or with a jerk, as this can cause the FT to break.
- Apply the solution both on the pipe and inside the FT, and then fit the coil properly.
- After setting it this way, hold it tightly in place and allow it to dry completely. This will ensure that there is no chance of leakage.
