Hard water is a common problem in the Philippines, especially in provinces. It is due to excessive calcium and magnesium in the water. Effects of hard water include hard-to-remove soap during shower, white marks in your dishes, fixtures, or after a carwash, soap not lathering during dishwashing or laundry washing, as well as pipes and appliances getting clogged due to hardened minerals.

Water softeners solve this problem, providing soft water better for bathing, dishwasing, and laundry.
