Frequently Asked Questions
Hard water can lead to a bevy of problems over time, including spotty dishes and glassware, dry skin and hair, soap scum, and scale buildup, which can damage plumbing, water fixtures and water-using appliances like dishwashers, water heaters, etc. These issues can also increase energy costs and additional costs for specialty cleaning products, detergents and fabric softeners.
North Star water softeners are more efficient than options from competitors, leveraging patented AI technology that tracks usage to minimize unnecessary regeneration, saving you salt, water and unnecessary energy usage.
North Star water solutions are also designed, manufactured and assembled in the USA. Since we manufacture 95 percent of all components in our systems, we maintain strict control over the quality of our finished products.
This varies, primarily based on how hard your water is. In most cases, you can expect a North Star water softener to operate at peak efficiency for 10-12 years if properly maintained.
Measurements are done using grains per gallon (gpg). 0-3 gpg is soft water, 3.5 to 7 gpg is considered moderate, greater than 7 is hard water that should be treated. Once water exceeds 11 gpg, it’s considered very hard and 15-plus is extremely hard.
