Should I Need A Water Softener If I Have City Water?
The town I live in has a water treatment plant but the house we bought years ago had a water softener. It just died so I went to get a new one, but the guy at the store said if I have city water I really don’t need one.

Depends completely on the softness or hardness of the water
Plummers can test your water for hardness.
I live in a city with very hard water.
without the softener, I get hard water spots on my dishes and have to use more soap when I was clothes and when I was my hair.
It also is very hard on PIPES when your water is hard..it leaves deposits on the shower door too…

It totally depends on whether your city water is hard or soft…or how hard. Ask people who live near you. Hard water is good for coffee and drinking but bad for hair, clothes and dishes. I’m surprised the guy at the store talked you out of buying something there!

You can buy a special test strips to test the water hardness in any pharmacy. It’s not expensive, pretty simple and easy.

I live in a community where there too is a water treatment plant, And my parents actually were advised to have a water softner intalled, By a friend who owns a plumbing buisness. It’s fantastic for washing clothes, Dishes, And of course for bathing. There is no comparison, No matter what municipally treated water has to offer, A personal water softner is the high end solution to all your washing needs.

I don’t know what city you live in. What say you analyze a sample of the water. There are simple things you can do at home with common household items to get a qualitative assessment of whether the water is significantly hard.

The guy at the store is correct, you don’t need a water softener, you should thank that guy for his advice he just save you a lot of money; and he’s not even you’re accountant. Water softener equipment are for fancy people who think they stay or look younger if they take a shower with it. If you ask a public figure if they have one; the answer is NO because they already have their own plastic surgeon. hope this help and save the money for your kids.

You probably won’t need one. Take a water sample to a retailer and have it checked. There should be no charge for this.
