Looking for water softener in Cebu?

Ever notice that your shower head clogs up, your hair feels like dry and hard to comb, or your brand-new glassware already has white stains inside? Welcome to the club — hard water is common all over Cebu.

But the good news? Fixing it is easier than you think.

What “Hard Water” Really Means

Hard water is simply water with extra minerals (mostly calcium and magnesium). Those minerals:

• Stick to bathroom fixtures, forming rock-like scale

• Stick to clothes, making them lose their color

• Leave chalky spots on glasses and tiles

• Leave skin feeling dry, and hair feeling sticky (as if you have natural wax stuck to your hair)

If you’re dealing with any of that, a water softener can help.

How a Water Softener Solves the Problem

Think of a softener as a mineral magnet. Water flows through a tank of special beads that grab the hard minerals and swap them for a tiny bit of salt. The result is smooth, scale-free water that feels great on skin and helps appliances last longer.

More Technical Explanation:

A salt-based ion-exchange softener swaps calcium & magnesium ions for harmless sodium ions. Result: zero scale, silky water, longer appliance life. 

Other options like magnetic “conditioners,” —exist, but if you need guaranteed <10 mg/L hardness, ion-exchange is the gold standard.

Signs You Need One

• White spots on dishes or shower glass

• Itchy skin or dull hair after bathing

• Soap that never seems to lather or rinse off

• Heaters, washing machines, or coffee makers having white stains

• Clogging of shower heads, and faucets
  
  
  

Picking the Right Size (No Math Needed)

• On-Point Use → Small unit (bathroom or kitchen only) 

• 1–2 people → Type III or Type V

• 3–5 people → Type II , Type I , Type IV

• B ig family or small business → Multiple Type I, II or IV

Not sure? We size it for you—just tell us how many people live with you and how strong your water pressure is.

Picking the Right Size (Math Needed)

1. Measure hardness – free strip test (ask us, we’ll courier).

2. Daily water use – average Cebu home = 250 L × # occupants.

3. Grain Capacity Needed = hardness (ppm) × water use (L) ÷ 17.1

4. Pick a softener whose resin capacity ≥ that number, so you regenerate every 7–10 days.

Example: 4-person family, 120 ppm hardness ➜ 120 × 1 000 ÷ 17.1 ≈ 7 000 grains/day ➜ choose an 80 000-grain softener.

Running Costs

Total OPEX for a Cebu household usually sits at ₱150 – ₱220 per month—far less than the money you burn on scaled-up heaters and bottled drinking water.

DIY vs. Calling the Pros

You can install a small unit yourself if you’re handy with basic plumbing. But if you’d rather skip the mess, our Cebu-based team can:

1. Test your water for free

2. Recommend the right softener

3. Install it in a single visit—no drilling through guesswork

Quick Q&A

Will the water taste salty?
No. Sodium increase is around 10 mg/L—less than a sip of sports drink.

Do I need a filter too?
If your water smells or tastes funny, pairing the softener with a carbon filter makes sense.

How soon will I feel the difference?
Right away—showers feel silkier, and your appliances stay clean.

Can I drink soft water?
No, you cannot drink soft water. You need a water purifier for that.
