Know the Facts About Your Water and How to Treat it
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS)*, 89.3% of US homes have hard water. That makes hard water the single most widespread water problem in American homes today. To check the approximate level of hardness in your area, see the map below.
In addition to water hardness, consumers are also growing more and more concerned about the purity and safety of their drinking water. Escalating media reports of contamination or abnormal levels of impurities are causing some consumers to invest in home drinking water filtration systems such as the Rayne EVOLUTION with LINX Technology.
Since 1928, Rayne has been developing and improving water treatment systems and products such as Water Softeners, Water Conditioners, Reverse Osmosis Home Filtration Systems, and Drinking Water Filters. These home water treatment systems are of superior quality, provide substantial value and savings, and are the most environmentally-friendly products in the industry.
* The USGS is responsible for collecting data on water quality and water supply throughout the nation.

Water Softeners: Fact vs. Fiction
There is great confusion in the marketplace about the differences between water softeners and water conditioners. Water Softeners will produce Soft Water. Water Conditioners will produce Conditioned Water.
What does Conditioned Water really mean?
The catchall term "conditioned water" as defined by the WQA* is, "Any water which has been treated by one or more processes to improve the water's usefulness and/or aesthetic quality by reducing undesirable substances or undesirable conditions."
So Conditioned Water can be Soft Water, but not ALL Water Conditioners are able to Soften Water.

"Generally Safe" Means Danger is Present
An online article presented by Mother Nature Network reveals that U.S. drinking water is admittedly only ”generally-safe”. While measurable improvements have been made by the national government and the Environmental Protection Agency, hands-on oversight has proven to improve amounts, but not eliminate the contaminates found in our drinking water. In fact, according to the data offered by a MNN graphic, 13% of Arizona’s community water systems have reported health violations and 24% of the state’s population is served by contaminated water systems. In California, 10% have health violations and 2% is served by water systems with some contamination. For those same categories, Nevada hits 17% and 5%, Utah reports 10% and 5%, and New Mexico has 16% and 14%. What about America overall? Every single state in this country besides the District of Colombia has its’ people drinking contaminated water!.
Contaminants can get into groundwater and drinking water in numerous ways. Filtering plants leave some particles behind, naturally occurring elements release into groundwater, and surface-water systems allow for more contact with outside pollutants. The 2009 EPA report (as found in the MNN article) quotes ”disease outbreaks and water restrictions during droughts have demonstrated that we can no longer take our drinking water for granted.”
