| Control System | Power‑outage safe, intuitive programming | Prone to reset errors and malfunctions |
| Maintenance | Self‑cleaning, no manual servicing | Frequent clogging or resin deterioration |
| Overflow Protection | Safety float valve built‑in | Often missing or unreliable |

Glassware Spotting Test — With vs. Without a Water Softener
Quick side‑by‑side demo comparing untreated hard water to softened water on glassware.
Without a softener: spots and calcium hardness build up, clouding your dishes and making cleanup harder.
With a softener: the glass stays clear with no calcium deposits, helping prevent ongoing erosion of the surface.
