Including filter system and high-performance Magnesium filter.
Magnesium is a naturally occurring mineral that can enter household water when it dissolves from local rock and soil. In modest amounts it’s normal, but higher concentrations change how water behaves around the house. Bascom homeowners often notice the effects indirectly—water that seems hard, cloudy spots on fixtures, or soap that won’t lather well. Because magnesium frequently shows up with calcium, testing is the only way to know which mineral is the main culprit.
You won’t always detect unhealthy magnesium by taste or smell; its effects usually show up in everyday use rather than in a glass. Water with more dissolved minerals can promote scale buildup inside water heaters, pipes, and appliances over time. It also tends to leave stubborn residue on dishes, shower doors, and faucets that’s hard to remove. A simple water test in Bascom will reveal whether magnesium is a significant part of your home’s hardness profile.
The most effective single-filter solution at the point of entry is a whole-house water softener using ion exchange. These systems reduce hardness minerals like magnesium by exchanging them for sodium or potassium ions as water flows through the resin. The outcome is more balanced water that rinses better and helps prevent mineral scale where it begins—before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances—so every tap in your Bascom home benefits.
Choosing the right ion exchange softener depends on your water’s hardness, household size, and usage patterns and is installed so all Bascom taps receive treated water. The resin is regenerated on a cycle to maintain magnesium removal, avoiding the decline some media-only filters experience. If your priority is lowering magnesium rather than treating taste or odor, this targeted whole-house approach is usually the best match; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and size a system for dependable magnesium reduction.
