Including filter system and high-performance Magnesium filter.
Magnesium is a common mineral that can leach into household water as it moves through rock and soil. In modest amounts it’s normal, but when it increases it changes how water behaves around the house. Betts homeowners often notice this as hard-feeling water, spots on fixtures, or soap that doesn’t lather well. Because magnesium frequently occurs together with calcium, a proper test is the only way to know which mineral is causing your issues.
Higher concentrations of magnesium may not alter taste or smell, yet their effects show up in everyday use more than in a drinking glass. Mineral-rich water can promote scale buildup inside water heaters, pipes, and appliances over time, and it will leave stubborn residue on dishes, shower doors, and faucets. If you live in Betts and suspect hard water, a simple water analysis will reveal whether magnesium is a meaningful part of your hardness profile.
To reduce magnesium reliably at the point of entry, the best single-filter option is a whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange. These systems remove hardness minerals like magnesium by exchanging them for sodium or potassium ions in the resin bed as water flows through. Installed for Betts homes at the main water supply, an ion exchange softener prevents scale before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances, delivering more consistent performance at every tap.
Sizing an ion exchange softener for a Betts residence depends on your water hardness, household size, and daily use, and it’s installed so all fixtures benefit. The resin is periodically regenerated to keep magnesium removal effective, avoiding the performance drop seen with some media-only filters. If your priority is lowering magnesium specifically, this targeted whole-house approach is typically the best match—Mr. Pure Water can test your water and recommend the right system for dependable results.
