Including filter system and high-performance Magnesium filter.
Magnesium is a common mineral that can dissolve from rock and soil into household water. In small amounts it’s normal, but when levels rise it can change how your water behaves around the house. Pace homeowners often recognize the effects as hard-feeling water, persistent spots on faucets and fixtures, or soap that won’t lather well. Because magnesium frequently occurs with calcium, the real cause can be missed without testing.
Higher concentrations of magnesium aren’t always detectable by taste or smell, and you’re more likely to notice them in everyday chores than in a drinking glass. Mineral-rich water can promote scale buildup inside water heaters, pipes, and appliances over time, and it can leave stubborn residue on dishes, shower doors, and sinks. A simple water test is the best way for Pace residents to determine whether magnesium is a significant part of their 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. Installed at the main line, an ion exchange softener treats water before it reaches showers, sinks, and appliances, helping prevent scale and improving rinse performance throughout your Pace home.
Sizing an ion exchange softener depends on your water hardness, household size, and daily water use, then it’s placed so every tap benefits. The resin is kept effective through periodic regeneration, maintaining magnesium removal over time rather than letting performance drop like many media-only options. If lowering magnesium is your primary goal rather than adjusting taste or odor, this targeted whole-house approach is usually the right choice — and Mr. Pure Water can test your water and recommend the best system for Pace homes.
