WATER
SOFTENERS
• Here’s a good-looking com
pact, water softener that is
fully automatic - you just
add the salt!
• It helps you save on soap
and cleaning material as well
as plumbing maintenance.
Why it will make your water
heater last longer!
• Made of non-corrosive ma
terials - fiber glass and
thermo plastic. And they are
made in Lancaster. Parts
and service never a problem!
