A softener exchanges the calcium and magnesium that cause limescale, which protects your pipes and appliances, but it does not remove chlorine, PFAS or other dissolved contaminants, and it is not intended to improve drinking water. The RO system does that, at the kitchen tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 4px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #0b2a3b;\"\u003eWhy choose the Alpha over your other RO systems?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 16px; color: #42555f;\"\u003eLow maintenance. Its membrane is rated for three years and beyond, where most domestic systems need one every two, which keeps the long-term running cost down.
