Water softeners (ion exchange) and conditioners reduce or alter hardness minerals to limit scale.

What it does not solve

How this database works

Analysis first. Commerce second.

PurityMap checks each exact product against its evidence register: a target counts only when a current certification record covers it. Technology, capacity and limitations come from the product record. Retailer offers are attached afterwards and do not change which products qualify for a water finding.
