Do you need a water softener in Hawaii?

WHOLE HOME FILTRATION

Hard water poses significant challenges to your household appliances, skin, hair, and overall well-being. Installing a whole-home water softener is more than just a luxury; it’s a necessity for Hawaii residents seeking a healthier and more efficient lifestyle. In some areas of Oahu, such as Ewa Beach, the water tests at over 220 ppm in hardness.

The Hard Water Dilemma in Hawaii

Hawaii’s municipal water supply contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, contributing to water hardness. While these minerals aren’t harmful to your health, they can wreak havoc on your plumbing and appliances over time.

  • Impacts of Hard Water: Hard water leaves scale deposits, clogs pipes, and shortens the lifespan of water-reliant appliances such as water heaters, clothes washers and dishwashers.

  • Skin and Hair Challenges: Bathing in hard water can result in dry, itchy skin and frisky hair.

Advantages of Whole Home Water Softeners

Investing in a whole-home water softener in Hawaii can offer many instant benefits:

  • Enhanced Skin and Hair Health: Softened water is gentler on your skin and hair, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized after each shower.

  • Appliance Preservation: A water softener safeguards your appliances by preventing scale buildup and mineral-related damage, prolonging their longevity.
  • Energy Efficiency: Softened water enhances the efficiency of water heaters, reducing energy consumption and cutting utility costs.

  • Superior Cleaning: Soaps and detergents work more effectively in soft water, resulting in cleaner dishes, softer laundry, and reduced soap scum in your bathroom.

    I love using the services of Pono Revival because their service is the best & their water is the best!! I’ve used the local neighborhood pick up and drop off system for over a year and I love how convenient that is. The employees are super helpful and even though I’ve moved from the neighborhood I’m still coming to get my water tanks refilled. If you know about water purity then you will know this is the best situation for our bodies. Mahalo!

    Pono Revival has consistently impressed me with their water supply and delivery services. The quality of their ionized, high-alkaline water is excellent, and I’ve noticed a distinct difference. Their delivery service is reliable and efficient, and the owners Ken and Danelle are friendly and responsive. I highly recommend Pono Revival to anyone seeking a dependable source of high-quality water.

    I’m so happy I found this small local family business. In desperation to find a new water delivery company (because my old one kept missing their scheduled delivery dates and kept charging me for non-deliveries), I was excited to find Pono Revival right here in my neighborhood of Hoopili. I no longer need to wait and hope that I get my deliveries on time because the night before I need more water, all I need to do is text Pono Revival. Then they’ll come by in the morning and deliver my order that same afternoon/early evening. There were also times that I forgot to text them but they are so convenient that I can swing by and they will fill it up for me right there or I can just drop it off to them and they’ll deliver it when they do their deliveries that afternoon. The owners are extremely friendly and addresses us by our first names. No more having to drive to an industrial area 20 minutes away and struggle to find parking and walking up stairs to have to talk to unhappy, non-smiling employees that barely give you a smile and no more having to wait sometimes 30+ minutes on hold for thr next available customer service rep! Thank you Pono Revival!Not only is their service great, their products are amazing too! My husband would get a lot of muscle cramps in his hamstrings. Coincidentally, once we changed our water to Pono Revival, the random cramps stopped! Then for a few days, we drank regular water and he ended up getting one of his cramps again. We went back to drinking Pono Revival again and he hasn’t gotten it since. I’m not saying that it is 100% because of the water but it’s hard for me to say that it might not be because it’s too much of a coincidence that his cramps only occur when he stopped drinking alkaline water. Even my two young children would rather drink their water than juice! We even have their shower filter that lasts for a whole 2 years. I’ve had it for 16 months now and you can see the build up in the filter so it’s satisfying to know that it’s working. It even made the shower water taste better.They have weekday specials if you go in to pay for your water. I normally go on Tuesdays or Thursdays to get an extra 10% off. The other days are discounts on their water containers (they also sell glass containers if you’re not a plastic person), discounts on their supplements, and I don’t remember the other one. They now have a buy 6 get 1 free and a point system when you punch in your phone number to earn perks!Thank you again Pono Revival! We are so happy to be one of your many loyal and extremely satisfied customers for many more years.

    We just purchased a Pono Revival Under the Sink System and two shower filters. We wanted to be able to enjoy healthy water with a smooth and crisp taste. I’ve never liked the taste of tap water and bottled water, including alkaline water is not cost-effective. We were also concerned about the consumption of PFAS. We did our homework and surprisingly hadn’t found many local companies offering Reverse Osmosis Alkaline Under the Sink Systems, especially with good and recent reviews. Pono Revival had great reviews so we decided to give them a try. Danelle and Ken were very responsive, were available for questions and concerns, found us the best plumber for the installation and followed up with us afterwards. They also stated they would send us reminders for filter maintenance. The installation was quick, reasonably priced and the plumber was very knowledgable about the system. Feels great to be drinking healthy and great tasting water. Am also hoping the shower filters will help with my dry, itchy skin. We are glad we finally made the move to invest in our health.

    As a healthcare provider, I understand the importance of staying hydrated. We’ve used various professional filtration systems, including others with reverse osmosis and minerals. Of all the options we’ve tried, Pono Revival’s quality and taste blows everything else out of the water. If you’re looking for a safe, clean, tasty source of local water, Pono Revival is an excellent choice.

    We are so grateful to have come across Pono Revival. Having clean and filtered drinking water was at the top of our list after moving into our new home. After utilizing their water refill service for a couple of months, we purchased the under-sink filtration system for unlimited access to Pono Revival’s delicious water. The process was a breeze – they had a plumber install the filtration system and drill a hole into our counter (we opted for a separate spigot). We have been very happy with our drinking water ever since.The owners and store staff are extremely kind. Love being able to support a local business while taking care of my family’s health at the same time. Thank you, Pono Revival!

    Pono Revival is by far the best water supplier and best tasting water in Oahu. They even have products that are beautiful gifts for my wife and loved ones. I highly suggest getting the BluebottleLove. Mahalo Pono Revival water company for being near my Ho’opili neighborhood and the Element Apartments.

    Absolutely incredible product, installation and customer service! After conducting extensive research on Oahu, I am so grateful to have found Pono Revival! Our family needed an extensive water filtration system for our entire home. The owner of Pono Revival was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable and patient as he walked me through each step and answered so many of my questions through the process. We have been using Pono Revival’s system for over 5 months and are extremely satisfied. Our family highly recommends this company!

    I purchased a Pono Revival under the sink system as well as a shower filter in October. It’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my overall health and wellness!The quality and taste of the water was immediately noticeable. I find myself drinking (and enjoying!) more water, and having peace of mind that the water I’m drinking and cooking with is pure and clean.An unexpected benefit was finding my hair and skin feeling much softer and less dry. All without changing any products!Ken provided exceptional customer service – from scheduling the installation, explaining how the products worked and patiently answering my questions.I wholeheartedly recommend Pono Revival! Mahalo, Ken!

    Being an alternative wellness practitioner and beauty professional, I firmly believe in whole self care. I could see improvement in my health both internally and externally using the shower filter and drinking the purified water from Pono Revival. Water is important, but where and how it’s sourced is just as important. Thank you for my water!

    Aloha,Tired from buying and re-filling water from the store?I was tried from carrying 24 pack water bottles to my 2nd floor for a family of 5 that went through multiple packs a week. In Hawaii, we have bottle recycling fees and prices of water can be expensive depending on convenience. Faucet water can be hazardous depending on where you live on the island. I knew I needed a better alternative for drinking water. After hearing about Pono Revival and Alkaline & Mineralized water, I was introduced into the best drinking water that can be readily available from home.I purchased the 12 Stage Pono Revival home water filtration system from Ken (owner). He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He was willing to explain the water filtration process and benefits of alkaline water. Since our investment, the Pono Revival home drinking water filtration system has worked great for our family with no issues since we bought it 5 months ago. The system has top quality parts which are made in the USA except for the tank. We moved recently and Ken kindly provided technical support for moving the filtration system.They offer water refill stations and home water filtration systems. Additionally, Ken has quality products like their water bottles (keeps water cold/hot) way longer than Walmart brands. They also offer shower head water filtration systems. I also purchased this to prevent skin breakout and eczema for because of sensitive skin. I have since purchased 3 more water bottles for family members.You can taste the difference when comparing to non-alkaline/mineralized water. I use the water to make tea and can taste the difference. My family and friends tried the difference between store bought brands of water and Pono Revival Alkaline water and they have agreed that Pono Revival water is better. If you are ready to save time, have convenient access to high quality drinking water, you should give Pono Revival water a try!

    They have my strongest recommendation for all the products they have. We are in a water crisis in HI right now. Their system helped by 1000% especially within the household. Lets just say the taste is AMAZING! The filtertrations systems will get rid of everything. We used the Shower filter and it even got rid of petroleum/chlorine smell the entire time the crisis is happening (The H2O test with the shower did not find anything deadly so this is based off my useage conclusion). So without further ado, their filtration system will help protect those in your household and the taste in the water will keep you feeling healthier by the day. CALL, TRY AND GET IT!From a Active military customer!

    Before Pono Revival, I remember drinking just “regular filtered water” like everybody else, never really thinking about it but one day I met Ken (the owner). He was very knowledgeable in how water is filtered and how it can be acidic, chemically treated, inadequately purified, or bottled in plastic for years. After he made me aware of these things, I started thinking about how this whole time I’ve been putting these things in my body. Being a martial artist and an active runner, water is always by my side and is really the only thing I drink besides coffee.After learning that high alkaline, ionized, and hydrogen-rich water is better for my health I decided to invest in one of their under-the-counter systems. The water tastes great (even better when it’s cold) and it doesn’t have that tap water taste whats soever. Through their 12 step purification stages, my drinking water is filled with the things I need to keep me healthy, energized, and ready for my training. The shipping was fast (HI to CA) and it arrived within the same week, I also picked up a cool water bottle and invested in a showerhead system. It’s nice knowing that the water I wash myself with is cleaner than the tap water I’ve been showering in for years. After all, the skin is the largest organ and it absorbs some of the water you bathe in, might as well have it absorb something cleaner.Overall my family and I are very happy with the knowledge, the systems and the water Pono Revival has provided us with. Great tasting water right here at home.

    It’s been about a year since we invested in their shower/water filter & I highly recommend their products. A family member who had eczema used it & found themselves itching less.Great local company located in Ewa Beach, Hoopili. They even gave us a detailed & thorough presentation of how their water system works. Two thumbs up!!
