I changed out both elements in my electrc water back in late August. Had to change the bottom one out again today.
Isn’t that exactly what a water heater does?
Chicken fried water heater?
no a water heater heats the water.
a watersoftener removes dissolved minerals from water
This one definitely did both.
Right but a water heater isn’t designed to remove minerals from water. Just to heat it.
You are technically right that the water heater softens the water a bit by precipitating the minerals around the heating element and thereby removing them from the water. But that is energy inefficient and expensive, since you normally don’t use a water heater to soften your water but rather to get warm water. So putting another system in front of the heater that softens it first is better than replacing the heat element every so often.
A water heater heats your water.
