A Permutit Water Softener 
is connected into your pipe 
line in the basement, and 
automatically abstracts all 
hardness from the water as 
it flows through on its way 
to the faucets. 
The Biggest Household 
Improvement Since Electricity 
A Machine That Malles Hard Water—Soft 
No longer is it necessary to use powders, special soap or tainted 
rain water to overcome the everpresent annoyance of hard water 
in your home, for no matter how hard your present supply a 
Permutit Water Softener will turn it softer than rain. 
Without the use of chemicals, without any extra pumps or 
motors, a Permutit Softener will deliver a clear drinkable supply 
of delightful soft water from every faucet in your house. The 
softener is simply connected into your pipe line in the basement 
or other convenient spot; your regular water supply flows through 
it on the way to the faucets, and the wonderful Permutit material 
automatically abstracts every grain of hardness, leaving it clear 
and delightful for every purpose. 
Once every week or ten days you put a fixed amount of com¬ 
mon cooking salt in the softener. This regenerates the Permutit 
material by driving out its accumulated hardness, and that is the 
only operating expense. A few cents a day is all it costs, and the 
machine should last a lifetime. Thousands are in use.
