Why Hard Water is Harmful for You?
Hard water is water that contains a lot of minerals such as calcium. Some water systems that draw their water from the ground gets too much minerals from the surrounding rocks and damage plumbing fixtures and drainage pipes. Installing a water softener is the best way to soften water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Hard water contains minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can lead to scale buildup in pipes, appliances, and fixtures. This buildup can cause clogs, reduce water flow, and decrease the efficiency of water heaters and appliances.
A water softener uses a process called ion exchange to remove calcium and magnesium ions from the water, replacing them with sodium ions. This results in softened water that is gentler on your skin, clothes, and appliances.
- Installing a water softener can provide numerous benefits, including:
- Silky-soft, healthier skin
- Brighter and softer clothes
- Elimination of water spots on shower stalls and glass surfaces
- Shiny and manageable hair
- Savings on soap and detergent
- Spot-free dishes with less soap usage
- Reduction in scale buildup in pipes and appliances
- Extended lifespan of water heaters, dishwashers, faucets, and pipes
Signs of hard water include soap scum buildup, mineral deposits on faucets and fixtures, dry or itchy skin after showering, dull and stiff laundry, and reduced water flow in appliances. If you're experiencing any of these issues, a water softener may be beneficial for your home.
While a water softener primarily targets calcium and magnesium ions, it may not remove all minerals from the water. However, it will significantly reduce the hardness of the water, leading to noticeable improvements in water quality.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure optimal performance of your water softener. This includes refilling the salt reservoir, cleaning the brine tank, and periodically checking for leaks or malfunctions. Our team can provide guidance on proper maintenance procedures.
While some homeowners may choose to install a water softener themselves, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper setup and functionality. Our experienced plumbers can assess your home's plumbing system and install the water softener efficiently and correctly.
With proper maintenance and care, a water softener can last 10 to 15 years or more. Regular servicing and replacement of components as needed can help prolong the lifespan of your water softener.
Softened water is safe for most household uses, including bathing, cleaning, and laundry. However, some people may prefer to have a separate drinking water system or use a bypass valve to bypass the water softener for drinking water.
