FAQs

What homes are ideal for water softener installations?

Water softeners are beneficial for a wide range of homes. A water softener can be highly advantageous if you live in an area with hard water, where minerals like calcium and magnesium are prevalent. Homes with visible signs of hard water, such as scale buildup on fixtures, spotty dishes, or dry skin and hair, can benefit from installation. Additionally, households with appliances like dishwashers, washing machines, or water heaters can prolong their lifespan by minimizing mineral deposits.

What does a water softener remove?

A water softener removes minerals like calcium and magnesium from the water supply. These minerals cause “hard water,” resulting in various issues. Water softeners replace calcium and magnesium with sodium or potassium, effectively softening the water and removing scale buildup on fixtures, reducing soap scum in showers and sinks, preventing the formation of limescale in appliances, and improving the efficiency and lifespan of water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines.

What are the effects of hard water?

The high mineral content in hard water can cause scale buildup in pipes, faucets, and appliances. This reduces water flow, clogs plumbing, and decreases the efficiency and lifespan of water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines. Hard water can lead to soap scum and residue on surfaces, leaving streaks on glassware, dishes, and fixtures. It also makes it harder to achieve a good lather when washing hands or hair, making them feel dry and dull. Hard water can also contribute to skin irritations, eczema, and dryness.
