Water Softener System Installation

As groundwater flows through rocks such as limestone, it can pick up calcium, magnesium, and other minerals. Water hardness varies throughout the country. It’s measured in grains or parts per million (ppm). Based on recommendations by the Water Quality Association, homeowners should install a water softener if hardness levels are at 10 grains or 171 ppm or higher

If you have hard water in your home, it can cause a range of issues, including:

• Limescale: A buildup of limescale can clog pipes or reduce water pressure. It can also damage water-using appliances such as dishwashers and clothes washers. Mineral scale is typically crusty and a whitish color; it’s often difficult to remove.
• Less effective soap: The calcium and magnesium ions in hard water prevent soap from lathering. Instead, it becomes soap scum that sticks to shower walls, clothes, and your skin. You may find yourself using more soap to get your hands clean.
• Rust: Hard water can lead to rust stains on sinks, tubs, and toilets. It can also stain porcelain. It's often difficult to clean mineral stains with common household products, leaving many homeowners with permanently stained fixtures.

Installing a water softener in your home can have many advantages. As hard water minerals accumulate in the tank (which are flushed as the system regenerates) and are exchanged with sodium ions, your water supply becomes purer, which can provide the following benefits:

• Better skin: Hard water can lead to dry skin and worsen conditions such as eczema. Soap scum can also be irritating. Therefore, soft water can help alleviate certain conditions and lead to healthier skin.
• Higher-quality water: A water softener can improve water quality, which has benefits ranging from better-tasting foods and drinks to more effective showers. It can also take less time to clean dirt from surfaces in your house.
• Increased appliance lifespan: Hard water minerals can build up and cause blockages in appliances, causing them to malfunction and fail sooner than expected. A water softener system can increase the lifespan of appliances and avoid early replacements.
• Cleaner clothes: Minerals can build up and cause stains on clothing, which can also wear out faster. By softening the water in your home, you can have softer clothes that are less likely to become dull, discolored, and weathered. You’ll also have cleaner dishes and kitchenware.
