Water Softeners
A water softener can be a valuable addition to your home if you have hard water, which is water with a high concentration of minerals like calcium and magnesium. These minerals aren't harmful to health, but they can cause various issues over time. Here’s why a water softener might benefit you:
Reduced Scale Buildup: Hard water minerals can form a hard, chalky buildup (scale) inside your pipes, faucets, appliances, and on fixtures like showerheads. Scale buildup can clog pipes, reduce water pressure, and reduce the lifespan and efficiency of water-using appliances like water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines.
Cleaner, Softer Laundry: Hard water can leave mineral residues in fabrics, making clothes feel stiff and causing colors to fade more quickly. A water softener helps prevent this, leaving clothes and linens feeling softer and looking brighter.
Softer Skin and Hair: Hard water can be harsh on your skin and hair, making them feel dry or brittle. The minerals in hard water can also react with soap, leaving behind a film that can irritate sensitive skin. Softened water allows soap and shampoo to lather and rinse more effectively, leading to softer skin and hair.
Lower Soap and Detergent Usage: Hard water reacts with soap to form soap scum, meaning you’ll need to use more soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, and dishwashing detergent to get things clean. Softened water improves cleaning efficiency, so you use less soap and get better results.
Energy Savings: When scale builds up in appliances and pipes, they use more energy to function. For example, scale inside a water heater reduces heat transfer efficiency, which increases energy use. By preventing scale, a water softener can lower your energy bills over time.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues and know your water has high mineral content, a water softener could improve water quality, protect your plumbing, reduce cleaning needs, and extend the life of appliances. Call Louderback Plumbing today (937) 376-1201.
