Water Softener Installation in Amarillo and Nearby Areas.

The water supply in Amarillo and surrounding areas is often hard, so many homeowners opt for a water softener treatment system. Hard water can usually contain high levels of minerals such as calcium and magnesium, leading to many problems. Because so many areas have hard water, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Amarillo is fully trained and capable of detecting hard water in your plumbing system and explaining your options for water softener treatments.

How do I Know if I Have Hard Water?

Many people find their dishes continually have spots on them, regardless of whether they are being washed by hand or in the dishwasher. Poor water pressure is another sign of hard water due to the mineral deposits in the plumbing system. Due to the mineral deposits, hard water can affect the longevity of your appliances. What many residents of Amarillo find the most annoying, however, is that hard water cannot lather very well with soap, so it could feel as though you have a sticky soap residue on your skin after a bath or shower. Hard water can also irritate dry skin and hair, making it rough and prone to breakage. Many customers we have worked with do not realize that this is because of the hardness of their water, which is so easily repaired with a water softener.

How do Water Softeners Work?

Water softeners use ion exchange to alleviate or lessen the concentration of the minerals and such from your water supply. Once your water softener begins to work, it will be more suitable for household tasks like washing dishes, doing laundry, and bathing. There are different types of water softeners, but they all operate in relatively the same manner. Hard water enters a tank from your plumbing’s water supply. The positively charged hard water goes through an ion exchange where they are attracted to and attach themselves to negatively charged resin beads, and then the softened water flows through into your home for your cleaning, drinking, or bathing purposes.

Benefits of Using a Water Softener

• Longer Lifespan of Appliances: Your water heater, dishwasher, washing machine, and coffee pot will last longer and operate more efficiently without mineral deposits from hard water.
• A Cleaner Home: Hard water necessitates more cleaning products and still leaves a film or doesn’t clean as well as soft water. Therefore, everything from your dishes to your bathtub will appear cleaner than with hard water.
• Lower Plumbing Costs: Preventing problematic mineral buildup in your plumbing system will save you on repair and maintenance costs.
• Healthier Hair and Skin: The minerals in hard water can be tough on your skin and hair. When you soften the water in your home, you will notice your hair and skin become healthier.
