Water Softener Installation Benefits

Installing a water softener in your home provides some major benefits. In addition to commonly expected benefits like better drinking water, it can also boost your plumbing system’s efficiency!

Some of the most notable benefits of water softeners include:

• Reduced clog risk: Hard water is “hard” because of the minerals it carries. Over time, these minerals can solidify inside your pipes. They lead to extremely stubborn clogs that require professional plumbing methods like drain jetting. Removing these minerals from your water greatly reduces the risk of this clog type.
• Better baths and showers: Hard water isn’t good for your skin or hair. Eventually, you may notice that hard water leads to itchiness and dryness after showers. Softening your water will fix these issues.
• Improved drinking water: Minerals in your water come with a distinct flavor. Adding a water softener to your plumbing system can eliminate that unpleasant taste, leaving you with fresher water.
• Reduction/elimination of limescale buildup: Countless homeowners deal with limescale buildup around their faucets and tubs. Avoid this unsightly issue by installing a water softener to remove the minerals that cause limescale buildup.
• Extended lifespan on certain appliances: Appliances that use water, like washing machines and dishwashers, are negatively impacted by hard water. Removing these minerals with the help of a water softener can increase your appliances’ lifespans.

How Do Water Softeners Work?

Water softeners work seamlessly with your home’s plumbing system and appliances. Through a process known as ion exchange, they remove calcium and magnesium from your water. Left alone, these minerals cause rust stains, calcium buildup, and other issues in your pipes and appliances.

To protect your entire home from hard water, our plumbing experts will route your home’s main water supply through the water softener. After that, the water flowing from every faucet and appliance in your house will be softened.

Water Softener Installation FAQs

How do I know if I need a water softener in my home?

Water hardness varies depending on your water provider’s filtration quality and the mineral content of nearby water sources. To determine whether you need a water softener, look out for common signs of hard water or do a simple test.

Common signs of hard water include:

• Visible limescale: If you notice white spots and mineral buildup around your faucets, your water is hard enough to need a softener.
• Odd-tasting water: Hard water tends to taste slightly earthy or metallic.
• Itchiness after showering/bathing: Hard water can dry out your skin, leaving you with itchy, irritated skin after showering or bathing.

Though these methods work, there are more scientific ways to find out if you need a water softener. Several large retailers sell water quality test kits that measure the “grains per gallon” of your water. Any reading over seven grains per gallon means you have hard water and could benefit from a water softener.
