Water Softening System Installation & Replacement

Remove hard water with a water softener installation

Hard water is a common, irritating, and costly problem for many homes. While it’s normal for there to be minerals like calcium and magnesium in your water, too many minerals will lead to hard water. Hard water does not usually lead to health problems, but it does cause damage to your home as it can cause clogs, reduce the efficiency of your water heater, leave spots, and otherwise hurt your plumbing. Showering or bathing with hard water can also lead to a scratchy and dry feeling.

The best way to get rid of hard water is with a water softening system installation. While there are a variety of different types of water softeners, they all aim to lessen the mineral content of your water or at least prevent the minerals from sticking. Often they do this by replacing the undesired minerals with salt, but there are saltless systems too.

Benefits of a water softener

  • Save Money: The biggest problem with hard water is the cost it has to your home and wallet. The minerals in hard water slowly build up in pipes and appliances which shortens their lifespan and can cause irreversible damage to the plumbing. Hard water also lessens the effectiveness of your water heater, forcing it to use more fuel in order to compensate.
  • Improved comfort: While hard water is not particularly dangerous, it can be uncomfortable for you and your family. When you bathe with hard water, the mineral often removes natural oils which can lead to dry, itchy, and irritated skin. Hard water can also have a similar effect on hair.
  • Less Cleaning: Perhaps the most time-consuming effect of hard water is how much longer you’ll need to clean dishes, sinks, faucets, and shower walls. This is because hard water makes soap less effective and also leaves chalky lime and soap scum on surfaces over time.
