IS YOUR WATER DRYING OUT YOUR SKIN & HAIR

What is the Difference Between Hard and Soft Water

When it comes to hard and soft water there is a big difference, due to the water’s overall mineral content. The amount of hardness in water is regulated by mineral levels which determine its potency of moderate to hard.

Most buildings contain hard water and it can cause negative consequences like spotty glasses and bathroom tub residue. To combat this many use a water softening system which removes these minerals.

Determining If You Have Hard Water

One of the first ways that inform you of hard water is noticing left behind residue which can be found on appliances and fixtures using water and dishes that you considered “clean.”

Freshly cleaned laundry will also not appear as bright as they normally should. The calcium and magnesium causes the hardness (mainly from soil and rocks), while sodium is only found in soft water as it has been treated.

Damage to Appliances and Plumbing

Pipes in a building can also become damaged from its encounters with hard water as its ultimate build up cause clogs to appear and other issues over a period of time due to the accumulation of minerals. Pipes clog from the hardening water deposits, which definitely will find the need for professional repair and may you’re your monthly water bills.

The same thing happens with other appliances like a washer machine or basic coffee pot. Minerals connect to various parts of the units and often cause them to wear out earlier than expected so you find they soon need replacing.

Consider Water Softening Systems

This hard-soft water problem can easily be solved by considering some of the water softening units that are available that dissolve these damaging chemicals and minerals. When hard water is properly treated, damage to pipes and appliances is prevented as mineral deposits are greatly reduced.

Cleaning the home will also be easier as residue will now be free from fixtures and glasses will not require re-washing to rid stains. A water softener is relatively quiet and most do not use electric power. They are simple to operate and need little care and maintenance. What you will see is a very big difference in the quality of the water immediately.

Simple Installation

The professional installation of water softeners is usually a smooth task. Usually they are installed and running in just a few hours. Afterwards you will enjoy cleaner appliances and fresher tasting water.
