Hard Water: Causes and Other Problems
Hard water is the result of dissolved calcium and magnesium. These minerals are naturally occurring elements found in soil and bedrock. While these substances generally have little impact on the water's taste and smell, they can create cloudy deposits on dishes, glassware, and plumbing fixtures. Over time, these mineral accumulations can build up to the point that they cause expensive damage to water-using appliances and contribute to slow-flowing or obstructed plumbing lines. Hard water chemicals also block the cleaning action of soap, body wash, and dish and laundry detergents.
All About Water Softeners
Calcium and magnesium ions form bonds with individual water molecules, and this strong attachment makes it very difficult to remove these substances from the water supply. A water softener breaks the bond via a chemical reaction using sodium or potassium. Water softeners require the periodic addition of sodium- or potassium-based medium to fuel the reaction but otherwise operate with little to no user input. The result is softer water that doesn't contribute to lime-scale build-up or cause other hard water-related problems.
The right water softening system is the only way to completely prevent the damage caused by hard water. These units are easy to install and are highly effective when properly maintained. Although some periodic maintenance is required for optimal performance, our team can provide you with guidance on how to get the most possible benefit from your system.
