The question is often asked, “Are water softeners beneficial?” The answer is a resounding yes! But first what is hard water? Hard water is any water supply that contains excess metals or minerals such as iron and calcium. Even though hard water is safe to use, it can cause a variety of problems concerning cleaning and appliance use. In addition to preventing mineral buildup in your plumbing pipes, fixtures and appliances; water softeners dilute or remove the mineral concentrations present in hard water and offer many clear benefits to homeowners.
Orsack Plumbing Company would like to offer some of the many benefits of a water softening system installed in your home.
1. A water softener can enhance the quality and shine of your dishware, stemware, and silverware. The hard water spots are no longer an issue when you have a water softener installed. Your dishes will no longer have to be polished, or any other extra treatment executed to keep your silverware, dishware, or stemware clean and vibrant.
2. In different climates across the land, your hair and skin may already be subject to abuse. Hard water will dry out your skin and hair, and often will not be up to the task of rinsing away soaps and shampoos, leaving your skin and hair feeling dirty and rough. Treating your skin and hair in soft water will make them softer and more clean. And as an added bonus; you won’t need to use as much soap, shampoo or conditioner. This saves you money on personal cleaning supplies and helps the environment.
3. Soap curd is a natural side effect of hard water. Your home will be void of that issue, and everything will look a lot cleaner. Investing in a water softener will help cut down on the added house work.
4. Hard water can leave mineral deposits on fabrics. This leaves white clothes looking dingy, and dulling out your colors. With a water softener, you are enhancing your clothes appearance and quality.
5. Your appliances life are extended. When the mineral deposits are not crusting over on your appliances moving parts, they are working more efficiently and smoothly. Water softeners can contribute to a longer lasting appliance.
Having a water softener system installed in your home can reward you, your appliances, and over all cleaning. They are an overall wise investment.
