Water Softener Installation and Service

What is hard water? Why do we need water softening? Water is hard if it includes a lot of calcium, magnesium and other minerals. These are acquired by groundwater from surrounding soil and rock. Once these minerals precipitate out of hard water it will become a scale that builds up on pipes, water heater, and other water processing appliances or machinery. If this will stick to your pipe, it could reduces the flow and may cause your pipes to clog.

Scale is also a poor conductor of heat, which may affect your water heater. It may also reduces soap's ability to lather whether in the shower or in the laundry. In some cases, it reacts to soap and forms a sticky scum.

Water softening is different from water purification. Water softener descales hard water, and hard water is not harmful to humans. On the other hand, water purifier cleanses contaminated water, which usually contains minerals plus chlorine or chloramines that kill bacteria. These elements, if mixed with water, are very dangerous, since they are designed to kill living things.

There are many ways to prevent hard water to bring these lots of minerals to your pipes. One of them is by running it through water softener. The water to be treated passes through a bed of the resin. Negatively-charged resins absorb and bind metal ions, which are positively charged . Water softener removes the troublesome minerals from the hard water, leaving you with fresh and clean water to your home.
