Signs You Need Water Softeners
Choosing whole-house water softeners can be seen as optional. However, once you see and feel the difference of softer water, you’ll wonder why the choice wasn’t made sooner! Having dry hair and itchy skin might not be from your shampoo or lack of lotion, it could simply be the minerals in the water. Mineral deposits left on your sinks, bathtubs, and stained clothes could also be a sign of hard water, not a problem with your cleaning. Also, appliances and plumbing will suffer from hard water causing leaks and numerous repair bills.
The problem of appliance and plumbing repairs alone can easily make up for the cost of having a water softener installed. You will see a longer life out of dish and clothes washers, as well as refrigerators that dispense water. Plumbing that is subjected to hard water will clog up which slows pressure and can cause higher water bills.

Types of Water Softeners
There are a few types of water softeners on the market and deciding which is best for your home can be done on your own or with the advice of our knowledgeable technicians. The most common water softener is a salt-based ion exchange and works by substituting minerals like calcium and magnesium with sodium. Salt-free water softeners are a great option for those concerned about sodium intake and the limescale left on their pipes. Another option is a dual tank softener which can constantly supply soft water as when one tank is regenerating, the other is working to soften water. The biggest consideration when choosing a water softener is its ability to handle the hardness of your water and how long the unit takes to recharge itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is there a difference between hard water and soft water?
Yes, there’s a noticeable difference between hard and soft water:
- Hard Water: This type of water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. The hardness of your water largely depends on the geographical area you live in and the mineral content of the soil through which your water travels. Hard water can be problematic for plumbing systems, leading to various issues such as scale buildup in pipes and appliances, making it a critical factor to consider if you’re experiencing plumbing problems.
- Soft Water: In contrast to hard water, soft water has lower levels of minerals. This reduction in minerals means that soaps and detergents can lather more effectively and you’re less likely to see mineral buildup on your fixtures.
Plumbers can offer various solutions to manage the hardness of your water. If you’ve had negative experiences with soft water in the past, there are alternative methods available that can improve your water quality and enhance your overall experience.
