Lovable. Magical. Water Softeners System.
When water moves through soil and rocks, it dissolves small amounts of minerals, which then becomes part of the water. Contaminants can also be absorbed in this process. The higher the concentration of calcium and magnesium in a water supply, the higher the degree of hardness. While hard water is not bad for your health it can reduce moisture in your skin and hair and leave behind a film on your plumbing fixtures. This can cause you to feel less clean to the touch, affect dandruff and irritate dry skin problems such as eczema and give you more work to clean up. A water softener can help.
Hard water is more than an irritation. As the areas oldest water filtration and water softener expert we get asked “what is hard water” often. In reality hard water is like concrete. Over time hard water scale builds up in pipes, appliances and plumbing fixtures.
Hard water minerals stick to everything it touches. Hard water joins with soap to make a sticky paste that clings to your skin, hair, clothes, sinks, tubs, therefore makes your life difficult and yes, more costly.
Washing clothes with hard water can cause your clothing, towels, sheets to look dull and break down more quickly over time. Additionally, dishwasher hard water can leave spots on dishes. Plus mineral deposits requires more soap and makes cleaning sinks, faucets, toilets, counters and floors take longer and can leave residue on your surfaces. Having a water softener is like having a Scrubbing Helper.
How Do Water Softeners Work?
Hard water is made of calcium and magnesium, both positively charged molecules. A water softener is designed with negatively charged resin beads. When hard water runs through a water softener, calcium and magnesium are attracted to the resin beads and will drain out of the system, along with the salty water. The same is true when the water softener regenerates, or cleans itself — leaving you with softer, better water.
