Do you think you need a water softener system?
The water supply in Houston is classified as hard water. This is confirmed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Hard water is a general property of water. It does not pose a direct threat to your health but it can be a nuisance.
Water is classified as hard when it has more than normal amounts of dissolved calcium and magnesium. These are naturally occurring minerals. This means that even if you take a water sample from a private water well, it will contain these minerals and the water will be classified as hard.
It is estimated that up to 70% of the residents in Houston spend money on repairs and maintenance, which could have been avoided if a hard water softening service was installed in their homes.
How Hard Water Affects Your Home?
Detergent is Used In Greater Quantity: The minerals present in hard water react with soap and detergent. This results in the formation of a thin film. This film remains as a residue. It is known as ‘Soapy Scum’. To remove soapy scum, you have to use more soap and detergent, which puts a drain on your expenses.- It Causes Limescale Buildup: The dissolved minerals can cause limescale buildup in pipes and plumbing. If left unchecked, it can not only seriously damage but also block the flow of water.
- It Causes Cloudy Dishes and Utensils: The soapy scum remains as a residue on your dishes and utensils. Over time they may become permanent. Thus even after washing, your dishes may appear dirty and cloudy.
- It Damages Water Heaters: Hard water deposits limescale and salt in your water heater. These deposits sit at the bottom and over time become hard. If not cleaned in time, they hamper your water heater’s ability to work efficiently. To heat the same amount of water, you will need to spend more electricity. More consumption means more money spent on your electricity bill.
- It Damages Plumbing: The dissolved minerals and salt rub against the inside lining of your pipes. This causes erosion of the protective coating. The exposed pipes are now susceptible to damage and leaks. The deposits and limescale also damage the valves in your bathroom’s plumbing. The shower-heads get choked because of salt buildup. Eventually, everything will have to be replaced.
- It Damages Appliances: If you have appliances in your home connected with your house’s water supply, they are susceptible to damage as well. This is not limited to water heaters, washing machines, and dishwashers. Even smaller appliances such as your coffee maker may get affected.
Water Softener – A Solution for Hard Water
- A water softener filtration system can be easily installed at your home. This helps to treat hard water and make it suitable for use. A water softener system can be installed at the source of your home’s water supply as well as separately for each point of use.
How Does A Water Softener Filtration System Work?
- Ion exchange is a filtration process that is used in most domestic water softener installations. They reduce the dissolved calcium and magnesium from your water supply. Hard water enters the filtration system lined with negatively charged beads. These beads attract calcium and magnesium from the water. These minerals are then replaced with sodium. The water flowing out of this system is softened water.
