Why You Need a Water Softener

Utah has some of the hardest water in the United States, and if you live in the Salt Lake City area, chances are your home would benefit from a water softener. Hard water is water that contains high levels of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium. These minerals are naturally present in the groundwater and can build up in your plumbing or appliances and cause various issues. If you notice soap scum buildup, limescale deposits on fixtures and appliances, you likely have hard water. Contact Keemer Plumbing today to see which water softener is right for your home!

Hard Water's Effects on Water Heaters

Mineral deposits from hard water can form on any surface that is in constant contact with your water. Water heaters, particularly older tanked models, are one of the most commonly affected appliances. Buildup on the heater element inside your water heater can significantly reduce the lifespan of your unit leading to costly repairs or replacing the water heater entirely. Other effects of hard water on your heating elements include:
  • Higher energy costs from decreased efficiency
  • Shorter unit lifespan
  • Longer heating cycles

Soft water is just the beginning! Enhance your water quality further with a whole-home water filtration system. Remove chlorine, sediment, and other impurities for cleaner, better-tasting water throughout your home. Learn more about our water filtration options!

Other Effects of Hard Water on Tanked Water Heaters

In addition to damaging your heating elements, hard water can also cause sediment build up in your hot water heater’s tank. Popping or rumbling noises coming from your heater’s tank indicate significant amounts of sediment in your system, reducing its life and efficiency in the long run.

Hard Water's Effects on Copper and Galvanized Pipes

Hard water affects all types of pipes. In particular, copper and galvanized steel are especially susceptible to corrosion and sediment buildup while non-metallic pipes experience slower rates of decay or buildup. Blockages or pipe failures due to hard water are common as the effects are not as visible as a leak or rupture. There are some warning signs, however, that can alert you to hard water buildup in your pipes:

  • Film or deposits on glassware
  • Lower water pressure
  • Higher Water Bills

Hard Water's Effects on Your Skin

Hard water affects more than just your appliances and can have adverse effects on your skin, hair, and clothes. Dry and irritated skin, brittle hair, and rough feeling clothes can all be results of excessively hard water. Improve the water your family uses inside and out with a quality water softener today from Keemer Plumbing.
