Hard Water Softener Options
As you can see on the map, Utah state has the hardest water in the nation! If you are experiencing stubborn water stains and limescale in your shower/tub, then chances are you have hard water. A water softener will make ALL the difference in the world.
This will benefit your entire plumbing system and every appliance that water passes through. Especially when taking a shower. The conditioned water will be now soft on your skin.
Hard Water VS Softener (Soft)
Hard water is something every Utah homeowner and business experiences regardless if they realize it or not. Here is a simple test that you can do to see if you have hard water or soft. Take a plastic bottle and fill it halfway. Then shake it up.
If you notice a minimal amount of bubbles you have hard water. If you do it and notice many bubbles in the bottle, you have soft water.
Damage From Hard Water In Your Electric Water Heater
This hard water can leave calcium deposits on nearly every metal object like your water heating elements. Without a doubt, this makes your water heater less efficient. It also shortens the lifespan as it causes the elements to burn out. You might not notice this happening, but it is building up slowly ever day.
Damage From Hard Water In Your Gas Water Heater
Homeowners in the greater Salt Lake metro area are constantly experiencing efficiency loss in their gas water heaters. Do you hear bubbling and gurgling noises coming from your gas water heater?
This is the result of hard water sediment buildup at the bottom of your hot water heater tank. Yet another valid reason that you need a water softener installed for your entire home plumbing system.
Damage From Hard Water On Your Skin
Something to think about, every time you take a shower or bath, you are bathing in hard water. Hard water can also cause the fabric to become rough in laundry and clog skin pores. It may be the culprit in brittle hair or hair that feels firm, hard or has a straw-like texture and looks limp.
Also while you are using the sink washing dishes, silverware, glasses, etc your hands are exposed to hard water. Drying out and causing skin irritation.
Damage From Hard Water On Your Copper and Galvanized Pipes
All plumbing pipes metal or not will have a reaction and will eventually clog and reduce the internal diameter. This is why many Salt Lake area homeowners that have copper or galvanized pipes hire us to repipe their entire home. However, this is also noticed at a slower pace for nonmetallic pipes such as polybutylene.
As water is flowing through these pipes, you or your family members are taking a shower with this contaminated water. The same water is also washing your laundry and clothing and more.
It is true that copper and galvanized pipes react differently to hard water. However, the results can be shocking. As a homeowner, we are all so busy with life’s daily tasks.
We often don’t think about such things until one sees the build-up in their plumbing pipes. Wow, we say to our selves, this is the water in my plumbing system in my home? However true this is, we have a permanent solution for your home and family!
