Water Softener

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. Especially if you reside in Utah.

What Is Hard Water & The Need For A Water Softener

Here in Utah we have a high mineral content (in contrast with “soft water”). Hard water is formed when it percolates through deposits of limestone. Also chalk or gypsum which are largely made up of calcium and magnesium carbonates, bicarbonates and sulfates. Also called calcium carbonate (CaCO3). In other words an insoluble calcium compound that ends up attaching itself to everything.
Awater softener 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.

Hard Water VS Soft Quick Test

What Hard Water Can Do To Water Heater Elements

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.

Tanked Water Heaters Hard Water Effects

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 In Your Water Heater

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.

What To Expect

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!

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US

Very knowledgeable and knows his stuff would recommend him to anyone thank you so much again

Excellent communication and repiping process by Jon and the Keemer Plumbing team. We had a full re-pipe due to Poly B and they were able to complete the full repipe within the timeframe presented. They were very clear about pricing, possible upgrades, critical details and potential issues throughout the process. In addition, every referall they gave for electrical and drywall finishing work has also been excellent to work with. We had a minor concern (unrelated to the repiping process other than perhaps the entire system was much more efficient than the prior, so we were not used to it) and Patrick, the president of the company, personally came out to verify everything was running correctly, which, to me, says a lot about their commitment to their clients and upholding quality of services. I absolutely recommend them for any plumbing needs.

Keemer Plumbing did a repipe on our 1950’s home among other things. We shopped around quite a bit and so glad we decided to go with this business. Super professional team, great quality work, always responsive, on time. It was a big project and they did a fantastic job overall. Updating to reflect their most recent work. We discovered a gas leak, Keemer came out to fix their mistake. They had to cut some dry wall but said someone would contact us in the next few days. Over a week has passed no one has reached out and when w reached out They didn’t have a record..
