If those pesky mineral spots on your glassware and hard-to-clean build-up stains in your sink, bathtub, and toilet are getting the best of you, it’s time to call Plumbing Today about installing a water softener for your home.
Home water softeners, also called ion exchange units, are appliances that remove calcium, magnesium, and other minerals from your home’s water. Located inside the softener, resin beads trap calcium and magnesium and replace them with sodium or potassium. Once the resin beads become full of calcium and magnesium, a highly-concentrated salt or potassium solution removes the calcium and magnesium from the beads. After passing through the beads, the resulting chloride solution becomes a waste stream that goes down the drain.
There are several reasons homeowners may choose to have a water softener installed in their homes. To determine if your home could benefit from a water softener, a professional Plumbing Today technician will first measure your water’s hardness. If it’s greater than seven grains per gallon or 120 mg/L, then you might need a water softener to ensure your appliances run well and to improve the taste, smell, or look of your water.
