How Water Softeners Work

Depending on where one lives and where the water comes from, there is a high probability of encountering hard water. Hard water usually refers to the water supply with high quantities of calcium and magnesium that have been absorbed from the earth. While hard water is considered safe for use in the home, it does have some downsides to it, particularly that high levels of dissolved minerals lead to buildup in pipes and plumbing fixtures, as well as reports that homeowners feel itchy after taking a bath or a shower in water with high mineral content.

For these reasons, homeowners would benefit from installing a water softener at home. A water softener is a home appliance that filters the calcium and magnesium in hard water, eliminating most of the problems that usually occur when these minerals are present in excessive levels in a home's water supply. Many water softener benefits make a difference for the average homeowner, including but not limited to the following advantages.

Cleans More Effectively

The simple act of installing a water softener gets rid of these pesky side effects. Softened water helps soap and detergent work more effectively, saving homeowners time that would have otherwise been used up by cleaning scale buildup. Clothes washed with softened water also last longer, while dishes usually come out cleaner after a turn in the dishwasher.

Protects the Plumbing System

Hard water is notorious for leaving mineral deposits in a home's plumbing system. This buildup of minerals along the inside of the length of a pipe will reduce its diameter and result in a reduced flow of water that may eventually lead to a clog or a blockage. Installing a water softener can prevent this by eliminating minerals before they make it to the pipes, plumbing fixtures, and appliances like water heaters. This keeps a home's plumbing system working properly and lengthens its lifespan.

Improves Health of Skin and Hair

By softening water, homeowners protect the health of their skin and hair, allowing them to step out of their shower feeling more comfortable or finish washing their hands without experiencing the dry and itchy effect of a mineral-heavy water supply. This is especially important for people who have sensitive skin and are prone to allergies. Most homeowners who install water softeners find that they are less prone to itchy breakouts and are happy with the improved health of their skin when bathing in softened water.
