What Is a Water Softener and How Does It Work?
A water softener is a compact unit which purifies the water supply to your home and ensures that it is free from minerals like calcium and magnesium that are commonly found in “hard” unfiltered water.
These units work by passing the water through a purifying tank, breaking down the minerals and leaving you with fresh, clean, and safe to use water.
How Can You Tell If You Have Hard Water?
The easiest way to tell if you have hard water is to taste it. Hard, unfiltered water usually tastes metallic and “off” compared to clean, filtered water. If you’re still unsure, take a look at these signs before giving us a call for a professional inspection:
Stains
Is there a white film which forms on your shower, glass shower doors, faucets, and sinks after use? There’s a good chance you’ve got hard water.
Damaged appliances
Hard water can be damaging to your appliances and often leaves residue and buildup, along with brownish stains and a foul, unpleasant odor.
Dry skin and hair
Washing your hair and skin with hard water pulls the moisture from your skin, so if your skin feels dry and itchy all the time a water softener may help alleviate the issue.
At Elander Mechanical, Inc., our technicians will be able to assess the state of your water supply and help you make the best choice for your needs. If you have a water softener but have noticed any of the signs mentioned above, there’s a chance that it has stopped working and is in need of servicing.
