How Hard Water Works

Water softeners are designed to tackle a specific problem called hard water. Hard water is basically just regular water, but it has a high amount of magnesium and calcium particles in it. As the water flows over a surface, it will deposit tiny amounts of these minerals over time until they start to grow into deposits. That’s lime scale.

The Effects of Lime Scale

Lime scale is most dangerous to your plumbing system, even if it’s harmless to you personally. It’s a problem because it restricts the flow of water through the pipes, lessening the efficiency of your plumbing system by a significant amount. If the lime scale isn’t caught quickly enough, it can harden and become impossible to remove without damaging the pipe irreparably. This is why water softening is sometimes necessary.

Water Softening Systems We Offer

Whole house water softeners come in a variety of different types and styles, including:

  • Ion Exchange: An ion exchange water softener is a system designed to replace the particles of magnesium and calcium in the water with something benign. Namely, salt. It’s not enough salt for you to taste it in the water, but it is just enough to prevent the formation of lime scale in your pipes.
  • Reverse Osmosis: Also used as a general water filtration system, reverse osmosis filters have a membrane thick enough to block the particles of magnesium and calcium from entering the home with the rest of the water. This is a good option if you’re considering water filtration for other reasons, as a reverse osmosis system also prevents a lot of other harmful materials from making it into your home’s plumbing system.
