Signs You Have Hard Water
Hard water has high levels of dissolved mineral content, including calcium and magnesium. Over time, this can lead to limescale buildup that impacts the flow in your pipes.
Signs you have hard water include:
- Strange sounds from your boiler or water heater: When limescale from hard water builds up in your boiler or water heater, you may be able to hear it.
- Dish spots: Significant water spots on your glasses and other dishware means hard water is preventing you from having truly clean dishes.
- Brittle hair and soap scum: Both of these nuisances can be caused by hard water, which interferes with your soap’s ability to lather.
- Scale buildup: White or yellow deposits on your drains and faucets come from the excess minerals in hard water.
- Low water pressure: Several plumbing concerns can cause reduced water pressure. When hard water is the culprit, you need immediate repair.
Why You Should Install a Whole-Home Water Softener
Installing a water softener is a great way to save your home from the harsh impact of hard water. Here are a few of the benefits of installing a water softener with Len The Plumber Heating & Air:
- Longer-lasting pipes: Hard water damage can lead to more frequent repairs and premature repiping. A water softener prevents pipe deterioration.
- Appliance protection: Your dishwasher, water heater, washing machine, and other plumbing appliances are significant investments. Softer water helps them work more effectively.
- Hair and skin benefits: Bathing with hard water can lead to brittle hair and dry skin. Softer water means shiny hair and hydrated skin.
- Better-tasting water: You can taste the difference between mineral-heavy water and fresh, delicious, softened water.
