The Problem with Hard Water

The more dissolved calcium and magnesium present in a water supply, the harder that water is. Believe it or not, you can actually feel the different between hard water and soft water, which is because the mineral content, or lack thereof produces different reactions to soap. Hard water makes more soap scum as it mixes with calcium, causing you to use more detergent or soap to complete any cleaning task. It’s truly hard to wash with!

That’s not all – hard water creates undesirable feelings in your home, including:

  • Dishes always look spotty and filmy even when clean.
  • Clothing becomes dingy because soap doesn’t lather as much.
  • Minerals affect the material quality of clothing, requiring more frequent replacement.
  • Clothing feels stiff when touched.
  • Tea, coffee, and other drinks made from the water have a different taste.
  • Minerals can clog plumbing pipes in the home.
  • More scale and film on fixtures in bathrooms.
  • Skin feels dry.
  • Hair looks limp and not vibrant as it holds too much shampoo residue.
  • The water heater's lifespan diminished through mineral deposits.
  • Water heater efficiency drops as minerals fill the tank and prevent heat transfer efficacy.

  • Make your money back fast through the energy savings a new water softener generates in just a few short years!

Scheduled Water Softener Inspections

Water softeners run year-round and have an important task to perform. In order to ensure proper performance of the softener system, you need to have preventive maintenance performed by your plumber.

A plumber should inspect your water softener once per year. At Jarboe’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, our water softener inspections follow this process:

  • Test Water Quality Before and After a Cycle
  • Valve, Motor, and Bypass Functionality Inspection
  • Verify Time, Regeneration, and Cycle Settings
  • Measure Salt Dosage Setting
  • Inspect Backwash Performance
  • Inspect Rinse Performance
  • Inspect Water Flow and Flow Rate
  • Inspect Brine Tank Draw Performance
  • Inspect Brine Tank Refill Performance
  • Look for Salt Levels and Salt Bridges
  • Test Functionality of Safety Float
  • Determine Quality of Ion Exchange Resin Beads

Along with professional inspections, homeowners need to enact some maintenance to care for these systems as well. Keep the following in mind as you do:

  • Run an iron cleaner through the water softener annually.
  • Never fill the salt bin over two-thirds full.
  • Allow salt to become almost totally depleted before refilling the tank.
  • Choose pure salt with iron remover for best results – never put rock salt in your home’s water softener.
