Hard water can seriously impact on the pipework and appliances of a house. A build-up of limescale can often be seen in and around taps, showerheads and sinks. It is somewhat hidden, but potentially far greater damage is being done to the interior of our treasured home appliances – the likes of dishwashers, washing machines and boilers – which can ultimately lead to reduced efficiency and possibly even terminal damage.
Among the most straightforward and economical ways of protecting yourself and your home from these effects is by installing one of the widely available home water filter systems. A top-of-the-line filter will sharply decrease the volume of these minerals. Nevertheless, without a doubt, the most accepted way to eliminate these damaging minerals is with a softener.
The salt in a water softener actually dissolves and gets rid of minerals in your water. This is good for the water, but at the same time may also be a cause for added sodium in your diet. There are salt free softeners on the market, but one must be aware of their effectiveness since the technology is still in its infancy and so they may not function as claimed.
Thinking of acquiring a softener – some valid reasons
With a home water softening system, a person can actually save money. It has been reported that a household of four people can save up to £1,250 annually by installing this type of system. This is because these devices help to prolong the life of clothing by as much as 15%, as well as boosting the lifespan of appliances by up to 30%.
Moreover, you will find that water heaters function more efficiently in the heating of soft water. Note also that other cleaners work roughly 50% more effectively with soft water. It is widely known that hard water forms stains that can be virtually impossible to eradicate. Frequently, special cleaners are bought to eliminate the residue from taps, bathtubs and other fixtures and appliances. This is very expensive and removing the hard water stains is very time consuming. This also applies to dishes and glass which may feature unwanted spots as a result of the lack of a water softening system.
Most of us are aware that clothes washed using hard water are very likely to become stiff and are not as durable as clothes washed with soft water. Therefore, the life of one’s clothes can be extended when a water conditioner is set up.
