What Is Hard Water?

Hard water does not refer to ice when speaking in terms of plumbing. Instead, hard water is water that has a high concentration of dissolved minerals within, specifically calcium, magnesium, and manganese. This problem exhibits many symptoms, including:

Increased soap scum in and on plumbing fixtures
Rings around the bathtub/toilet/sink basins
Spots on your dishes or shower door
Decreased foaming of soaps and detergents
Clothes that have a yellow tinge
Clogged pipes due to mineral buildup
An increase in water heating costs

Using a good water conditioner can help you to avoid such problems. We recommend the use of Water–Right products, such as the Sanitizer Plus Series® water treatment systems. We are factory trained on all of their systems, so you can expect a great performance from your equipment when we install and service it.

How Do Water Softeners Work?

With the use of a water softener, you essentially swap out the minerals in the water that cause hardness for sodium ions. The water softener is plumbed into your plumbing system, and features a mineral tank filled with resin beads carrying a negative charge. The calcium and magnesium in the water is oppositely charged, so they cling to the beads.

A brine solution is then flushed through the tank, and the calcium and magnesium are washed off the beads. Hard water enters the mineral tank, calcium and magnesium ions adhere to the beads, replacing the sodium ions, and a regeneration cycle begins when the beads are saturated with the calcium and magnesium, which is then flushed down the drain.
