If you have problems with hard water, Splash Plumbing will be happy to install a water softener in your Irvine, CA home. Hard water may not be hazardous to your health, but it can still make your life difficult. At the very least, it can make bathing and washing your dishes harder than it should be.
At its very worst, it can leave mineral deposits on the insides of your pipes, narrowing them until water can barely pass through. This is where a water softener system can be helpful. With the right system in place, you won’t have to worry about these issues in your home ever again.
How a Water Softener Works
Most water softener systems work by replacing calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions. Calcium and magnesium in water may be harmless to your health, but it does interfere with the ability of detergents, soap, and shampoo to remove dirt and oil while washing. It also leaves small deposits of calcium on dishes, leaving them with unsightly stains even after washing.
While calcium and magnesium ions cause these problems, sodium ions don’t. When sodium ions replace calcium and magnesium, they help soap lather more effectively and give water a “softer” feel. Not all Irvine houses have water softeners, but installing a unit can help if hard water is present.
- Cloudy stains on glassware after washing
- Dry or itchy skin after bathing
- Soap that doesn’t lather quickly
- Water that tastes slightly bitter or salty out of the tap
- Decrease in water pressure over time
- Rising water bills
