Benefits of Soft Water for your New Jersey Home
Perhaps your neighbors have a water softener, or your in-laws, maybe your best friend just had one installed. Have you ever wondered about the benefits of having a water softener? If you are thinking about having your own water softener installed by Team Electric Plumbing & Air, here are some of the benefits you can expect.
Longer Appliance Lifespan: There are a lot of appliances in your home that use water. You probably have a coffee machine, a hot water heater, dishwasher, ice maker, and a clothing washer. The problem with hard water is the calcium and magnesium. They form a scaly substance inside of your appliances. The scale can build up and damage you appliances. If you hot water heater has scale buildup, you will be spending more money to heat the water in your home. There are two types of water softeners, one uses salt and the other is salt-less. Both types use the same principle. Water softeners are designed to bind up the magnesium and calcium, which keeps and hard water scale from forming.
Clean Pipes: Hard water scale also builds up inside of your water pipes. You might notice a crusty white residue on your shower head. If you have that on your shower head, imagine how the inside of your pipes appear. With the plumbing experts at Team Electric Plumbing & Air, you know that your new water softener will be installed correctly. Once your water softener is working, you can say good bye to the hard water scale buildup in your water pipes.
Longer Lasting Clothing: That’s right, hard water is hard on your clothing. Eventually, hard water causes your whites to go a dingy gray color. Hard water makes your colored clothing fade. A water softener is going to add life to your clothing and towels.
Nice Hair and Skin: Has your skin ever felt itchy after you take a shower? Soap works better with soft water. When you have hard water, the soap binds to the calcium and magnesium and forms a scum. This soap scum is hard to rinse off and sticks to your skin and hair. With soft water your skin will feel softer and your hair will feel smoother.
Your Dishes Will Sparkle: The calcium and magnesium in hard water binds to soap. The dish soap in your dishwasher will not perform as well with hard water. Once your water softener is installed you will notice that your glassware won’t have spots and your dishes will come out cleaner because the soap can do its job more fully.
