Every person on Earth needs water to survive. Environmentalists are always looking for ways to reduce the amount of water people use on a daily basis. People who are not environmentalist might not be interested in preserving water, but all Americans should be interested in improving the quality of the water they use on a daily basis. Most Americans who live in large cities have hard water flowing through their pipes. Much like 85 percent of the United States population, San Antonio residents shower, clean and drink hard water every day. Hard water problems can be solved by installing a water softener.
Benefits of a water treatment system
Hard water leaves stains on dishes. Most people think they can get their dishes spotless by using expensive detergents. However, despite expensive detergents calcium and magnesium often leave chalky residue on clean dishes. Overtime, this chalky residue will cause silverware to rust, and it will leave a permanent white residue on glasses. Fortunately, a water softener can remove chalky residue without the use of harsh chemicals.
Shampoos and soaps do not lather well in hard water. Showering or bathing with hard water often leaves a soapy residue on skin. Soap residue causes dry skin. Many people use lotions to eliminate dry skin, but dry skin can be eliminated with the help of a water softener. Hard water also causes lime scale to buildup on water fixtures. Some people use expensive cleaning products to eliminate lime scale, but the problem can be eliminated by simply installing a water treatment system. In addition to cleaner dishes and softer skin, a water softener can also help clothes last longer. Despite how good a detergent claims to be at preserving colors, hard water will fade dark colored clothing fast. A water softener will keep clothes bright and soft without the use of chemicals.
How a water softener works
Hard water leaves behind calcium and magnesium. A water treatment system uses resin to soften water. Resins are static electrically charged sensitive plastic beads. In the process of softening water, salt removes the calcium and magnesium. The salt is what turns hard water into soft water.
