Water Softener Experts

Do you have hard water with soap scum and mineral deposits around your shower heads? A water softener can help. But what is it, and how does it work? For those not aware of how to deal with hard water, installing a water softener may appear intimidating and costly. But, in many cases, it can be added to your plumbing — usually for less than expected. There are different types and brands of water softeners, but generally, it is an appliance with a tank for salt and a tank that softens the water (usually smaller than a fridge). The team at Bruce Mackay will ensure the correct installation to enhance the water in your home.

Why You Should Care if Your Home Has a Water Softener

Hard water can be a nuisance, damaging your plumbing and appliances. Soft water is essential for modern homes, as high-efficiency appliances may not work correctly if they accumulate too much hard water. This can lead to a shorter lifespan, as the build-up can erode parts, causing them to fail or stop working.

Hard water can also make it harder to keep your home clean, as typical household cleaners will have difficulty performing in hard water. Staining in sinks, showers, and bathrooms, along with mineral crusts on shower heads and faucets, can make an otherwise clean space look dirty.

Hard water can harm your hair and skin. It can lead to dryness plus cause hair to become fuzzy, dry, and lifeless due to buildup. A water softener is essential, as hard water can damage plumbing, cause hair and skin issues, and render household maintenance more difficult. Understand water softening and decide if it’s necessary. Locate a provider, test your water, and treat it as needed.
