Are Water Softeners Worth The Investment?
A water softener is an investment in the lifespan of your home’s appliances, plumbing and the appearance of your skin and hair. They provide good value for the benefits they provide, and they’ll even save you money in other areas of your home. Soft water can save you time completing household chores and can help prevent linens and clothing from wearing out too quickly.
With all the advantages of a water softener, it’s no wonder Kinetico Water Systems is San Antonio’s trusted water softener company. If you’re interested in investing in a water softener for your home, reach out to our team to discuss your options or to set up your installation.
Benefits Of Water Softener Systems
Understanding what a water softener system will provide for you and your home is important when it comes to investing in one. Hard water is highly mineralized. That means, it not only damages appliances and plumbing but it affects your skin, hair, laundry and dishes, too.
Hard Water And Your Plumbing
When it comes to your pipes, faucets and appliances, the minerals in hard water here in San Antonio or the Hill Country can build up and limit the flow of water. To remove the limescale buildup, you’ll either need to pay for extensive cleaning or, in some cases, replace your pipes entirely.
Your hot water heater is one appliance that may receive the most buildup and can be costly to clean or replace. With a soft water system, your pipes won’t clog as easily, your hot water heater and other appliances won’t need to be cleaned as often – and they’ll last you years longer! By investing in a water softener system, you extend the life of your machines and plumbing system.
Cleaning With Hard Water
The minerals in hard water also affect your skin and hair. When you shower with hard water, your skin will dry out quicker – and because hard water doesn’t dissolve soap entirely, your hair will lose its shine. The same is true for laundry detergent. Since hard water doesn’t dissolve the detergent properly, your clothes will fade in a shorter amount of time and the material will wear out faster.
Similarly, hard water leaves spots on glassware due to the remnants of dish detergent. If you notice spots or yellow stains on your bathroom tiles, sinks or toilets, this is from the minerals in hard water continuously staining it over time. No matter how much you clean, getting those stains or hard water spots to stay away can only be solved with a soft water system. Installing a water softener will keep your skin and hair soft, shiny and hydrated, extend the lifespan of your clothes and make your glassware, tiles, toilets and sinks sparkle again.
