Water hardness is determined by the amount of calcium, magnesium and other minerals in your water. Over time, these minerals can harden into deposits that buildup in your pipes, faucets and appliances. By installing a water softener, you can lower the concentration of these minerals before the water flows through your plumbing.
In a water softener system, hard water flows through a filter filled with negatively charged resin beads. Since calcium and magnesium are positively charged molecules, they stick to the beads and remain trapped in the system, allowing soft water to flow out. Salt water is then used to flush the system, removing the calcium and magnesium molecules so the beads can be used again.
It’s impossible to tell the difference between hard and soft water simply by looking at it. However, hard water can cause several problems that are easy to detect. Here are some signs to watch for:
Additionally, hard water can cause your washing machine and dishwasher to wear out prematurely, so take note if these appliances seem to need frequent repairs.
