City water often has high levels of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals. While hard water isn’t dangerous, it can dry out your skin and leave residue on your appliances.
Pacific Plumbing & Rooter Inc installs water softeners in Corvallis, OR, and offers water purification options for homeowners who want a healthier supply.
The Best Water Softeners
Water softeners can eliminate several issues.
- Dry, itchy skin
- Brittle hair
- Mineral buildup on faucets
- Cloudy water
- Stained appliances
- Faded clothes
- Strange-tasting water
Most water softeners use salt to treat your water. When hard water enters the system, the salt attracts minerals and replaces them with sodium, softening your water. This process doesn’t make your water taste salty, but if you’re worried about your sodium intake, some manufacturers offer salt-free options.
If you choose a salt-based model, you’ll refill the salt every few weeks. Hardware stores usually sell bags of water softener salt in bulk. Call Pacific Plumbing & Rooter Inc for repairs if your equipment starts burning through salt more frequently.
When you need cleaner water, softening is an important step in the water purification process. Hard water dries out your hair and skin when you shower, causing itchiness and discomfort. When you wash your dishes, hard water leaves mineral deposits that create a cloudy appearance. Hard water also builds up on your faucets and showerheads, blocking the flow.
The size of your water softener depends on your house’s size and water usage. Our plumbing company in Corvallis will help you choose a model that supplies enough water for everyone while fitting in a space inside your house. Salt-free softeners are more compact than traditional models, so we recommend these for smaller households.
Large families benefit from a dual-tank water softener, which processes large quantities of water and keeps one tank active while the other regenerates. Some households opt for a magnetic water softener that removes minerals with a magnetic field. Reverse osmosis softeners filter water through a membrane, removing minerals and contaminants.
