Water Softeners in Colorado Springs, CO

Your water supply is a vital part of your living conditions. Having access to clean, drinkable portable is a necessity. While many towns have access to water, they also may experience the inconvenience of hard water or water with high mineral content. This is not ideal and can lead to a world of trouble. Thankfully, WireNut Home Services offer water softeners that can improve your water quality. We are here to ensure that you and your family have the clean water you deserve.

What is Hard Water?

You may have heard the term “hard water” before but did not understand what it means. We are here to tell you what hard water is and the issues it can cause. The hardness of water refers to the mineral content of your water supply. The most common minerals found in a typical residential water source are calcium and magnesium. However, there may also be trace amounts of iron, chlorine, and copper. 

The Effects of Hard Water

These minerals in hard water are not harmful for human consumption because they are only present in trace amounts, meaning it is almost undetectable. However, hard water can accumulate on your pipes and other plumbing surfaces. Hard water can also damage your appliances, such as coffee machines, hot water heaters, and other appliances that come into contact with your water. It also has an impact on other things in your home, such as scale buildup on your driveways and plumbing fixtures, leaving a dirty appearance. Hard water also makes your clothes look faded. At the end of the day, hard water will lead to costly repairs for your property and appliances. 

Not to mention the effects it has on your body. Hard water can leave coat your hair and cause it to break or fall out. It may also cause an increase in acne, irritable and dry skin, and clogged pores. As we mentioned, consuming hard water won’t directly make you sick, but it can impact your appearance and comfort. Therefore, installing a water softener will help you and your family avoid these horrible consequences. WireNut Home Services can help you with that!

How Do Water Softeners Work?

Your best defense against the effects of hard water is installing a water softener in your home. Water softeners use an ion exchange process to combat the high mineral content in hard water. Sodium, an integral component in salt, is a positively charged ion or element. Calcium and magnesium are also positively charged elements. However, they are not as strong as sodium. 

For this reason, the sodium ions will replace the calcium and magnesium ions, forcing them out. The calcium and magnesium ions will then pass through a system that removes them from your water, leaving you with softer and purer water! To remove the buildup of these unwanted minerals, you can install a salt-free water conditioner. At WireNut Home Services, we offer both salt and non-salt water conditioners to keep your property clean and shiny.

Why Should You Install a Water Softener?

While it may seem unnecessary to install a water softener if you haven’t noticed the effects, they will catch up on you in the future. Therefore, it is best to install one as soon as possible to prevent the costly and frustrating consequences of hard water. Here are a few ways you and your home can benefit from water softeners.

Save Money

By spending money on a water softener, you will save money in the long run. On average, a water softener will last 20 years. This means that it is an investment for the future. By taking care of the hard water, you can prolong the life of your water-based appliances, preventing premature replacements. You also save money on costly repairs and excessive cleaning habits. 

Save Time 

Constantly repairing and cleaning your home and appliances takes up your valuable time. A water softener will leave time for more important things.

Save Energy 

When your water has a high mineral content, it takes longer to heat and cool your water. This uses more energy. If you would like to reduce your carbon footprint and cut back on electricity bills, contact WireNut Home Services for your very own water softener!

Take Care of Your Health

As we have mentioned, hard water takes a toll on your hair and skin. These effects can lead to discomfort and pain. Take care of your skin and hair by removing these minerals from your water. You and your family will never regret this decision.

Repair instead of Replace

If a water heater unit is properly maintained by service professionals, it can last a decade or more. A water heater is a significant investment for your home, and repairs can often save you hundreds of dollars in the long term. Issues where repair service is beneficial over a complete replacement to include replacement of external piping, repairs of electrical thermostats and sensors, repair of minor external damage, and replacement of filters and sensors in the natural gas and carbon monoxide sections accessible for service.

When Should My Water Heater Be Replaced

Water heater replacement is suggested when a unit is deemed non-repairable, or the request is made by the client to have their water heater replaced. A water heater has a typical service life of ten to fifteen years, so if your water heater is approaching that age, begin looking at replacing your unit instead of having it serviced.
