More and more Madison, WI, residents are choosing water softener installation for their homes. The water in our area is known to be moderately hard, meaning that there are minerals, usually calcium and magnesium, among others, present in the water. This doesn’t impact the safety of drinking the water, but it can cause damage to your plumbing and dry out skin and hair. Fortunately, you have the water softener system experts at Southport Home Services here to assist you in improving your water quality. Here’s what you need to know to decide if a water softener is right for you.
"Awesome service! Friendly folk, on time with arrival, quick assessments, informative options and completed job in timely manner. Highly recommend."
When you have hard water, the minerals in the water can leave behind residue on your skin, clothes, dishes, and even your pipes. Over time, this residue can build up inside your pipes, narrowing the opening and making clogs and other complications more likely. It can also leave your skin and hair feeling dry and leave water spots on your dishes.
Water softener systems work by extracting the minerals from the water as it passes from the main water supply into your home. In most cases, systems do this by directing the water through a tank of salt. The salt attracts the minerals, drawing them out of the water, without imparting a salty taste to the water. All you’ll typically need to do to maintain your water softener system is replenish the salt periodically, and you can find it at home improvement stores, other large retailers, and online.
There are numerous benefits to water softener installation, including:
Softer, healthier hair, skin, and nails
Less wear and tear on your laundry
Fewer water spots on dishes
Better drinking water flavor
Reduced need for plumbing repairs
Water softener installation is a simple process involving connecting the equipment and salt tank to your home’s incoming water pipe. This will allow the system to treat the water before it comes into your home so that you’ll have soft water at every faucet, shower, tub, and appliance.
