Tired of seeing a chalky residue on your faucets and plumbing fixtures? You may benefit from water softener installation in Sun Prairie, WI. The white residue you’ve noticed comes from hard water. Hard water is water with high amounts of hard minerals, typically magnesium and calcium. These minerals are safe for consumption but can damage your plumbing system. Hard water may also taste different than water that has been softened.
As the name implies, a water softener system helps soften water via an ion exchange process. In simple terms, softer minerals replace hard ones during this exchange. The exchange process often involves a brine, which is a mixture of sodium and water. Southport Home Services can explain the process in detail and answer any questions you may have.
