One of the reasons that water softeners are growing in popularity among homeowners in the Carolinas is that they can benefit your home in so many different ways. To prove that point, today we’re going to take a look at six of the best benefits of installing a water softener in your home!

6 benefits of installing a water softener in your home

  1. Improve water heater efficiency. Hard water is one of the leading causes of decreased efficiency in water heaters. That’s because hardness minerals build up on the bottom of your water heater’s tank, which creates a barrier between your unit’s heating elements and the water that needs to be heated. A water softener will greatly reduce sediment buildup in your water heater, which can dramatically lower water heating costs while also minimizing the amount of maintenance required on your unit.
  2. Increase the longevity of your appliances. In addition to your water heater, all of the other water-using appliances in your home (your dishwasher, washing machine etc.) can be damaged by hard water. Installing a water softener will not only allow those appliances to perform better, but will also increase their operating lives.
  3. Reduces the risk of plumbing clogs. When hardness minerals build up inside of your home’s plumbing system, they close up your pipes. This lowers your home’s water pressure and, in severe circumstances, can cause your pipes to clog up completely. A water softener will allow water to flow freely through your pipes and help you avoid potentially expensive calls to the plumber.
  4. Eliminates limescale. Limescale is the crusty white substance that builds up on sinks, faucets, tubs and other plumbing fixtures. This is a direct result of hardness minerals in your water. You can eliminate limescale and make your plumbing fixtures look much cleaner and more attractive by installing a water softener.
  5. Better for cleaning. Hard water does not lather well with soaps and detergents. This can make dishes come out cloudy and streaky after being washed in the dishwasher and clothes to get stained after going through the washing machine. A water softener will help make your dishes sparkle and your clothes look bright and clean.
  6. Healthier for your hair and skin. Not only does hard water lather poorly with soaps, but it also irritates your hair and skin. A water softener will fix this problem and keep your hair and skin feeling soft and smooth.
