Should You Invest in a Water Softener?

This entry was posted in Plumbing on by .

Are you contemplating the purchase of a water softener? Here in the greater Phoenix metro area, we have some of the hardest water in the country. This is a result of two common minerals that are naturally occurring in Arizona soil – magnesium and calcium. These minerals dissolve in our water and create those unsightly, white chalky deposits that we commonly see on our glasses, faucets and shower doors.

The solution for reducing water hardness is to install a water softener. At Cool Blew, we install water softeners for homeowners throughout the entire Phoenix valley. Along with helping you keep your glasses and bath fixtures free from those unsightly deposits, there are many other advantages to installing a water softener.

Protects Pipes

Those mineral deposits also collect and build up in your home’s pipes. This can result in frequent clogs and even corrosion which may lead to costly leaks. Converting hard water into soft eliminates the minerals before they enter into pipes.

Protects Your Clothing

Washing your clothes in hard water leaves them feeling rough and over time will damage them. With a water softener, you’ll be amazed by the softness and appearance of your clothing.

Protects Your Skin and Hair

The hot, dry desert air of Arizona is hard enough on skin and hair. Hard water only makes this worse, leaving your skin dull and your hair lifeless. Soft water results in softer, healthier skin and hair.

Better Tasting Water

A water softener will also eliminate the unpleasant smells and tastes that are inherent in water with a high mineral content. With a whole house water softener, you will have great tasting water from every faucet and eliminate the need for bottled water.

Extend the Life of Your Appliances

Appliances that use water, such as washing machines, dishwashers and refrigerators were not built for hard water use. Over time, they can be impacted with a variety of issues due to the build-up of minerals. This means that an appliance that would otherwise have a 10-year lifespan, may only last six or eight years because of problems caused by hard water.

Cost and Comfort

When you look at the advantages of a water softener, you’ll likely be amazed at how it can save you money on plumbing and appliances while improving the overall comfort and value of your home. Learn more today by calling Cool Blew.
