Water Softeners

If you’re a homeowner or business owner in Tennessee, there’s a good chance you’ve had a run-in with hard water. It’s one of those problems that sneaks up on you. You notice your glassware doesn’t sparkle quite like it used to, there’s a chalky buildup around your faucets, and your soap just doesn’t seem to lather the way it should.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to live with the side effects of hard water! A water softener installation can make all the difference. Call Mr. Rooter Plumbing or continue reading about how you can say goodbye to endless cleaning that always leaves something behind.

What is hard water, anyway?

Hard water is water with a high concentration of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium. These minerals are naturally picked up as the water passes through underground rock layers like limestone. While hard water is not harmful to your health, it can create a range of frustrating problems in your home.

Signs that you’re dealing with hard water

There are several tell-tale signs of hard water. Here are a few:

  • That chalky, cloudy film left on your glassware and silverware after washing is a dead giveaway that you have hard water. This residue called limescale can also build up on your faucets, showerheads, and inside your plumbing.

  • One of the biggest complaints from people with hard water is that soap and shampoo don’t lather properly. You might also notice your skin feels dry and sticky after a shower.
  • Hard water can also be tough on laundry. It can make your whites look dingy and cause colors to fade faster.
  • Over time, limescale buildup can cause clogs in your pipes, reduce the efficiency of water heaters, and leave stubborn stains in sinks, tubs, and toilets.

Hard water may seem like more of an inconvenience than anything else, but the long-term effects can be costly. When limescale builds up inside your plumbing, it restricts water flow and makes your appliances work harder than they need to. This can lead to higher energy bills and premature appliance failure.

The Solution: Water softener

Aptly named, a water softener is a device that removes the calcium and magnesium ions from the water and replaces them with sodium or potassium ions. This process, called ion exchange, makes your water “soft” and eliminates the issues caused by hard water.

Is it worth the investment?

A water softener installation in downtown Hendersonville is certainly an investment that quickly pays off. Not only will you avoid the ongoing frustrations caused by hard water, but you’ll also extend the life of your appliances, save money on energy bills, and use fewer cleaning products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs that I need a new toilet? 

If your toilet constantly runs, leaks, or clogs, it might be time for a replacement. Newer models are also much more water-efficient, so upgrading could save you money on your water bill. If you’re unsure, a plumber can help assess whether a repair or replacement is best.

Why is my garbage disposal jammed? 

Garbage disposals can get jammed if something hard or non-food items like silverware or bones get stuck in them. Turn off the disposal before trying to clear the jam, and never use your hands to remove the blockage. If you can’t fix it, a plumber can help.

What is a sump pump, and do I need one? 

A sump pump helps prevent flooding in basements by collecting and redirecting water away from your home. If you live in an area that’s prone to heavy rain or flooding, or if you’ve had water issues in your basement before, a sump pump can be a valuable addition.

How can I conserve water with my plumbing system? 

Installing water-efficient fixtures, fixing leaks promptly, and being mindful of water usage are all great ways to conserve water. You can also consider upgrading to a low-flow toilet or faucet to reduce water consumption.

Why does my drain smell bad? 

A smelly drain is often caused by a buildup of debris like food or grease, which can create bacteria and odors. In some cases, it could also be a sewer issue. Cleaning the drain or calling a plumber can usually take care of the smell.
