Water Conditioning - Why You Need Quality Water in Your Home

Many water supplies contain hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium). These minerals form a scale and create problems in water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, coffee makers, humidifiers and plumbing systems. A modern and efficient water softening system provided by your Collin County plumber eliminates hard water problems. It removes calcium and magnesium from your water supply by filtering it through a resin softening medium. Salt is used to revitalize the system to provide soft water for your daily needs.

Water softeners combat this nuisance by eliminating the minerals that cause hard water. The most common kind of water softener is a mechanical appliance plumbed directly into the home's water supply intake. The water softener exchanges calcium and magnesium with sodium in a process called ion exchange. The water softening system consists of a mineral tank and a brine tank. The water supply pipe is connected to the mineral tank so that water coming into the house must pass through the tank before it can be used. The mineral tank holds small beads (also known as resin) that carry a negative electrical charge. The positively charged calcium and magnesium (called ions) are attracted to the negatively charged beads. This attraction makes the minerals stick to the beads as the hard water passes through the mineral tank.

You'll realize substantial savings: no more purchased bottled water; an extended life for your appliances; savings on soap, shampoo, and laundry detergent; and significant savings of time and effort cleaning soap scum and hard water deposits in the bathrooms and kitchen.

Some of the benefits of conditioned water are immediately obvious, such as better tasting water, whiter laundry and cleaner tubs and fixtures. Other benefits are less obvious, such as an end to mineral buildup in pipes, which improves the efficiency of your home's plumbing and appliances. Best of all, you'll enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your family's water has been treated for maximum purity.
