If you’re a homeowner anywhere in the Inland Northwest, you may have noticed the effects of hard water in your home. Hard water can cause a variety of issues, from mineral buildup in your pipes and appliances to dry skin and hair. Fortunately, Bulldog Rooter® offers a solution: water softeners. In this article, we’ll explore what a water softener is and how it works to improve the water quality in your Spokane Valley home.
What is a Water Softener?
A water softener is a filtration system that removes minerals like calcium and magnesium from your water supply. These minerals are responsible for the “hardness” of your water, which can lead to a range of problems in your home. By installing a water softener, you can enjoy the benefits of soft water, including:
- Cleaner dishes and laundry
- Softer skin and hair
- Longer-lasting appliances
- More efficient plumbing systems
How Does a Water Softener Work?
Water softeners work by exchanging the hard minerals in your water with sodium ions. The process occurs in a few simple steps:
- Hard water enters the water softener tank, which is filled with resin beads.
- As the water passes through the resin beads, the hard minerals are attracted to the beads and stick to them.
- The resin beads release sodium ions into the water, effectively “softening” it.
- The softened water then flows into your home’s plumbing system for use.
Over time, the resin beads become saturated with hard minerals and need to be recharged. This process involves flushing the beads with a salt solution, which washes away the hard minerals and replaces them with sodium ions. Most water softeners are designed to regenerate automatically, ensuring a continuous supply of soft water for your home.
