Hard water affects everything it encounters, from your appliances to your hair and skin. If you frequently experience stiff clothing, residue on your dishes and irritated skin, it may be the result of using hard water. The minerals in this type of water can build up in your pipes, leading to issues down the line.
At Culligan of Mechanicsburg, we specialize in installing high-efficiency water softeners that improve home health and quality of life. But once we’ve done our job, what can you expect from the results?
How Long Does the System Take to Soften Water?
One of the great things about getting a water softener installed is that the effects are fast, especially for cold water. As you work through the water already in your system and water heater, you’ll begin to see the difference in your skin, hair, dishes and clothes. And within a few weeks, the softened water will break down and eliminate the mineral deposits that have affected your plumbing and appliances.
Will I Have to Complete Water Softener Maintenance?
Once installed, water softeners do most of the work on their own. Still, as with any home appliance, there are a few occasional maintenance steps you can take to keep it in good working order:
- Salt replacement: Salt is one of the main factors in water softening, and as it works, it will dissolve. Many families have to replenish the salt in their system’s brine tank monthly to maintain the best results, but the amount of salt used can be dramatically reduced with a high efficiency water softener — a family of four might use as much as 50 pounds a month with a standard water softener.
- Brine tank maintenance: Occasionally, you may need to clean out the brine tank itself. It’s best to do this just before replenishing the salt. All you need is a light detergent and a brush to clean out any residue.
- Resin tank maintenance: Water softener systems should also be professionally serviced. Call a professional to have them clean the resin tank and look over your water supply to ensure it’s still as soft as intended.
