Is It Time For a Water Softener System?
Hard water affects countless property owners throughout Midland, TX; Odessa, TX; Pecos, TX and surrounding areas. This issue, however, can be difficult to pinpoint. When left unattended, a hard water supply can start to show signs throughout your home and day-to-day life. If these signs start to become apparent in your home, it may be time to invest in a water softener system. Signs include the following:
- 1. Buildup & Stains on Appliances and Surfaces – If you begin to see buildup or stains around your sink, bathtub, the inside of glasses or within pipes, tanks and nozzles, the water being fed throughout your home is most likely oversaturated with mineral deposits. These minerals include salt and calcium, which can damage these surfaces beyond repair if left unattended.
- 2. Dry & Itchy Skin – Hard water often causes dry skin and hair due to all the extra minerals coming out of your shower head. While soap and shampoo can help your skin retain moisture, hard water can often have a stronger effect.
- 3. Rising Utility Costs – If you notice that your water and gas bills are rising without any changes being made to your daily routine, there may be buildup in your pipes causing the system to run slower and work harder. If this is the case, investing in a water softening system might actually save you money in repairs, replacement services or energy costs in the long run.
Although there is nothing requiring homeowners in the area to soften their water, doing so can drastically change the comforts around your home, the quality of water received and efficiency of your water system. Water softening systems can also improve the lifespan of a water heater or tank overall while lowering the cost of monthly bills relating to it.
