Hard water refers to water that contains high levels of minerals and salts. These minerals and salts can be harmful to ourselves as well as damaging to the pipes that transport the water and to surfaces around the home. By using a water filter system, you can efficiently remove these minerals, leaving you with safe and clean water that can be used throughout your home. In this article, Hydrosmart discusses the benefits of using a water filtration system in domestic settings and how water softeners can help you turn unusable hard water into harmless clean water.
What is a Water Softener?
Simply put, a water softener is a water filtration system that removes any unwanted chemicals, minerals and salts from your water supply. In a domestic or residential setting, you can purchase relatively cheap and effective systems that work well in producing clean water for your home.
Benefits of Chemical Reduction and Water Filtration
There are several benefits to using a water filtration system in your home, including, but not limited to:
- Scale Prevention: Many of the minerals and salts found in hard water promote the build-up of calcium scale. Furthermore, they can also encourage the formation of rust and corrosion on certain surfaces. By removing these minerals, you can reduce these risks.
- Promoting Growth in Your Garden: Plants react to certain minerals and salts, and can have detrimental effects on their ability to thrive and grow. To keep a healthy and luscious garden, you must filter your irrigation water before applying it to your plants.
- Cleaner Clothes and Soft Garments: Your washing machine uses the same water that your garden hose does, so the water must be clean and free from harmful minerals and salts. Some of these minerals can cause discolouration, shrinkage or even damage your clothes.
