Water softeners in North Las Vegas, NV homes provide an effective method of treating hard water. Hard water is when a large number of calcium and magnesium ions are present in the water coming in through the main water supply. When water is very hard, this can cause issues with your appliances and fixtures as mineral deposits build up over time.
Hard water can also be irritating to your skin, make your clothing wear out faster, and leave water spots on your dishes after they’re washed. Loyalty Plumbing Plumbing company in North Las Vegas can help you address your hard water concerns with the installation of a water softener.
"Always reliable! The only company I trust with our home's plumbing." - Jonathan C.
A water softener is a whole-house solution for hard water. The installation takes place at the point of your main water supply. Smaller units that don’t address all the water in your house can reside in areas like under your kitchen sink or bathroom vanity. Inside the unit are tiny resin beads that filter out minerals and other contaminants. There’s also a reservoir of salt pellets or potassium chloride pellets. You’ll need to refill these pellets periodically.
Some of the different features and benefits of a whole-house water softener include:
An increase in beneficial minerals
A reduction of calcium and magnesium
Less fixture and plumbing corrosion
Improved appliance efficiency
There are a few different models of water softeners available for residential use. One of the most common options is an ion exchange softener. This affordable model exchanges ions from the resin beads for the hard minerals that are present in the water supply.
If you’d prefer to use something other than salt, a salt-free unit crystallizes minerals, so they collect before they pass into your plumbing. This is a water conditioner rather than a softener though the concept and setup design are very similar. A softener tends to protect appliances more effectively, however.
The installation of a water softener to address hard water issues isn’t something that a homeowner should attempt. There are several key components of this system, including the main tank, a control valve, a brine tank, and different connections, that feed into your house’s water lines. If the installation is incorrect, it could lead to contamination issues or even water damage.
