Here are four signs it’s time to hire a water softener installer…
Skyrocketing water bills
Getting utility bills is never fun and getting a high water bill is the worst. When you are serviced by hard water, your water usage will go up as pipes will have to work harder to allow flow through. Appliances like washing machines and dishwashers will have to push themselves more, leading to an increase in the amount of water usage.
Faded & dull clothes
Are your clothes and linens looking faded? A sure sign of hard water is dull and grey laundry. If you notice that your clothes feel less soft or are looking old it can be because minerals from hard water are building up within the fibres. To keep your fabrics looking and feeling their best, getting a water softener installed is definitely the best course of action.
Stains on bathtubs and sinks
Have you noticed white, scaly build-up on your sink or bathtub? Or perhaps you can see water spots which are difficult to scrub away? These stains are definitely a sign of hard water. Such stains appear when hard water evaporates, leaving behind the magnesium and calcium. Whilst it’s true that mineral residue won’t make you unwell, it looks unsightly and may cause drainage problems if the build-up is too much in your pipes.
Itchy skin
Hard water can cause itchy skin and dry hair due to the high concentration of magnesium and calcium that it contains. Whilst water is supposed to hydrate the skin, it has the opposite effect when your water is hard. The hard water leaves a residue on your skin which irritates it and results in excessive dryness and roughness. Hard water can even block your pores as well as causing blackheads and inflammation.
