How a Water Softener Works

A water softener is a machine that houses a chemical process that replaces hard water minerals in your water supply with sodium ions. These machines are loaded with specialized resin pellets. As water flows over these pellets, the minerals are extracted from your water and replaced with sodium ions due to a naturally occurring chemical reaction. 

After a while, you simply have to flush your water softener to regenerate the resin and eliminate any collected mineral waste. The more often you regenerate your water softener, the longer the resin will last.

The Benefits of Water Softener Installation

There are truly endless benefits of water softener installation, but some of the most popular and important benefits water softeners have to offer include:

  • Eliminate Dryness of Skin and Hair: Mineral content in hard water can affect your skin and hair by drying it out. Having Route 66 Plumbing install a water softener in your home will help rid your water of excess minerals and leave you with skin and hair that is much healthier.
  • Reduces Lime Build-Up: Hard water produces limescale on plumbing fixtures, which can be quite a burden. Water softeners will eliminate limescale build-up on plumbing fixtures, showers, sinks, and tiles.
  • Cleaner Dishware: Do your dishes always seem to have water spots no matter how well you attempt to clean and dry them? Having Route 66 Plumbing install a water softener in your home can help eliminate this issue with softer water that doesn’t leave spots upon drying.
  • Softer Clothing: Hard water can leave your laundry feeling scratchy, rough, and faded. Softening your water gives you softer laundry and longer-lasting clothing.
  • Extends Plumbing Lifespan: Water softeners can help extend the life of your plumbing system by eliminating rust, leaks, and mineral buildup inside water lines. Enjoy pipes that last longer and perform better simply by installing a softener system. 

How Often Should You Service & Replace Your Water Softener?

A water softener should be serviced every year by a professional plumber. If you don't have your water softener serviced annually, you run the risk of having it fail when you need it most. A plumber will service your water softener by inspecting it, cleaning it, and replacing any parts that may be failing.

A water softener will usually last you anywhere from 10 to 15 years when properly cared for. If you notice that your water softener is leaking, not regenerating, or not softening your water, it may be time to replace it.
