Having a water softener is a necessity living in San Antonio if you want to protect your home’s value. Dealing with untreated hard water can be damaging for not only your home, but for your wallet too.
Did you get a tankless hot water heater in your new house? Thinking about putting one in? Live in San Antonio or surrounding area? We suggest putting a water softener in to help protect your new investment.
You read about both and it sounds like why am I carrying those bags of salt? Be careful do your research completely. Do not stop at what you want to hear. First let’s explain how they work.
A softener that uses salt has an ion exchange process. This means as the water passes through the resin one calcium ion is exchanged for one sodium. The calcium sticks to the resin bead and does not enter your plumbing coming into your house. When the resin beads are coated in calcium and can no longer hold any more calcium the unit goes into regeneration.
In San Antonio a water softener is a necessity not a luxury. San Antonio has some of the hardest water in the country. A water softener helps protect your largest investment, your home. Calcium adheres to all the pipes in the house, it will take time but it is inevitable it will happen.
No water pressure in your house? Do you seem to have pressure a few days and then it is gone again?
First if you have a water softener put it on by-pass. Then check to see if you have normal pressure. If the pressure went back to normal, yes there is problems with the water softener. If the pressure did not get better call the water company.
Do you really need a salesman to come to your house to determine what you need for a water softener? The answer is yes and no. A educated water softener company will already know the approximate hardness of your water. Every time a company installs a softener they test the water.
