If the water in your home is hard, Affordable Water Treatment in Gig Harbor, WA, recommends installing a water softener. By removing minerals from your freshwater system, you’ll not only enjoy soft water— you’ll have lower utility bills, cleaner dishes, and long-lasting water fixtures. You’ll also minimize the chances of repairing or replacing your plumbing system, ultimately saving you tons of money in the short- and long-term.

Purchasing a water softener will allow you to save more money in the following ways:

• Eliminate Minerals: When your home or office has hard water, it means it’s filled with ions made up of minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. Without a water softener, these minerals will not only line the walls of your plumbing but also damage anything it comes into contact with.
• Decrease Buildup: Over time, the minerals found in hard water accumulate in your shower heads, faucets, pipes, and other components of your plumbing system. By getting a water softener, you’ll prevent buildup and keep the water flowing freely throughout your property.
• Enhance Hot Water Heater: Just as minerals from hard water will build up in your fixtures and pipes, it won’t take long before they’ll accumulate in your hot water heater as well. Eventually, this will decrease the energy efficiency of your unit by making it more difficult to heat your water.

To save money on your utility bills and plumbing maintenance, consider equipping your residential or commercial property with a water softener. Find out more by contacting the family-owned and -operated team at Affordable Water Treatment; call (253) 858-7644 or visit them online.
