Your household requires a steady supply of clean water for washing, bathing, drinking, and other day-to-day needs. Installing a well on your property is an excellent first step, but you’ll need a softener system to purify the water. Here’s more about water softeners and their many benefits.

A Quick Guide to Water Softeners for Wells

What Are Water Softeners?

Water softeners use a salt-based system to remove minerals and impurities from “hard” well water. They filter out magnesium, calcium, iron, and other materials that may leave residue and damage your appliances. Water softeners are simple to install, low maintenance, and last several years before you need to repair or replace them. 

Why Are They Necessary?

Certain minerals in hard water tend to adversely affect your home ’s pipework, appliances, and fixtures. For instance, calcium and magnesium deposits collect in your pipes over time, resulting in leaks, clogs, and blackflow. They also tend to decrease the life spans of washing machines, dishwashers, ice makers, and other water-using appliances. Soft water is easier on your household systems and will ensure their continued functionality.

What Are Their Benefits?

Soft water tastes and smells more pleasant, making it better for drinking and cooking. It’s also good for your hair and skin, as water softeners remove minerals that would normally cause dryness. A lack of calcium and magnesium buildups will keep your plumbing and appliances in excellent shape, saving you time and money on repairs. Soft water also makes your home easier to clean since soap scum is less likely.
