An extended lake house getaway is a great way to spend summer. However, many homes that draw from the lake or nearby water supply have hard water, which isn’t ideal for drinking or bathing. As a solution, you can rent a water softener system for the season. Below, you’ll find the benefits you can expect.

3 Benefits of Renting a Water Softener System for Your Lake House

1. Improve Drinking Water

Hard water is drawn directly from an underground water source and is loaded with minerals. Many of these are good for the body, but it can also contain contaminants and other harmful chemicals. A water softener filters out contaminants and reduces the amount of naturally occurring calcium and magnesium, which contribute to hardness. All of the minerals and chemicals are removed, so you can enjoy a clean, safe source for drinking. This ensures you don’t have to spend money on bottled water for your lake house.

2. Preserve Plumbing

A lake house is a long-term investment, and you want to get the most from it. Having to replace the plumbing system is expensive, and a water softener system will reduce potential threats. Hard water can leave chemical deposits inside piping, faucets, drains, showerheads, and water heaters. These can create blockages and gradually wear down the plumbing. Treated soft water is easier on all aspects of a plumbing system.

3. Reduce Skin Irritation

Hard water can create a film of minerals, soap, and shampoo on your skin. It clogs pores and can lead to rashes and irritation. Soft water is gentler on the skin, so after a long day of relaxing in the sun or playing in the lake, you can take a relaxing bath or shower that won’t harm your skin.
