Hard water is high in calcium, magnesium, and other minerals. Without water softeners, it can have negative effects on your restaurant’s operations, potentially costing you money. Below are a few reasons why water softeners can boost the health and success of your business.

How Water Softeners Benefit Restaurants

1. Minimize Plumbing Problems

Hard water is rough on your plumbing. It creates mineral deposits in the pipes that can trap debris and create clogs. It can also cause the pipes and connections to corrode. With a softener in place, your restaurant can avoid issues such as sluggish draining, leaky plumbing joints, and frequent clogs.

2. Improve Customer Dining Experience

Hard water can leave residue and stains on glasses and give drinking water a foggy appearance, all of which are off-putting and make the dishes seem like they weren’t properly cleaned. With a softener, customers will have shiny silverware and spot-free glasses and plates. They’ll also enjoy better-tasting drinking water.

3. Extend Lifespan of Water-Based Appliances

Beyond improving water quality, a softener can prevent the premature failure of your water-based appliances. Hard water’s mineral content can collect on internal parts of appliances and its abrasive nature can wear them down.

With a softener, your dishwasher, coffee pots, spray nozzles, toilets, and even your water heater will run more efficiently and for longer, minimizing the need for frequent repairs or early replacements.

4. Cleaner Restrooms

Hard water will leave discolored stains on toilets and sinks that are difficult to remove. These stains can give your bathrooms an unpleasant appearance that may turn customers away. Toilets and sinks will be easier to make sparkling clean, and stains won’t build up as quickly, making them welcoming for your customers.
