How Do Water Softeners Work?
A water softener is a plumbing product that softens water to remove minerals. Water softeners are filtering devices that remove minerals like magnesium and calcium. These minerals produce hardened water, which has a unique odor that is often detectable as an unpleasant smell throughout the home or building. Hard water minerals get removed as the water passes through the water softener. When the water passes through the softening system, it is much easier on the plumbing system as well as other home appliances.
If you’re looking for the best water softener for your space, our experts begin by determining the hardness of your current water supply to determine what would be the best softener. Grains per gallon is the standard unit of measurement. A brine tank is included in each water softening system. The brine tank holds all the salt. The water level in your water softener should always be a little lower than the level of salt in the brine tank. The water needs to come into contact with the salt to consume it and achieve the proper concentration of brine. As a result, the water softener’s tank is filled with hundreds of tiny beads, which we call “resin beads.” Hardness minerals bond to the resin beads when they come into contact with them. This removes the minerals needed to be removed as the water exits the tank.

Benefits of Water Softeners
Did you know nearly 85 percent of homes have hard water? If you live in the Lancaster, Ohio, area and want to enhance your water quality, you should call Lancaster Plumbing & Drain today. Check out our list of advantages of updating or setting up a new water softening system and filtration system:
Keeps Dishware Cleaner
Excess minerals in the water can cause spots on the bathtub, sink, dishes, faucets, and everything else your water contacts. These ugly stains are kept at bay by eliminating these elements from the water supply. It’s typical to observe a ring of dirt and grime encircling your sink and bathtubs since soap doesn’t rinse well with hard water. This soap will go down the drain much easier if you use softened water.
Saves Money
Soft water is free of the mineral ions that cause buildup in your plumbing system’s pipes and home appliances. This saves you money from costly repair bills. Mineral buildup in a pipe or drain narrows the available pathway for water to move through. This build-up requires higher pump pressure and progressively gets worse. It can also increase the amount of energy necessary to keep water hot or cold. The buildup eventually wreaks havoc on your appliances, which means repair or replacement costs for dishwashers, laundry machines, water heaters, ice makers and more.
Better Tasting Water
Although the purpose of a water softener and water purifier is about much more than flavor, one of the most common reasons a lot of people install them is to improve the taste of their water for drinking and cooking. Better-tasting water from the tap is one of the biggest advantages of putting a water filtration system and/or water softener. Food and beverages taste better when water is softened and/or purified.
