Water softening systems reduce the hardness of water by replacing the hardness minerals – calcium and magnesium ions (other cations will be removed as well such as ferrous iron) – with another ion, either sodium or potassium depending on whether you have filled the salt bucket with sodium salt or potassium salt. In cases of very high water hardness (25+ grains per gallon) salt softening is often the only practical solution. Hard water creates unsightly scale on water fixtures; coats water heating elements causing power loss and increased electricity consumption; wastes soap by reducing its lathering ability, and it leaves a residue on your skin and hair. Very hard water can also cause premature clogging in reverse osmosis membranes.

You have a lot to consider when selecting a new water heater for your home. You should choose a water heating system that will not only provide enough hot water but also that will do so energy efficiently, saving you money. This includes considering the different types of water heaters available and determining the right size and fuel source for your home.

Have you noticed a puddle developing in your yard for no apparent reason? If so, you may have a leaking or broken water line. Most people don’t realize that this water line – which runs from the public water main on the street to their private home – is their responsibility. This line can range from 20 feet to more than 200 feet depending on your property. Over time, unpreventable environmental conditions may cause your water line to deteriorate and/or crack. But did you know in most cases the homeowner is responsible for repairs?
