Effective Hard Water Solutions for Boise and Nampa Homes

What does it mean to call water hard? Hard water refers to water with large amounts of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals. Groundwater gets these metals through the surrounding rock and soil as well as the plumbing system itself. When your home is suffering from hard water you can find that the water is bad tasting and damaging to the various fixtures in your home. Hot water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines can wear out up to 30% faster when running with hard water.

How Does Water Softeners Work?

Water softeners work because calcium and magnesium ions in the water will switch positions with more ions that are more desired such as sodium. This removes many of the difficulties that are associated with hard water. Sodium, for instance, will not precipitate from pipes or react negatively to soap. The whole exchange does add a bit of sodium to your water, but it is not enough for you to detect a noticeable difference.

The tanks work through the use of negatively charged beads within it. When the water flows past the beads in the tank, the sodium ions replace the magnesium and calcium ions, which have weaker positive charge. After several rounds of this, the water is free and clear of many of the harmful minerals that create bad tasting and damaging water.
