Home Water Softeners: Why You Need One

Most people wish to live in a comfortable and efficient home; however, we often encounter challenges that can affect our daily lives without even realising it.

One of these “hidden” issues is linked to hard water.

Hard water (water with high mineral content) is a problem in many households in Perth and Western australia.

It can have detrimental effects on your plumbing, appliances, and even your skin and hair.

The solution? A home water econditioner.

Keep reading to learn more about hard water, what it is and why you may need a water softener to get rid of it.

Identifying the Problem: Hard Water

The first step in solving your hard water problem is identifying it.

Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium and is a common issue in many homes in Perth and Western Australia.

The minerals present in hard water leave deposits, commonly known as limescale, in your pipes and appliances.

Over time, the build-up of limescale can lead to decreased water flow, reduced appliance efficiency, and in turn, higher energy bills.

Hard water can also affect your daily grooming routine. That’s because the minerals in hard water can leave your skin feeling dry and your hair dull and lifeless.

If you’ve been battling with stubborn soap scum and mineral stains in your bathroom, chances are hard water is the culprit.

The Solution: Home Water Softeners

The solution to hard water problems is simple (and cost effective) – a home water econditioner.

It’s a simple appliance designed to tackle the challenges posed by hard water. It can be installed on your shower head or water mains, and works in the background to soften the water.

Soft water that not only feels better on your skin but also protects your appliances and plumbing from the damaging effects of limescale build-up.

Benefits of Using a Home Water econditioner

Extended Appliance Lifespan

One of the main advantages of installing a home water econditioner is the potential for significantly extending the lifespan of your appliances.

Think about items like dishwashers, washing machines and even kettles. They all run on water, and the build up in these items can be significant – resulting in a shorter lifespan. A water econditioner acts as a shield, preventing the accumulation of limescale and preserving the functionality of your appliances.

Reduced Energy Bills

Hard water can increase your energy bills. When limescale builds up in your water heater, for example, the system requires more energy to heat the water, resulting in higher bills. A water softener prevents this build-up, ensuring that your appliances operate at optimal efficiency and saving you money in the long run.

It’s also important to note that an Ecosoft home water econditioner doesn’t cost anything to run. Once the system is installed, it will soften your water for free for as long as it is installed – with no maintenance required!

Softer Skin and Hair

Hard water is often behind dry and irritated skin. On the other hand, soft water is gentler on your skin and hair, leaving you feeling refreshed after every shower. A great benefit of soft water is saying goodbye to mineral deposits on hair and the discomfort of dry, itchy skin.

Easy Cleaning

Hard water stains can turn cleaning into a pesky task. With a home water econditioner in place, you’ll notice a remarkable reduction in soap scum and mineral deposits.
