The Solution to Your Hard Water Problems Is Easy
Have you noticed a metallic taste in your tap water, or experienced dry, itchy skin after showering?
These issues are often caused by hard water in your home. It’s a common situation for Arizona property owners, but if left untreated, it becomes more than a minor nuisance. Hard water reduces the effectiveness of soaps and detergents, leading to increased spending on cleaning products. Over time, it can also create scale buildup in pipes and appliances, resulting in potentially expensive repairs.
There are several solutions available to Valley residents, but it helps to know more about the problem. Robins Plumbing, a woman-owned company, is on a mission to empower homeowners through education.
“We believe when people understand their plumbing systems, they make more confident decisions, and we’re here to guide them every step of the way,” says Billy Arevalo, a member of the Robins Plumbing marketing team.
What Is Hard Water?
Hard water poses no health risk to you or your family. However, its high mineral content can cause your plumbing and home systems to work harder than they should.
Here are some other signs of hard water to look out for:
* Shower heads and faucets may have a stubborn white or green buildup, reducing water flow.
* If hard water spots are left unchecked, they can etch your shower doors and cause permanent damage.
* Hard water can also cause buildup inside your water heater, which will dramatically shorten the lifespan of your appliance and other plumbing fixtures.
What Is the Solution?
The professionals at Robins Plumbing can set up a water softener loop. Think of it as a convenient detour in your plumbing. Before water comes out of your faucets and other appliances, it goes into a water treatment system. The treated water then enters your home plumbing system.
Robins Plumbing also offers a reverse osmosis system, a practical and efficient solution. This system filters chlorine, lead, fluoride, and other contaminants by passing water through a semi-permeable layer. The result is water that tastes just like your favorite bottled brand, enhancing the flavor of your coffee and tea and improving the clarity of your ice cubes. They offer two options: a 3-stage and a 5-stage model, each identified by the number of filtration phases.
“We typically recommend our 5-stage system for the highest quality,” says Arevalo. “RO systems are also a cost-effective alternative to bottled water. And when we say low-cost, we mean low. That’s an averaging of about $0.72 a day with professional maintenance, and as low as $0.30 a day with do-it-yourself care.”
