Water Softener Installation and Replacement in Boise

Hard water can leave deposits in pipe, eventually causing blockages. It can also damage appliances and leave spots on dishes and other kitchenware. At Express Plumbing Heating & Air we specialize in water softener installation that can mitigate these and other problems. Water softeners remove common minerals that lead to hard water including calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese. We install the leading brands of water softening systems with the latest technologies to remove these and provide Boise homes with soft, clean water.

How Do Water Softeners Work?

Rather than traditional filters, which don’t trap water hardening minerals, water softeners use resin beads coated with sodium. As hard water flows through, the sodium is swapped with ambient minerals and discharged in trace amounts as part of a molecular reaction called ion exchange.

The minerals are stored in a water softener media tank. Eventually, the system stores as much as it can; when it reaches this point depends on the water hardness level and water flow volume. Minerals are then removed in a flush and backwash cycle. Salt-based units use salt water to clean the media, most of which is flushed before entering your drinking water; the unit will then continue to remove minerals from the water supply.

Benefits of Water Softeners

Water softeners have many benefits, which include:

Cleaner dishes: A water softener prevents hard water spots from forming

Better baths and showers: Hard water minerals make soap less effective, so softer water is better for your hair and skin and improves soap’s bacteria-killing properties

Fewer deposits on clothes: Mineral deposits can collect on clothing and cause colors to fade over time

Drinking water tastes better: Hard minerals can leave water tasting metallic or chalky

Save money: Calcium, a common hard water mineral, builds up in hot water tanks too, making the appliance work harder, so a softener can reduce water bills

Less buildup in pipes: Mineral scale can clog and block pipes, which causes all kinds of plumbing problems

However, water softeners only remove certain minerals, not harmful contaminants such as lead or chlorine. They can also introduce some sodium into drinking water, which can be an issue for someone on a low-sodium diet.
