If the water you use in your Washington, PA, home comes from a well water system, you’re likely no stranger to hard water stains in your sinks, bathtubs, and toilets. Although hard water isn’t harmful to use or consume, it doesn’t do your plumbing fixtures any favors. That’s why professional plumbing services recommend well water treatment systems to combat the effects of hard water. Here are some of the most effective treatment options.
Water Softeners
Many households in the region with private water systems like wells use water softeners to prevent lime scale buildup in their home’s water pipes and other hard water problems. Traditional water softeners use salt to soften the water. While traditional softeners get the job done, you must keep the system filled with salt for it to work effectively. Additionally, traditional water softeners undergo a regeneration cycle once a day, which wastes water. Consider a salt-free water softener if you want to soften your home’s water without spending money on salt and lugging 40-pound bags of salt to your softener.
A salt-free softener effectively treats private water systems. This well water treatment option uses electronic scale control technology, so no chemicals or salt are required to do its job. Some benefits of a no-salt conditioning system include:
- Reduced home utility cost — no unnecessary water waste
- Extends your water heater’s lifespan
- Doesn’t require transporting or lifting heavy salt bags
- Prevents clogged shower heads
Reverse-Osmosis Well Water Filtration System
A reverse-osmosis well water filtration system is one of the most effective systems for removing sediment and other chemical contaminants from your home’s water supply. A reverse-osmosis system can also remove parasites, lead, viruses, bacteria, nitrates, mercury, and other particulates from the water. Many people who install this system in their homes also report better-tasting tap water.
