Signs You Need a Water Softener in Ottawa

Although hard water is not a health risk, it can cause many problems, including mineral buildup in plumbing systems and poor soap or detergent performance. Water softeners are designed to reduce the hardness of water by removing certain minerals, particularly magnesium and calcium, in the water supply through a process of ion exchange.

If your water is from a well, you most likely have hard water. This does not mean if your water is from a municipal source you do not have hard water. How can you tell if you have hard water?

Signs that you may have a hard water problem in your home include:

• Your Water Has A Strange Smell or Taste –
  Hard water will make your water smell or taste metallic due to the extra amount of minerals in it. The metallic taste comes from the iron that is found in hard water. If you notice the smell or taste of your water being a little, “off” it could be due to hard water.
• Your Clothes Are Not Getting Clean –
  After you wash your clothes, if they still feel like there is some sort of residue or they feel grimy, it could be due to hard water. With hard water it will not rinse your clothes very well and can result in your clothing not feeling clean.
• Your Skin is Dry or Irritated –
  Hard water will often make your skin feel dry or itchy. This irritation of the skin is because of the extra minerals that are found in hard water. If you suffer from sensitive skin or have other skin issues, having hard water in your home make may your symptoms worse.

If you notice any of these issues in your home, you probably have hard water. Installing a water softener can improve the quality of your water and prevent these annoying problems.
