Our H2O Experts Can Help You Soften the Blow

Clean water is a necessity in your home—day in and day out. It should look, taste and even smell incredible when you, your family and your guests use it.

With that in mind, do you know if your water is hard or soft? We’re not talking about what it looks like or feels like when it flows out of the faucet. Water won’t really look or feel any different based on its hardness or softness. But the effects of hard water can certainly be felt in other ways.

At Cornerstone, we love educating people on the importance of water quality and how a water softener installation can make your water softer and your Florida home healthier.

Hard Water vs. Soft Water

What makes hard water “hard” is determined by its mineral content, mainly the amount of calcium and magnesium present in your water. Here’s how hard water may affect your home:

• White scale buildup and soap scum: No one likes feeling their home is unclean, especially after using soapy, hot water to scrub down items and surfaces that need it. But hard water makes it tougher for soap and other cleaning products to dissolve properly, leaving behind unsightly marks. Hard water will also leave minerals behind on fixtures and other places.
• Not-so-white laundry: After doing loads of laundry, you may find whites look grayer and colors look more faded than you remember. You also may notice that some fabrics feel “crunchy” and it’s nearly impossible to remove some stains and odors.
• Inefficient appliances: The mineral buildup in hard water can damage your pipes and appliances over time due to its corrosive nature. Plus, it can cause your appliances to work harder to function properly, leading to higher energy costs.
• Dull skin and hair: Bathing with hard water can dry out your skin and make your hair look dull. This leaves them more susceptible to damage over time.

Soften Up Your Water!

Hard water is a common problem. But, luckily, there are plenty of ways you can address it. One of the most efficient is a whole-home water softener, designed to eliminate the effects of hard water from your pipes. By softening your home’s water, you’ll benefit from:

• Effective cleaning with soaps and detergents
• Increased efficiency and lifespan for appliances
