Hard vs. Soft Water: What’s the Difference?

Hard water gets its name from containing greater amounts of dissolved calcium, magnesium, and other minerals, whereas soft water has smaller amounts. Often, the type of water you have is affected by your property’s location, with different regions of the country experiencing different levels of water hardness.

While hard water is not bad for your health, it can be frustrating to deal with. For example, it can leave mineral deposits on your dishes, inside of your plumbing, and even on your hair and skin when you take a shower. It can also take longer to clean household items, as soap scum is formed when soap reacts with the higher level of calcium in the water.

Alternatively, when you’re washing items with soft water, they’re easier to clean due to less soap scum. Dishes will not appear as cloudy as they sometimes do when washed with harder water, and your pipes won’t experience a buildup of mineral scale. If your house has hard water, you can easily convert it into soft water with the help of a water softener. There are a variety of benefits to having soft water in your home.

Benefits

The Benefits of Water Softeners

Water softeners make a positive impact on a variety of household activities, from washing dishes to taking a shower to drinking water and more. These systems make wonderful additions to Columbus, Ohio homes.

When hard water is heated, solid mineral deposits can form and create a layer of buildup on the inside of your hot water tank and plumbing pipes. This scale causes your equipment to work harder in order to accomplish its normal tasks, making it less efficient and costing you more money. It can also shorten the lifespan of the equipment and clog pipes. Softener systems prevent scale from forming and keeps your equipment operating efficiently, helping you save money.

Have you ever run the dishwasher just to find that your “clean” dishes have a film or spots? This residue is caused by the minerals in your water, and it can be hard to remove. This residue can form when hand-washing dishes as well. With water softener systems in place, the minerals are removed from your water supply before the water reaches your dishes, so there’s no mineral buildup or unsightly residue.

Showering or bathing with soft water will leave you feeling softer and cleaner than if you were to shower with hard water. That’s because soap scum forms when soap interacts with the minerals in harder water. These minerals can also dry out your skin by removing some of its natural oils. Alternatively, soft water forms a nice lather rather than scum when it mixes with soap, and can even help your skin retain moisture for softer, healthier skin.

A higher level of minerals in your water can make household cleaning a longer, more difficult process. Appliances as well as dishes run through the dishwasher can end up with a chalky residue, and hand washed dishes can feel slimy due to soap scum. You may also notice a buildup of minerals on faucets and soap scum in the shower. Hard water can also take a toll on your water pressure, as mineral scale lining the interior of your house’s pipes can make it more difficult for water to travel through. Cleaning with soft water can keep appliances and dishes clear of residue and soap scum as well as keep your water pressure at a normal level.

Some people find the taste of harder water to be unappealing due to the calcium, magnesium, and other minerals. Installing a water softener can remove those minerals, giving you improved drinking water quality in terms of flavor. Additionally, soft water can help prevent mineral deposits from building up inside of coffee makers, which can negatively affect the taste of your beverage. Soft water helps keep your coffee and drinking water tasting delicious.

Learn More About Our Water Softening Systems

Softener systems can make a huge difference for how you experience the water in your home. Here’s how they work. Softener systems feature two connected tanks: a water softener tank and a brine tank. Your house’s water line supplies water to the softener tank, which is lined with resin beads. In a process called ion exchange, these negatively charged beads attract the positively charged mineral deposits in the water, pulling them away from the rest of the water. The resulting soft water is then available for use throughout your house.

After a while, the resin beads will be too coated to attract more mineral deposits, and the tank must be cleaned. This regeneration process consists of salt water from the brine tank entering the softener tank and rinsing the mineral deposits off of the resin beads. This water is then disposed, and the system returns to softening your water.

Another way to soften the water in your home is by using an electronic water conditioning system. Rather than using salt, these electronic systems use electricity to create a magnetic field, which water flows through as it enters your house. This magnetic field alters the water’s chemistry and prevents mineral deposits from forming scaling inside the pipes and in other areas of your home.

The system that’s best for you will depend on your specific water filtration and water purification needs.
