Water Softener Systems – Lancaster PA’s #1 Installers

May 7, 2020 By Brent D. Hershey Leave a Comment

water softener systems in Lancaster, PA.The term water softener seems a bit strange, right? What does “hard water” or “soft water” mean? Water gets “hard” when water passes through limestone, chalk, or gypsum deposits. Because of this, it has higher concentration of ions with calcium or magnesium. Although hard water typically has more mineral content than soft water, it’s less than ideal for cleaning or bathing. Plus, some people prefer to drink soft water anyway. If you live in Lancaster, you may have hard water problems. So, let us at Tri-County Water Services prove to you why we offer the best water softener systems in Lancaster, PA.

How a Water Softener Works

First, a company that offers the best water systems in Lancaster, PA will know the ins and outs of how a water softener works. Let’s explain briefly. A water softener uses basic chemistry to remove calcium and magnesium ions, and replace them with sodium ions.

  • Water softener systems contain a sodium-positive, porous plastic resin covered with molecules that attract and bind to positive ions dissolved in the water.
  • Water passes over the resin, the calcium and magnesium ions stick to the resin.
  • As a result, sodium ions release into the water.
  • Eventually, the resin gets saturated with calcium and magnesium ions. So, the unit rinses itself with salt water, displacing the calcium and magnesium, and covering it again with sodium ions.
  • Then, the salt water, calcium, and magnesium get flushed away. The process starts all over again.

Benefits of Water Softener Systems

Second, if mineral water is healthier for you, what are the benefits of a water softener? As we mentioned above, soft water is better for cleaning and bathing. If you ever notice white stains on your dishes and glass after going through the dishwasher, that’s from hard water. Additionally, if your faucets and shower build up white stains, that’s calcification from the hard water. With the best water softener systems in Lancaster, PA, you don’t have that problem.

Furthermore, calcium and magnesium make it harder for soap and detergent to break up dirt and oils. If you have to add a lot of detergent to your dishwasher or laundry to get everything clean, then you probably have hard water. So, if you want to save money on detergent and get that nice, clean feeling every time you shower, think about getting a water softener.
