Why You Should Get a Water Treatment System

Monday, December 3rd, 2012

In Lansdale, many people have begun to realize the benefits of a water treatment system for their home. At Carney Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, we’ve been offering comprehensive water treatment systems for many years. We thought it would be helpful for our customers if we provided a short list of some of the important benefits to water treatment systems.

How to Tell if You Need Water Treatment

The only good way to tell if your home needs a water treatment is to conduct testing on the water at your house. Whether you get your water from a municipality or a well, proper testing will most likely show contaminants, PH imbalance and unwanted minerals in your water. Knowing what’s in your water is critical to your overall comfort and health.

Cleaning

You wash pretty much everything in your home with water. Your clothes, your dishes, your floors and your body all get washed with the water that comes into your home. When you have your water filtered and conditioned, soaps, shampoos and shaving creams will foam and lather better. Your skin will also most likely feel cleaner and softer. Another benefit is that laundry and dishwashers typically require less soap to properly clean.

Less Build-Up

One of the biggest problems for home plumbing systems and appliances is hard water. The minerals in hard water tend to build up inside pipes and appliances parts. This can cause clogs and blockages inside your pipes. In some cases, it can damage your equipment. In particular, mineral deposits and sediment can build up on the bottom of your water heater and prevent it from heating your water. This can also happen if you have a boiler in your home for heating.
