Are Minerals In Your Drinking Water?

Have you ever considered what's in the water you drink every day? While most of us trust our tap water to be clean and safe, it can contain various minerals that impact its quality and taste. At Rooter Hero Plumbing & Air, we offer reliable plumbing repair service and water filtration system installation so you can get the most from your system. Keep reading to learn more about the common minerals in drinking water and the most effective solutions to ensure your water is as pure as possible.

The Mineral Content of Your Drinking Water

Your local water supply is a cocktail of various minerals, predominantly calcium, magnesium, and iron. These minerals are naturally found in the environment and enter water sources through soil and rocks. While essential in small quantities, excessive amounts of water can cause several issues. Getting to know the specific minerals in your water is the first step toward reducing any negative effects.

Spotting the Effects of Hard Water in Your Home

One of the most noticeable consequences of mineral-rich water is hard water. This condition, primarily caused by calcium and magnesium, manifests in various ways. You might notice a film on your hands after washing, scale buildup on fixtures, or a decrease in soap lather. Hard water can also lead to dull laundry, spotty dishes, and reduced appliance efficiency. Recognizing these signs is key to identifying and tackling hard water problems.

The Development of Hard Water and Methods to Combat It

Hard water usually occurs because of certain geological characteristics of your area. Water absorbs minerals like calcium and magnesium as it percolates through the ground. Over time, this mineral buildup can clog shower heads, reducing water flow and leaving unsightly scale deposits on your faucets and tiles. It can lead to inefficiency in water heaters and boilers as well, as the accumulation of minerals insulates the heating element, making it work harder and consume more energy. Though these minerals are not harmful to health, they can create significant inconvenience and expense in your household. Addressing hard water effectively involves understanding its source and implementing the right solution.

Why Water Filtration system Installation?

The most effective weapon against hard water is a water filtration system. This device replaces hard minerals with sodium or potassium ions, transforming hard water into soft water. The benefits of softened water are numerous. It tastes better, is gentler on appliances and plumbing, and improves the efficiency of soaps and detergents. Installing a water filtration system is an impactful way to enhance your home's water quality.
