Get matched with top water softener pros in Harrison, AR

Q: Do water softeners remove scale?

• <div><p>Yes, a water softener can remove scale deposits. According to the <a href="https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/articles/reasons-every-home-should-have-water-softener">U.S. Department of Energy</a>, after you add a water softener to your home, &ldquo;gradually the softer water will dissolve limescale scale deposits and remove the problem entirely.&rdquo; Installing a water softener&mdash;or water descaler&mdash;will also help prevent new scale deposits from forming.</p></div>

Q: Does water with calcium buildup taste different?

• <div><p>While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.</p></div>

Q: Are shower water softeners really effective?

• <div><p>Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn&rsquo;t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time. </p></div>

Q: Is hard water bad for your health?

• <div><p>Hard water is not considered unhealthy and is safe to drink, cook with, and bathe in. It doesn't pose a risk to your physical health and can even help you get enough essential minerals like calcium in your diet. However, it can negatively affect skin and hair. Using hard water for washing can contribute to dry skin, an itchy scalp, and may worsen conditions like eczema by altering the pH balance. Additionally, some people do not like the taste of hard water.</p></div>

Q: Should I hire a professional or replace a water softener myself?

• <div><p>If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. </p><p>That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.</p></div>
