What does hard water feel like?

• <div><p>Hard water doesn’t hurt, but it might feel more abrasive, especially if you have sensitive skin. It’s also about how your skin feels <i>after</i> bathing. You might feel as though you have a sticky film over your body because you do—it’s all that soapy residue left behind because the hard water can’t rinse it off completely.</p></div>

Can I soften hard water?

• <div><p>Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-water-softener-installation-cost.htm">Water softeners cost</a> anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required after installing a water softener?

• <div><p>Routine maintenance involves recharging the resin bed with salt or potassium, cleaning components, and periodic inspection.</p></div>

Q: Is hard water healthier than soft water?

• <div><p>Most experts agree there&rsquo;s not much difference health-wise between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hard-vs-soft-water.htm">hard water versus soft water</a>. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp.

Watervheater was replaced in a timely manner and Tommy was very informative and friendly. He was also instrumental in getting an electrician to replace the power line for the water heater.

Irrigation lines installed to redirect water from gutters. He also installed drainage away from our gas tank that we were not aware of, but needed to be done due to standing water. Austin was very helpful and I would recommend to anyone that needs these services.

Original diagnosis was that it was a broken valve. However it turned out to be a frozen water line. We were only charged for the service call.
