Is hard water bad for you?

• <div><p>Hard water isn’t necessarily bad for you. In some ways, it’s good for you. If you’re deficient in magnesium or calcium, hard water can give you a mineral boost that you wouldn’t get with soft water. However, this is where the benefits of hard water pretty much stop. Hard water can cause many minor inconveniences and lead to costly, premature replacements of your water-using appliances.</p></div>

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, “gradually the softer water will dissolve limescale scale deposits and remove the problem entirely.” Installing a water softener—or water descaler—will also help prevent new scale deposits from forming.</p></div>

What is the life span of a water softener?

• <div><p>Water softener life spans range from 10 to 25 years, with most lasting around 15 years on average. After the 10-year mark, you may see your softener’s performance diminish as it progresses in age. Proper water softener maintenance can impact <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-do-water-softeners-last.htm">how long your water softener lasts</a>. Likewise, a home with very hard water or a high demand will put more demand on your softener, which in turn shortens its life span.</p></div>

The shower wasn't getting any hot water. They couldn't fix it. They couldn't fix the bathroom faucet leak. They did fix the one outside. Their competence was questionable.
