Q: 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&rsquo;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>

Q: Is hard water bad for hair?

• <div><p>Just as hard water can wreak havoc on your skin by drying it out, it&rsquo;s also not great for your hair. That&rsquo;s because hard water won&rsquo;t rinse out shampoo and conditioner as effectively as soft water can. All that product buildup isn&rsquo;t good news for your hair, which can look dull and limp over time with hard water.</p></div>

Q: What are the side effects of drinking hard water?

• <div><p>Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.</p></div>

Q: Will installing a water softener in my house reduce calcium hardness in my pool?

• <div><p>Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won&rsquo;t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn&rsquo;t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-water-softener-installation-cost.htm"> water softener installation cost</a> is between <b>$200 and $6,000</b>.</p></div>

Q: Can you drain a water softener into a cleanout?

• <div><p>No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out <a href="https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/FLPC2023P1/chapter-6-water-supply-and-distribution#FLPC2023P1_Ch06_Sec608.14.1">Florida's Plumbing Building Code</a> as an example of what these restrictions might look like. </p></div>

Left dirty water at window bases in office so that the housekeeper had to clean up behind him. Also, payment was remitted in full, yet services were not fully rendered.
