Hard water affects skin, hair, clothes, pipes and appliances. A softener increases the lifetime of both your plumbing system and appliances while giving you peace of mind that the soap is actually working when your skin feels soft, and your clothes are bright.These ill effects of hard water compels one to spend some of the money on installing a water softener which later proves to be beneficial as a softener is capable of softening the water to the extent that it causes no harm to the valuable things which could otherwise lose their properties.
What should I consider for when purchasing a water softener?
But before installing a water softener, one should be aware of the prevailing condition of water and other few things which include cost or we can say budget. Few things which determine the cost of a water softener are presented here.
Let us have a look on these factors:
1- Your Plumbing System
Your plumbing system is the first aspect that influences the price of a water softener.
What is the size of your plumbing system? Is a specific system required because of the size and nature of the connections?
The price of the water softener you'll require may be influenced by the state of your plumbing system. If your pipe has been severely damaged and can no longer withstand the minerals in hard water, you may need to invest extra money on a better water softener. This is why you should put one in as soon as possible, rather than waiting until your plumbing is completely ruined.
2- The Dimensions of the Device
The size of the water softener also has a considerable impact on the price.
So, what size are you looking for?
That will be determined by the type of home you have and the needs of your family. A couple in a one-bedroom apartment will not require as large a water softener as a family of five in a three-bedroom home. This is why, when choosing one of these devices, you must examine your family's demands. The bigger the device, the more people there are, because you'll need more water and a higher flow rate to cover all of the bathrooms. Before purchasing a water softener, speak with specialists; they will be able to tell you exactly what size you require.
3- Levels of Water
If you use public water, you can check the water hardness on your city's website. If you have a private system, such as a well, you may be required to pay to have your water tested. Not only for hardness, but also for more hazardous compounds such as arsenic, iron, lead, and others. You'll be able to treat your water once you know what's in it. To eliminate dangerous impurities, a larger water softener, an additional filter, or a reverse osmosis system may be required.
4- Options
Water softeners also differ in terms of the features they offer, and there are a few distinctions to be made. Older models regenerate by hand, and they are the most affordable. However, a metered water softener with timed regeneration can be worth the investment. Because the process is automatically metered and you don't have to perform it manually, this is obviously lot less of a hassle. Another great option to consider is a digital control head, which may assist you in setting up the device with ease and efficiency –– it also notifies you when the system requires maintenance, which relieves you of another burden.
