What happens when Softener tank collapses?
Whether you've recently moved into a new home or recently purchased a new water softener, you may be wondering whether it's time to update it.
What is the average lifespan of a water softener? Do they need to be maintained in any way? Is the water softening tank safe from exploding?
You want to get the most out of your investment. So, here are some suggestions for extending the life of your water softener.
What Is the Purpose of My Water Softener?
Because of the high proportions of calcium and magnesium in water, most of us have very hard water. Although these minerals aren't harmful, they can dry up skin and hair, create spots and soap scum to form on dishes and plumbing fixtures, make our water taste "off," and eventually clog our water heater.By filtering hard water through resin beads before it is delivered throughout the house, a water softener eliminates these annoyances. The beads cause an ion exchange, which turns hard water into soft water.
When it comes to water softeners, how long do they last?
Depending on the type and quality of water softener you purchase, it can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years.
A single tank electric water softener can last up to 12 years on average. However, no appliance is indestructible. If your system is more than five years old and you're experiencing some hard water symptoms, it's probably time to have it repaired. However, if your water softener is more than 10 years old, it may be time to replace it. The sooner you contact for a professional inspection, the more likely you are to be able to rectify an issue rather than risk a costly breakdown.While you may install your water softener and forget about it until anything goes wrong, following a few simple measures can keep it in good operating order and extend its life for years.
Collapsing of a Water Softener Tank:
Some tanks that are made up of fiberglass Media are limited to the amount of vacuum the tank can experience as per the manufacturer.The tank will leak and break if there is too much pressure in it. The pressure in the tank will build up if the T&P valve fails, resulting in a burst or explosion.If someone shuts down or shuts off the inlet water supply feeding the system, the water softening tank can collapse.
