Water Softener in Tampa
Hard Water in the Tampa Bay Area
If you have lived in the Greater Tampa Bay Area of Florida for any length of time you most likely will have noticed that we have hard water in this area. Hard water is the result of mineral buildup in city or well water, most commonly caused by minerals such as calcium and magnesium being dissolved into the water as it moves on or in the ground. How hard your water is would be determined by the amount of these dissolved minerals within your water.

Do you have hard water in your home or business?
Hard water can reduce the quality of water in your home or business and may also be driving up your water bills, cleaning costs, and more. The dissolved minerals contained within hard water causes you to waste soap and detergent. It also leaves scale deposits you can't get off dishes, coffee pots, faucets, shower heads, and glass shower doors, as well as build up inside your appliances and on your clothes shortening their life. Hard water can even dry and roughen your skin causing you to use lotions or moisturizers for smoother feeling skin.
The signs of hard water are not always obvious but can cause damaging effects to your plumbing. It can cause scale buildup from mineral deposits in your pipes and over time your pipes can clog, water flow can be reduced, and water pressure will be restricted. These effects could possibly lead to costly plumbing repairs. Therefore, adding a water softener to your home or business could in a way be considered preventive maintenance, and remember, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Here's a Look at a Few More Benefits of Soft Water
Just the savings from the grocery store will save you money. You use up to 75% less soap and fewer cleaning products with soft water. Considering the soap and detergent aisle is the most expensive aisle in the grocery store, your budget will immediately reflect the savings!
Diminished razor burn and less dry, cracked skin: Soft water causes the razor to glide more easily across the face and or legs. This, in turn, causes your razor blades to last longer. Hard water minerals can also build up on your skin. You know that “squeaky” clean feeling after a shower? Well that’s not the feel of your natural skin. Often it’s the result of minerals bonding with your soap to stick to your skin. The hard water washes away your body’s natural oils, soft water keeps you feeling smooth.
Your water heater will last longer. Scale build-up created by minerals will not take place if your water is soft. This adds life to your water heater. Also, if you have deposits in your water heater, the buildup on the bottom of your tank, we found it will cost you more to heat the water in your water heater with hard water then it will with soft water.
Your plumbing will last longer. Hard water can cause a buildup of scale from mineral deposits. Over time, pipes and fixtures can clog, water flow reduced, and you will see your pressure can be reduced. This doesn’t happen with soft water. Soft water is low in mineral content and therefore doesn’t leave deposits in the pipes. Think about what you use hot water for in your house. Now think what the hard water is doing to it.
