How to Choose the Best Water Softener System

One of the most important things to consider when deciding which water softener system to purchase is to find the correct size system for your particular home. There are many systems on the market these days that can treat water from 100 litres up to 1 million litres per day - so it's crucial to pick the correct one that you need!

Many people have fallen into the trap of choosing the wrong type of device for their home which can cause more problems than necessary. An incorrect water softener installed in a home can not just be a waste of time, it can cost a massive amount of money maintaining the device by replacing the cartridges and servicing the system when things go wrong. I have received many emails from people over the years who have installed the wrong device and had very bad experiences with their water supply. If this is you then you're certainly not alone - many people just want an expert opinion on the best water softener system to go for.

How to Choose the Best One For You and Your Family

The best way to decide which one to go for is to use a water softener calculator to accurately calculate the exact system that you home needs. Fortunately, there are some excellent tools available these days that will tell you exactly which one you need to be going for.

Discover Why Your Home May Have Low Water Pressure

One of the big problems with the design of modern faucets is that they do not work well with hard water supplies. The modern faucet design easily traps hard water minerals, blocks the water flow and causes low pressure problems. 

Years ago many standard kitchen, bath and shower faucets had rubber and plastic washers that contacted a circular valve seat inside the faucet. When the faucet was opened, the washer created a large area for the water to pass through. In some ways it was probably too much as the amount of water that passed through was huge. This is not good in the modern era of water conservation.

These days many modern faucets have no cartridges inside the body of the faucet. These cartridges replace the washers that were in the older type of faucet. Many modern faucets also have an aerator or a flow restrictor inside as well which have very small holes to add air to the water. The only problem with these new cartridge type faucets is that they create a very small area for the water to pass through and consequently trap any sediment of hardness minerals.

This often creates low pressure from the faucet as small pieces of sediment or other debris clog the passageway within the valve cartridge and/or the tiny orifices within the aerator and or a flow restrictor. This is an extremely common problem for many homeowners.

These low water pressure and flow problems are very common just after a water main break in a municipal water system. Sand, dirt and other debris can enter municipal piping systems when a water main fractures. Once the water main is repaired, this debris is transported through the water system and can end up in your home.

Any debris in the main such as sediment, soldering flux or shavings of pipework can end up in reaching faucets which again can block the flow. This causes a reduction in water pressure and allows hardness materials to build up.

A great way to deal with this is to consider a water filter. The industry standard these days is the reverse osmosis water filter than effectively removes nearly all of the unwanted sediment and debris as well as up to 95% of calcium and magnesium minerals. This not only helps to provide you and your family with pure, clean water but also prevents stubborn hard water stains from forming around the home.

If you require any help deciding on what water filter is the best one for you and your family, drop me an email at support@hardwaterstainstips.com and I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.
