Because water plays such a vital role in our day-to-day activities, dealing with hard water in the home or office can be one of the most frustrating things you can have to deal with. Hard water is the result of an excessive amount of calcium and magnesium in the water.
You might have hard water and not know it, or you might be noticing the effects and not know they are caused by hard water.
At Sarkinen Plumbing, water softening solutions have been helping customers in Vancouver treat hard water in their residential and commercial spaces, and we are well-equipped to do the same for you.
If you have hard water in your residential or commercial area, some of the annoying things you have to deal with are:
1) Dry skin and hair: Because hard water makes it hard to wash away soap from your body, using it to shower will leave you feeling slimy rather than refreshed after a bath. Over time, the buildup of minerals on your skin and hair will also make it dry and brittle.
2) Buildups and discoloration in your bathroom fixtures: You’ll notice that mineral deposits will start to appear in your sinks, bathtubs, and even your kitchen appliances, causing unsightly stains you’ll have to clean up all the time.
3) Increased water bills and other maintenance costs: When mineral deposits settle in your pipes, they reduce the diameter of the pipes, which means more pressure will be needed by your plumbing system, resulting in higher water bills. You’ll also have increased maintenance costs, including a consistent need for plumbing repairs (due to pipes corroding by minerals present in the water), spending more on soaps and detergents, servicing or replacing appliances like heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines more frequently.
4) Clothes wear out faster: Hard water can leave stains or patches on your clothes and sheets, making them appear faded more quickly.
If you have been experiencing any of these, you most likely have hard water running in your home. With our water softening service, you can save energy, time, and stress, and won’t have to deal with the effects of hard water.
