Home Water Treatment & Water Softener Installation

Water Conditioning Systems & Services in the Lancaster Area

A proper home water treatment system in Lancaster County can extend the life of your main plumbing system and all plumbing fixtures.

Over time, untreated hard water can damage and diminish the life of appliances, fixtures, and surfaces. Hard water also dries the skin and scalp, wears out clothing and linens, and leaves spots on dishes.

A whole-home water conditioning system ensures you have clean, soft water for daily tasks like drinking, cooking, bathing, and cleaning. Additionally, conditioned water can lead to savings by decreasing the amount of soap, cleaner, and detergent you use.

To prolong the life of your home’s plumbing lines and fixtures, as well as appliances, we recommend installing a water conditioning system.

Water Softener Installation

Public water and well water in Lancaster County is hard (contains mineral deposits). A water softener aids in getting rid of these minerals that can accumulate in your pipes and appliances, causing them to deteriorate more quickly.

Lancaster County’s hard water is largely due to its geography, with groundwater flowing through mineral-rich limestone deposits. This leads to more calcium and magnesium in the water. Over time, these minerals can build up in your pipes, leading to clogs and reduced water pressure.

A water softener is a device that takes out minerals like calcium and magnesium from hard water. It makes the water softer by swapping these hard minerals for sodium or potassium ions using a process called ion exchange. This softer water then flows through your home, making daily tasks easier.

Improve Your Well Water Quality

If your home in Lancaster County uses well water, you’ve probably noticed issues like stains on sinks, spotty dishes, or dry skin. Lancaster’s well water tends to be harder than municipal water due to its mineral-rich underground sources.

Installing a water conditioning system softens the water and balances its pH. This improves the water’s taste and cuts down on buildup in pipes. Soft water also makes cleaning easier and is gentler to your skin, hair, and clothing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are signs of hard water?
Signs of hard water include white spots on faucets, soap scum in sinks, and clothes that feel rough after washing. These show that your water has too many minerals.

Does soft water reduce soap use?
Yes, soft water makes soap more effective, so you’ll use less for washing and cleaning. This can help you spend less on cleaning products.

Is softened water safe to drink?
Yes, soft water is safe to drink. It does not contain extra minerals that can affect the water’s taste and clog your pipes.

Will soft water affect my appliances?
Soft water makes your appliances last longer by preventing mineral buildup in pipes and machines like washing machines and water heaters. This allows them to function better over time.

How often should I maintain my water softener?
Check the salt levels in your water softener device once a month and add salt as needed. Follow the manufacturer’s advice on running cleaning cycles for the unit. It’s also smart to have a professional service the system every year.
