Why Use a Water Conditioner / Softener?

Do you have hard water? Hard water is water that has heavy mineral content, specifically calcium and magnesium. These minerals can wreak havoc on your water using appliances and fixtures, not to mention your hair and skin.

It's not hard to tell if you have hard water. You'll typically see spots on your dishes, you'll find yourself using more soap to get a decent lather in the shower and you'll likely notice build-up on your faucets and shower heads. While these things are annoying, what you probably are noticing is that your water using appliances are having to work harder which requires more energy consumption and reduces the life expectancy of those appliances which ultimately cost you significant money.

Scum Most visibly, metal ions react with soaps and calcium-sensitive detergents, hindering their ability to lather and forming a precipitate - the familiar "scum" or "bathtub ring". Presence of "hardness ions" also inhibits the cleaning effect of detergent formulations.
Scale Second, calcium and magnesium carbonates tend to precipitate out as hard deposits to the surfaces of pipes and heat exchanger surfaces. This is principally caused by thermal decomposition of bi-carbonate ions but also happens to some extent even in the absence of such ions. The resulting build-up of scale can restrict water flow in pipes. In boilers, the deposits act as an insulation that impairs the flow of heat into water, reducing the heating efficiency and allowing the metal boiler components to overheat. In a pressurized system, this can lead to failure of the boiler. The damage caused by calcium carbonate deposits varies depending on the crystalline form, for example, calcite or aragonite.

Installing a Pro Series Water Conditioner/Softener or Anti-Scale System is a great way to resolve these issues.

Pro Series Water Conditioning/Softening Systems
The water to be treated passes through a bed of the resin. Negatively-charged resins absorb and bind metal ions, which are positively charged. The resins initially contain univalent hydrogen, sodium or potassium ions, which exchange with divalent calcium and magnesium ions in the water. As the water passes through the resin column, the hardness ions replace the hydrogen, sodium or potassium ions which are released into the water. The "harder" the water, the more hydrogen, sodium or potassium ions are released from the resin and into the water.
The Pro Series Whole House Water Conditioner offers you an efficient and effective way to have great water throughout your home.

We recommend doing an annual service agreement so that we can come out, test your water, review the systems stored computer data and be sure your system stays in perfect working order.

Pro Series Anti-scale Water Softener Alternative
The Pro Series Anti-Scale System reduces the ability of water molecules to form crystals of calcium and magnesium scale, by helping to prevent calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate ions from coming together. This process, called Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC), results in the creation of microscopic crystals of scale (seed crystals), which rapidly form in the treated water, not on the contact surfaces of the water system, and are carried downstream in colloidal suspension through the water system until they leave with the water down the drain.

The Pro Series Anti-Scale System offers you an all natural method of water filtration that will help to condition your water, without a negative impact on our environment.
