Benefits of Soft Water in Your Indiana Michigan Home

If you live in the Michiana area, you most likely have hard water in your home. That includes homes on city water or well water. Hawkins Water Tech is the only water treatment company in the Michiana area offering custom, hard water solutions from Hellenbrand & Puritan to fit your home and your water. Because we’re not a national franchise, we are truly a local, family-owned company whose number one priority, is you.

Here are a few Advantages of Soft Water

1. 1. Having soft water saves you money. According to a study by the Battelle Institute, 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!

1. 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 can diminish, and water 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.
2. Your hot water heater will last longer. Scale and lime buildup created by minerals will not take place if your water is soft. This adds life to your hot water heater. Also, if you have deposits in your hot water heater, the University of New Mexico found it will cost up to 29.6% more to heat the water that your family does use.
3. Diminished razor burn and less dry, cracked skin: Soft water causes the razor to glide more easily across the face. This, in turn, causes your razor blades to last longer. Hard water minerals can also buildup 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.
4. Water-using appliances will last longer. Whether it’s your coffee pot, your humidifier, or your hot tub, your hard water is causing a buildup of minerals and reducing the life of these products.
