WATER FILTERS & SOFTENERS
In Massachusetts, the quality of your water can greatly impact your home and health. Hard water, high in minerals like calcium and magnesium, can cause buildup in pipes, reduce the efficiency of appliances, and leave skin feeling dry. Furthermore, various contaminants may also be present, affecting taste and safety.

What can happen to pipes and fixtures without a water softener:
Mineral Build-Up: Hard water can leave deposits of calcium and magnesium in your pipes, reducing water flow and increasing the risk of blockages.
Fixture Deterioration: Faucets, showerheads, and other fixtures can suffer from limescale buildup, leading to decreased performance and a lackluster appearance.
Water Heater Inefficiency: Hard water can shorten the lifespan of your water heater by accumulating sediment in the tank, reducing its efficiency and increasing energy costs.
Pipe Corrosion: Over time, the continuous flow of hard water can corrode pipes, leading to leaks and costly repairs.
Appliance Wear: Appliances that use water, like dishwashers and washing machines, can wear out faster due to hard water, necessitating more frequent replacements or repairs.
Staining: Hard water can leave unsightly stains on sinks, bathtubs, and toilets that are difficult to remove and can permanently mar the appearance of your fixtures.
Investing in a water softener and filtration system can protect your home from these adverse effects, ensuring your pipes and fixtures remain in top condition while also improving the quality of your water.
Recognizing the signs of hard water in your home can help you take timely action to mitigate its effects. Here are key indicators to watch for:
Soap Scum Accumulation: Difficulty in getting soaps and detergents to lather, leading to more usage and soap scum buildup on fixtures.
Spotty Dishes and Glassware: White, chalky spots on dishes and glassware after washing, indicating mineral deposits left by hard water.
Dry Skin and Hair: Hard water can strip moisture from your skin and hair, leaving them feeling dry and itchy.
Faded Laundry: Clothes and linens that come out of the wash looking dull and feeling rough, with colors fading faster than expected.
Reduced Water Pressure: Mineral buildup in pipes can restrict water flow, noticeably reducing water pressure over time.
Heating Inefficiencies: Hard water can lead to scale buildup in water heaters, making them less efficient and increasing energy costs.
Fixture Damage: Faucets and showerheads may show signs of white, crusty deposits around spouts and nozzles, hindering water flow and aesthetics.
Equip your home with the right water softening and filtration system to protect your appliances, enjoy cleaner water, and improve your overall quality of life. Contact Northern Plumbing & Heating to learn more about how we can enhance your water quality in Massachusetts.
