Our Expert Water Analysis: Understanding Your Water’s Hardness Level

Accurate water analysis is the cornerstone of effective water treatment. At Royal Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, we understand that every home and business in Kearns, UT, has unique water quality needs. Our expert water analysis is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of your water’s hardness level, ensuring that you receive the most effective and tailored solutions for your water softening and filtration requirements.

Why Water Hardness Matters

Water hardness refers to the concentration of minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium, present in your water supply. While these minerals are not harmful to your health, high levels of hardness can lead to several issues that affect both your household and business operations:

• Plumbing Damage: Hard water can cause significant mineral buildup in your pipes, reducing water flow and increasing the risk of clogs and leaks.
• Appliance Efficiency: Appliances such as water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines work harder with hard water, leading to increased energy consumption and a shorter lifespan.
• Skin and Hair Health: Hard water can leave your skin feeling dry and your hair brittle, affecting your daily comfort and appearance.
• Energy Bills: Mineral deposits in heating systems can decrease efficiency, resulting in higher energy bills.

Understanding the hardness level of your water is essential for selecting the right water softening and filtration systems that will protect your investments and improve your quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Water Softeners & Water Filters

Homeowners often have questions about the distinctions and compatibility between water softeners and water filters. Here, we address the most common inquiries to help you make an informed decision about which solution best meets your needs.

What is the difference between a water softener and a water filter?

A water softener addresses hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium, while a water filter removes contaminants like chlorine, bacteria, and lead. Many homes benefit from both systems.

How long do water softeners and filters last?

Typically, water softeners last 10–15 years with proper maintenance, while filters may require more frequent changes, depending on usage. Our Royalty Club offers maintenance plans to keep systems in peak condition.

Which is better, a water softener or a water filter?

Both serve different purposes. A water softener specifically removes hardness-causing minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can cause scale buildup and reduce appliance efficiency. A water filter, on the other hand, removes contaminants such as chlorine, lead, and other impurities, improving taste and quality. Many homes benefit from a combination of both for comprehensive water treatment. For advice tailored to your needs, contact Royal Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning.

Does a water softener have a filter?

Yes, some water softeners include a pre-filter to capture large particles and sediment before the water enters the softening tank. This can help protect the softening system from buildup, enhancing its longevity and performance. If you’re looking for a softener with a built-in filter, we can help you find the best solution.

Should you put a water filter before or after the water softener?

It depends on your specific water quality needs. Generally, a sediment filter is placed before the water softener to protect it from dirt and debris, while additional filtration systems, like carbon filters for removing contaminants, are often installed after the softener to improve water quality for drinking and cooking.

Can I drink softened water?

Yes, softened water is generally safe for drinking. However, the softening process does add a small amount of sodium to the water, which may not be suitable for those with specific dietary restrictions. For these cases, a reverse osmosis system after the softener can remove added sodium, providing pure and safe drinking water. At Royal Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, we offer options to make softened water safe and convenient for your home.
