The benefits of water softeners, reverse osmosis systems, and iron filters in your home

Water Softeners, Reverse Osmosis

At Harco Plumbing & Mechanical in Guelph, we know how important water is to you and your family. Whether you use it to clean your clothes or to cook dinner, water is an integral part of our lives.

That’s why you should consider getting products like water softeners, reverse osmosis systems, or iron filters that will ensure your home gets only water of the highest quality.

Water softeners

As their name implies, water softeners soften your water by eliminating minerals that cause it to harden, such as magnesium and calcium, says freedrinkingwater.com.

Hard water has many negative effects, says freedrinkingwater.com. It can shorten the lifespan of your water appliances (washing machines, dishwashers, coffeemakers, etc.) by creating a scale buildup, and cause your hair and skin to feel sticky and rough after a shower.

However, installing a water softener in your home can alleviate these problems, as well as lower your monthly energy costs, says freedrinkingwater.com. (For maximum effectiveness, you should have your water softener installed near your water heater, says hometips.com.)

Reverse osmosis systems

A reverse osmosis system is, essentially, a home water purification system, says waterbenefitshealth.com.

When used in the kitchen, it purifies your water by removing several unwanted elements, including copper, lead, sodium, arsenic, and nitrates, says waterbenefitshealth.com. This leaves you with healthy drinking water.

Iron filters

According to aQuatell Canada, high levels of iron in your water can cause stains to appear in your bathtub, toilet, sink, and other fixtures.

An iron filter installed on your water main, however, can eliminate these problems by lowering the amount of iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulphide in your water, says aQuatell Canada.

At Harco, our team of highly skilled plumbers can outfit your home with a top-of-the-line water softener, reverse osmosis system, and/or iron filter. Just give us a call. You’ll be glad you did!
