Water Softening and Conditioning
Hard Water requires the use of more soap and detergents
The quality of your water has a direct relationship to how much money you spend on cleaning products for your home. Have you ever poured detergent into your clothes washer and wondered why very few soap bubbles formed? That's because the mineral hardness in your water is making it impossible for lather to form. Most detergent manufacturers assume your water is hard. That's why over 60 percent of detergents are nothing more than chemical water softeners. That means you're getting less SOAP for your money!
With the Utah Water System, soap usage can be dramatically reduced. When conditioned water has no mineral hardness to react with or overcome, soaps create more lather and have greater cleaning power. According to a University of Wisconsin research study, approximately 12 - 14% of a families' grocery shopping budget is spent on soaps and cleaners. Let Utah Water Systems show you how the Utah Water System can pay for itself in a short time.
The U.S. Department of the Interior has established levels for the classification of hardness based on the grains per gallon (gpg) concentration of these minerals.
Hard Water reduces the efficiency of water-using appliances
Hard water reduces the efficiency of water-using appliances. Take your water heater, for example. Scale build-up from hard water coats the heater's coils. In one study where electric water heaters were operated and tested exclusively on hard water, they consumed nearly 21.5 percent more energy than water heaters using softened water. And gas water heaters consumed 30 percent more energy. (Water Quality Research Council {NMSU} 1981). Also, appliances operating with hard water may need to be serviced or replaced more often. Let Utah Water Systems help you discover how much hard water is costing your family in energy costs and appliance wear and tear.
The Solution
The solution is the Utah Water System. The Utah Water System will condition all of the water coming into your home. That means there will be no scale forming minerals to clog your pipes and your appliances will be free of solidified rock. Most appliance manufacturers recommend the use of a home water conditioner to help appliances operate more efficiently.
