What is the purpose of water softener and water conditioning systems?
By installing a
water softener and conditioning system, you are able to remove magnesium and calcium for your water supply. These
two components can be harmful to your household, including plumbing and
appliances that use water. The systems we offer soften, condition, and
filter your water.
What to expect after my system is installed.
Most water treatment equipment installed by Quality Home Services comes
with a 1-year free service policy. Should a concern arise during the first
year, please call us to schedule a check up at no charge. After the first
year, systems should be serviced annually. We remind customers via email,
text and mailers.
What is hard water made of?
Two common minerals give water its hardness, calcium and magnesium.
What are the effects of hard water?
Due to hard water being made of calcium or magnesium, as it dries, a residue
of these components may be left behind on surfaces. This is what soap
scum is in your tub, spots on dishes or countertops, and also crusty build
up in your pipes and water using appliances. Other items that may be affected
are a rough feeling on washed clothes and white residue on bathroom fixtures.
Does hard or untreated water harm my water heater?
Yes, hardness or calcium and magnesium can build up in hot water heaters
causing premature failure.
How often should you test your well water?
You should get your well tested so you know the quality of water your
family is using. Typically, well water should be tested at least once
a year, but if you’ve recently moved to a home that uses well water,
or have noticed a strange taste or smell in your water, you could benefit
from a water test. A well water test can identify if any volatile organic
compounds (VOC's) are present in your water as well as water hardening minerals.
Where do I get my well water tested?
Quality Home Services offers well water testing or we can help you locate a certified laboratory
where you can get your well water tested. Oftentimes, these places will
send you kits, either for free or at a cost, so that you can test your
water yourself. You’ll have to mail or drop off the results at the
laboratory of your choice. Water samples are typically time sensitive
and should be tested within 30 hours of being collected. After handing
in your water sample, you’ll typically need to wait a few days or
weeks to get your results back. If this sounds too complicated simply
call us and we can help you.
