If you’ve noticed any of the above signs, it’s time to stop blaming your plumbing and appliances and check your water quality. Most of the water in Virginia Beach is classed as moderately hard, which means it has a relatively high mineral content. It’s still safe to drink, but it can wreak havoc on your plumbing and appliances.
We offer water softener installation throughout Virginia Beach, and can also help with water softener repair and maintenance. So, if you want a new water filtration & softening system or you’re having issues with an existing system, give Mr. Rooter® a call.
Benefits of a Water Softener System
A properly installed water softener system offers a significant water quality improvement, which could provide various benefits for you and your family.
Your water will taste better, your appliances will have fewer issues, and you’ll greatly extend the lifespan of your water heater. There are also some more surprising benefits. For example, high levels of dissolved minerals like magnesium and calcium react with soap, giving you soap scum instead of bubbles every time you try to lather.
Choosing the Right Water Softener
Not sure which water softener is right for you? Our technicians will conduct a few tests and ask various questions to help you choose the right model. They’re local, and they’ve fitted countless water softener systems in Virginia Beach, so they have a good idea of the type/size of system that will work best for your home.
For example, salt-based water softener systems use an ion exchange to remove hard minerals and are especially effective in homes with very hard water. Salt-free systems crystallize the minerals to prevent buildup, and are more cost-effective and eco-friendly.
