Water Conditioning FAQs for West Bend, WI
Answers to common questions about water softeners, purification and other water conditioning equipment for homes in West Bend and rural Washington County.
How does a water softener work?
A water softener uses a process called ion exchange. Hard water passes through a tank of resin beads that hold onto calcium and magnesium and release sodium or potassium in their place. Over time the beads fill up, so the softener regenerates by rinsing them with salt water from its brine tank and flushing the minerals down the drain. Our water conditioning work for homes and businesses uses Jaws equipment.
Why would a home need an arsenic removal unit?
Arsenic occurs naturally in the bedrock under parts of Wisconsin and can dissolve into groundwater, so it is mainly a concern for homes on private wells. It has no taste, smell or color, which means a home can have it without anyone noticing. When arsenic is present, a dedicated arsenic unit is designed to reduce it in the water your household drinks and cooks with.
What is the difference between a water softener and a water purification system?
A water softener targets hardness minerals that cause scale on fixtures and inside appliances. A water purification system is designed to reduce other things in the water that affect taste, odor or safety, often at a single kitchen faucet used for drinking and cooking. Many homes benefit from both, with a softener treating all the water and a purification system handling the drinking water.
How much maintenance does a water softener need?
Most of it is simple. Check the salt level in the brine tank every month or so and refill it before it runs low. Now and then, look for a salt bridge, a hard crust that forms above the water and keeps the salt from dissolving, and break it up gently. Homes with iron in their water may also need a resin cleaner from time to time to keep the softener working well.
Can water conditioning help my water heater and fixtures last longer?
It can help. Hard water leaves scale inside water heaters, on faucet aerators and showerheads, and in dishwashers and washing machines, which makes them work harder over time. Softened water greatly reduces that buildup. If you are already replacing a unit, our water heater installation and repair service pairs well with a softener to protect the new tank from the start.
