If you’re tired of water spots on your glassware and shower doors, calcium deposits on your showerhead or a hot water heater that doesn’t heat water enough, it’s time for a whole-house water treatment system from Roto-Rooter.
“Hard” water – which is common in California and northern Nevada – contains high amounts of calcium, magnesium and other substances, causing build-up, or scale, to form throughout your plumbing system. Over time, the scaling will:
- Reduce flow through water supply lines and clog pipes
- Lower the lifespan of your dishwasher, hot water heater and washing machine
- Decrease cleaning efficiency and form scum
- Leave noticeable rings in bathtubs, showers and sinks
At Roto-Rooter, our plumbing technicians can you determine which water treatment system best meets your needs. We also can repair and recharge many existing systems and purifiers.
Would you like to have soft water without the use of salt or potassium? If so, your Roto-Rooter plumber can install a whole house water conditioner that requires no chemicals or filters to change. We can install a water conditioner system within a few hours that will give you years of maintenance-free service.
Water Softeners
Water softeners are the oldest and one of the most effective types of water treatment systems. They soften your water through a process called ion exchange, which binds negatively charged sodium, potassium or hydrogen resin to positively charged metal ions, drawing the hard minerals out of the water. Your plumbing fixtures will be clear, your drinking glasses will sparkle and your shower doors will look like new again.
For peak performance, water softeners must be regularly regenerated with brine (salt).
Before purchasing a water softener, you will need to determine if your city or county restricts the use of one. In addition, if you are concerned about using salt to soften your water because of health concerns, we encourage you to speak to your physician first. The Mayo Clinic offers this helpful Q&A on how much sodium a water softener adds to tap water.
Water Conditioners
If you are interested in salt-free water treatment options, we offer the industry’s leading water conditioners, including EasyWater Systems. Using an electronic component, the water conditioner alters the electrostatic charge of the hard water ions so that they no longer “stick” to your plumbing. Plus, this system will gradually reduce existing scale.
Water conditioners eliminate the need for salt, can save you money and will minimize concerns you may have about the sodium levels in your water.
Whole House Filtration
Whether you have city water or well water, you may still have bad odors and sediment. A Roto-Rooter whole-house filtration system can solve these problems by removing a majority of the sediment, chlorine, iron, acid, sulfur and other impurities in your water. From service and repair to complete system installation, Roto-Rooter’s expert plumbers can help you with water filtration system needs.
