Water Softeners ## Raleigh Home Water Softeners Home water softeners are excellent tools in the defense of your home from the potentially harmful consequences of using hard water. If you haven’t already discovered the benefits of a water softening system, call Raleigh’s home water softener installation and repair experts—Progressive Plumbing, Heating & Air, Electrical. Hard water is high in dissolved minerals, mostly magnesium and calcium. Although there is some debate on the health effects of consuming hard water, there is no debate on the amount of destruction it can wreak on your plumbing and appliances. If your home uses hard water, a water softening system is the best protection against: - Grimy film build-up on tubs, sinks, and surfaces that get wet - Discoloration of laundered clothing - Clogging drains and pipes - Burst pipes as a result of mineral build-up If your Raleigh-area home is in serious need of a home water softener, or its existing unit needs a tune-up, the only name you need to know is Progressive. ## How Do Home Water Softeners Work? Home water softeners work by removing calcium and magnesium through an ion-exchange process as water runs through a conditioning tank. Soft water passes through to your home, and hard minerals are left behind in the tank. Most water softening systems use salt to return the tank to its original state—ready for another pass of hard water. The expert technicians at Progressive have years of experience in performing installations and repairs on home water softeners. Though water softeners commonly last many years, it is a good idea to have them inspected and serviced every year. ## Efficient Home Water Softeners from Progressive Providing our customers with the very best in water softening is a matter of installing only the most efficient, highest–quality products available.
