Water Treatment – Softeners – RO Systems
The Treasure Valley’s municipal city water sources use chlorine as part of the treatment and water reclamation process. Your chlorine levels will fluctuate depending on the frequency of when the chlorine is added and the distance you are away from the source. Chlorine is arguably harder on gaskets, cartridges, and other plumbing materials than hard water and can be less enjoyable to drink. Chlorine will also shorten the life and efficiency of the resin used in a water softener.
Ritchie Plumbing uses top-quality, easy-to-use programmable water softeners and whole house carbon filtration to remove minerals and chlorine from your water.
What is a water softener?
A water softener is a device designed to remove minerals like calcium and magnesium from your water supply. These minerals are notorious for causing buildup in your plumbing, leading to scale, reduced water flow, and decreased appliance efficiency. They can also affect your hair, skin, clothes, towels, dishes, and more, causing bad odor, discoloration or an unusual feel.
How does a water softener work?
Water softeners operate by swapping out the hard water minerals with sodium or potassium ions, resulting in soft water that’s gentler on your skin, hair, and appliances. This happens through a chemical process that takes place within the water softening system. You won’t have to worry about anything except maintaining your system, which we will show you how.
