The Department of Energy recommends water softening as an investment for all households. The average American home loses significant money each year due to hard water. Those costs include buying bottled water, added plumbing stress, and appliance inefficiency and wear and tear. If you’d like to protect yourself against those losses, Pilgrim Plumbing, Inc. recommends our water softeners in Rockland, MA. We offer water softener systems that will eliminate your hard water problem consistently and reliably.
"They were recommended to me and now I recommend them to you! They are excellent, honest, friendly." - Frank N., Facebook
The first step toward choosing a water softener is to test your hardness, which we can do for you. We recommend this step whether you have a well or municipal water. Once we know how hard your water is, we know the grain capacity of the system you need.
Another important consideration is the flow rate, which we measure in gallons per minute (GPM). The water softener systems we offer are point-of-entry systems. That means that they’re a potential bottleneck for your water supply. If the GPM is too low, you may experience low water pressure or get water that isn’t softened.
Most water softeners are salt-based. They exchange the magnesium and calcium in your water with either sodium or potassium. This is possible due to resin beads that the system needs to recharge once they’re exhausted.
You have the choice of either a single or dual-tank system. Single-tank systems are more affordable but have to recharge overnight. You can run into a situation where you exhaust the system and have to wait for it to recharge. Dual-tank systems help avoid that inconvenience. One tank can recharge while the other provides your soft water.
Should you choose sodium or potassium? Sodium is much cheaper than potassium, and most homeowners choose it for that reason. A system that uses sodium will add salt to your diet, but only in extremely small amounts. However, potassium systems don’t add to your salt intake at all.
There are many advantages to a whole-house water softener:
Cleaner dishes and laundry
Enhanced skin and hair health
Better water for drinking and cooking
Improved appliance efficiency and lifespans
Lower plumbing maintenance and repair costs
