It’s a common misconception that whole home water softeners are not worth the money to purchase, install, operate and maintain. There’s the initial investment in the equipment and its’ installation, the energy needed to run it and all that salt you need to keep the unit operating. In fact, the opposite is true. Water softeners can solve many common Central Florida water-related problems in the home and save you money.
Today’s energy-efficient water softeners need about 70 kWh (about $10 per year) to operate based on US average energy rates for a family of four. That’s the same amount of energy needed to power your alarm clock. With regard to the amount of salt needed, most families use about 10 bags of salt over the course of a year to get the soft water results they desire.
However, the most significant savings can be realized in your home’s appliances and plumbing. The impact hard water has on appliances and plumbing is significant – shortening appliance lifespan and clogging plumbing. The benefit of a whole home water softener increases the longevity and efficiency of water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines and prevents scale build up on plumbing which could result in the increased likelihood of costly and untimely plumbing repairs and appliance replacement.
If that’s not enough savings, the amount of personal grooming and household cleaning products needed is much less with softened water. Soaps will lather better and other cleaners will work more effectively, so you can use less water and product and get better results.
