Water Softeners in Tucson, AZ: Solving Hard Water Problems with Right Now Heating and Plumbing

Tucson's water is known for its hardness, meaning it contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. While these minerals aren't harmful to ingest, they can wreak havoc on your plumbing system, appliances, and even your skin and hair. Right Now Heating and Plumbing offers water softener solutions to combat hard water and improve your quality of life in Tucson, AZ.

The Problems with Hard Water in Tucson

Hard water can lead to a variety of issues, including:


  • Scale Buildup: Mineral deposits, or scale, accumulate in pipes, water heaters, and appliances, reducing their efficiency and lifespan. This can lead to costly repairs or premature replacements.
  • Reduced Appliance Lifespan: Scale buildup in appliances like dishwashers and washing machines can shorten their lifespan and decrease their performance.
  • Dry Skin and Hair: Hard water minerals can leave a film on your skin and hair, making them feel dry, itchy, and dull.
  • Spotty Dishes: Hard water makes it difficult to get dishes and glassware sparkling clean, often leaving spots and streaks.
  • Faded Clothing: Hard water minerals can fade and damage fabrics, causing clothes to wear out faster.
  • Increased Soap Scum: Hard water reacts with soap, creating soap scum that clings to surfaces, making cleaning more difficult.
  • Plumbing Problems: Scale buildup can restrict water flow in pipes, leading to clogs and reduced water pressure.

How a Water Softener Can Help:

A water softener removes the hardness minerals from your water through a process called ion exchange. Here's how it works:

Salt Tank: The water softener uses a salt tank filled with sodium or potassium chloride.

Resin Bed: Inside the softener is a resin bed, which is negatively charged.

Ion Exchange: Hard water flows through the resin bed. The positively charged minerals (calcium and magnesium) are attracted to the negatively charged resin.

Soft Water: As the hard water passes through the resin bed, the minerals are exchanged for sodium or potassium ions, resulting in softened water.

Regeneration: Periodically, the resin bed needs to be regenerated. A brine solution from the salt tank flushes through the resin bed, displacing the accumulated minerals and recharging the resin with sodium or potassium ions.
