Hard water is a common issue in many areas. Lubbock is no exception. It occurs when water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. Even though these minerals are not harmful to your health, they can cause problems with your plumbing, appliances, and even your skin and hair.
A water softener system is your solution to hard water problems. It works by removing those minerals from your water supply. When hard water passes through the water softener, it goes through a process called ion exchange. In this process, the calcium and magnesium ions are exchanged for sodium ions, effectively softening the water.
The hardness of water is usually measured in grains per gallon (gpg). The higher the gpg level, the harder the water. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, very hard water occurs when the gpg is above 7.5. The hardness level in our area averages around 14 gpg. Water softeners are designed to handle different levels of hardness. Make sure to choose the right one for your needs.
When choosing a water softener system for your Lubbock area home, consider factors like the size of your family, your water usage, and the hardness of your water supply. Whole house water softeners are ideal if you want to soften all the water that enters your home. They usually consist of two main components: a resin tank and a brine tank.

While a water softener system helps with hardness, a water filtration system removes other pollutants that may be present in your water supply. In the Lubbock area, water is treated with a combination of chlorine and ammonia known as chloramine. According to research, at certain levels chloramine may negatively impact those on dialysis or experiencing certain respiratory conditions. In addition to chemicals for purification, tap water may contain impurities such as sediment, and even traces of heavy metals. Well water is not exempt from also containing these specific impurities, which can affect the taste and odor of your water.
A carbon filtration system is a common type of water filtration system that can greatly improve the quality of your water. It uses activated carbon to absorb and remove impurities, resulting in cleaner, fresher-tasting water.
