Water Conditioners
A water conditioner is a device used to treat hard water, which is water that contains high levels of crushed rock particles such as calcium and magnesium. These crushed rock particles can build up in pipes, appliances, and fixtures, causing damage and reducing their efficiency.
Water conditioners work by removing or altering specific elements in the water, through a step-by-step process. Water conditioners can help prevent damage to plumbing, appliances, and fixtures, and can also decrease lead and chlorine levels, improving the taste and odor of drinking water.
Water conditioners differ from water softeners in that they add an additional carbon filtration layer that can handle chlorine and a little bit of the lead if a high-quality carbon is used.
Water conditioners are particularly important in Tampa Bay, Florida which has a hard water problem. Hard water can cause mineral buildup in pipes, which can lead to clogs and reduced water flow. This is a common problem in Florida, where the water supply contains high levels of calcium and magnesium. In addition to causing plumbing problems, hard water can also make it difficult to lather soap, may cause skin irritation, and leave stubborn hard water spots on countertops, dishes and glassware.
If you are looking at more than just resolving hard water, a Purity Bay water conditioner will also address unwanted chlorine and lead that is currently found in your water. We manufacture our own systems, customize to anything our customers desire, and can beat the price of any other company’s water conditioner.
