It’s rare, but hard water can cause water heaters to explode. Residents in New Jersey are at more significant risk due to the 142 PPM water hardness. So, how do water heater explosions occur?
Water heaters burst due to an intense build-up of pressure. When calcium insulates the heating coil, pressure builds. If you don’t flush the sediments, the pressure could escape in an explosion.
It helps to clear away the calcium sediments whenever your heater starts making popping sounds. You can always call on your favorite plumber in New Jersey to flush water heaters.
However, the lasting solution includes installing a water softener. This prevents sediments from accumulating in your boiler.
Hard water contains high levels of minerals that cause rusting in your pipes and plumbing appliances. Hard water could even block pipes as calcium sediments build up on the inner surfaces.
You can tell your water supply is hard when:
The calcium in hard water forms lines the heating coil in your boiler and keeps the water from heating. The calcium layer also traps air. Popping sounds occur as the trapped air tries to escape when the heater is working.
Water softeners remove hard minerals and make your water user-friendly. Make sure your entire supply goes through the water softener. You don’t want the hard water flowing into your pipes and appliances.
Water softener installation may also reduce household costs in the following ways:
Soaps and detergents don’t easily lather in hard water. Most of your soap gets wasted by forming soap scum. Softening the water will reduce waste. Your clothes will also feel softer and last longer.
Removing minerals in hard water reduces rusting in your faucets and metallic pipes.
Softening your water supply means your skin and hair will become more moisturized. You won’t need to spend extra on beauty products. Additionally, your self-esteem will improve.
Calcium build-up inside your boiler adversely affects its lifespan. Soft water installation reduces the rate of mineral sediments building in your water heater. Besides having a longer lifespan, your heater will work with increased energy efficiency.
Dishwashers and coffee makers don’t last long when you use them with hard water. Rusting and sediment build-up ruin the heating function of these kitchen appliances. Don’t forget that your showerheads fit in this category.
SHOULD THERE BE WATER IN YOUR BRINE TANK?
There’s a reason why SJ Heating & Cooling Repair doesn’t recommend DIY soft water installations. Most DIY installations fill the brine tank with excess water.
Never fill your brine tank with water. You need to contact us whenever the brine tank water level goes above the indicated brine line.
Your water softener loses effectiveness when there’s more water than the marked level. Always check the brine tank as you continue using your installation.
Every household presents different complexities during installation. Water softeners serve entire households, so we always install them at the main water inlet.Your house could need a small, medium, or large brine tank for the water softener. It depends on:
Thus, water softener installation costs differ among households. Homeowners can always call for a free estimate. You can also contact us online via our website. Water softeners immediately start working after installation is complete. Our plumbers always bring a test kit to make sure your house has access to soft water. We can even taste it to make sure you should be buying drinking water for your household.
