FAQs

A water softener system reduces hard water problems. It saves appliances and fixtures from damage. Soft water improves skin and hair health. It increases soap and detergent efficiency. Soft water also improves taste, odor, and overall water quality. Reduces staining and spotting on surfaces. Increases water pressure and flow rate.

Extends the life of appliances and plumbing fixtures. Reduces maintenance and repair costs.Makes water safer and more enjoyable to use. 

A Reverse Osmosis (RO) system is necessary to:

• Remove contaminants and impurities from water

• Improve taste and odor

• Reduce risk of waterborne diseases

• Protect appliances from damage

• Provide high-quality water for drinking, cooking, and making beverages

Overall, an RO system ensures access to clean, safe, and great-tasting water at home.

Salt-Based Softener:

• Removes minerals that cause hard water

• Effective at removing scaling and stains

• Requires regular salt replacement

• Can increase sodium levels in water

Salt-Less Softener:

• Conditions water without removing minerals

• Uses alternative technologies like magnets or templates

• No salt required, reducing maintenance

• May not be as effective at removing scaling and stains

Choose a salt-based softener for maximum effectiveness, or a salt-less softener for a low-maintenance, eco-friendly option.

To determine the capacity of the water softener you need, consider the following factors:

1. Number of people in the household: More people means more water usage.

2. Water usage habits: If you have a large lawn, pool, or multiple appliances, you'll need a larger softener.

3. Hardness of your water: If your water is very hard, you'll need a more powerful softener.

4. Flow rate: Consider the maximum flow rate of water in your home, usually during peak usage hours.

Here's a rough estimate of the softener capacity you might need:

• Small household (1-2 people): 16,000 - 24,000 grain capacity

• Medium household (3-4 people): 24,000 - 32,000 grain capacity

• Large household (5-6 people): 32,000 - 40,000 grain capacity

• Very large household (7+ people): 40,000 - 64,000 grain capacity

Keep in mind that these are rough estimates, and the actual capacity you need may vary depending on your specific situation.

It's always a good idea to consult with a water treatment professional to determine the best softener capacity for your home

Electric Garage Heaters

• Cost: Lower upfront cost ($100-$500)

• Installation: Easier installation, plug-and-play

• Operating Cost: Higher operating cost (8-12 cents/kWh)

• Heat Output: Lower heat output (1-5 kW)

• Safety: No risk of gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning

• Maintenance: Less maintenance required

Gas Garage Heaters

• Cost: Higher upfront cost ($500-$2,000)

• Installation: More complex installation, requires venting and gas lines

• Operating Cost: Lower operating cost (4-8 cents/therm)

• Heat Output: Higher heat output (10-50 kW)

• Safety: Risk of gas leaks and carbon monoxide poisoning

• Maintenance: More maintenance required

Consider the following factors when choosing between electric and gas garage heaters:

• Garage size: Larger garages require more heat, making gas heaters a better option.

• Insulation: Well-insulated garages can retain heat better, making electric heaters a viable option.

• Budget: Electric heaters are cheaper upfront, while gas heaters can be more cost-effective in the long run.

• Safety concerns: If safety is a top priority, electric heaters may be a better option.
