Hey everybody, I'm Corbin with Titan Plumbing Electric and today we're taking a look at probably the best example of why a water softener or water filtration system in your home is so important. Not only for your health, but for the health of your plumbing system. They say that the water heater is the heart of your plumbing system. The buildup inside is almost like a clogged artery. Look at this heater with how much sediment is inside here. I mean, this is ridiculous. That's the heart of your plumbing system. Having the equivalent of a heart attack. This is pounds and pounds and pounds and pounds of sediment built up over decades. This is why flushing your heater is so important once a year. And to help prevent this, the water softener and the water filtration systems that we sell here at Titan will stop this much from building up in your heater, causing a heart attack in your plumbing system. If you're interested in a water softener or water filtration system, give Titan Plumbing Electric a call at 813-933810 or visit our website titanplumbinglectric.com. [Music]

If you have hard water, it can wreak havoc on your appliances and leave clothes feeling stiff and scratchy. Hard water isn't unhealthy, but it makes life inconvenient. Fortunately, whole-home water softeners fix hard water problems.
What Is Hard Water?
When it rains, the water coming out of the sky is soft, meaning it lacks a high mineral content. However, when it drains through the ground to wind up in rivers and lakes, it picks up dissolved minerals such as magnesium and calcium, among others. These minerals make the water hard.
What Are the Effects of Hard Water?
While mineral-heavy water isn't unhealthy to drink, its many side effects can make life unpleasant. Here are just a few of the adverse effects of hard water.
- Hard water prevents soap and detergent from entirely dissolving, which means you end up with water spots on your dishes and utensils, dull hair, stiff clothes, and dry skin.
- Hard water also leaves mineral deposits around fixtures like faucets and showerheads. Also, mineral buildup in appliances can cause them to fail prematurely.
- Hard water causes mineral buildup in your water heater, which means it runs less efficiently, costing you more money to operate.
How Water Softeners Work
Now that you know about hard water and some of its ill-effects, let's look at water softeners and how they make your water soft and more pleasant to use. Resin tanks within the water softener contain thousands of resin beads charged with sodium ions. When hard water moves through the system, these beads attract the magnesium and calcium ions from the hard water and exchange them for sodium ions, which makes the water soft.

We're here at our water heater challenge. We cut open the heater. We gave $500 off for the cups of sediment we pulled out of the heater. We're also going to make some recommendations. This house is on a well, so and it's not uh doesn't have any kind of filter system. So, we're going to recommend a whole house filter system or at the bare minimum, this is a a sediment filter that would just protect the heater. We would install this in line before the water comes into the heater and that would protect the whole hot water side of the house and also all of the sediment from getting into this this heater. This filter would need to be replaced probably every 3 to to 5 months. We have other systems we're going to recommend that would be less maintenance. Um probably a softener system would be the best to get all of this sediment out and take care of the rust. For more information, go to Titan Plumbing and Electric.
