Hard Water Softener Solutions
Is hard water getting you down?
White water stains on your shower glass, constantly replacing kettles, and mineral build-up in your appliances: hard water can be a nightmare to live with.
Some areas in New Zealand—like the Franklin region—have particularly hard water. There are a number of solutions that don’t involve hours of elbow grease, and at Magenta Industries, we can help install an external water softening unit.
What is Hard Water?
While the majority of New Zealand has soft water, there are a few areas where the water supply is considered ‘hard’. This is due to the water picking up a number of source minerals from the ground, particularly calcium and magnesium. The pH balance of this water is higher than normal, which adversely affects the taste, appearance, and general properties of the water.
Why is it an issue?
Residents of hard water areas will likely find their water doesn’t taste great and might notice the minerals take a moment to settle in a freshly poured glass of water from the tap. Hard water also causes soap and detergents to foam up on a noticeably reduced scale. Mineral buildup can block taps and pipes, and frustrating water marks are left on bathroom glass and dishes.
The Puretec System
Installed on your home's exterior, the Puretec systems offer a whole-house solution to your hard water issues. Multiple sizes and options are available, including solar, and we can offer advice on the best unit to suit your needs.
Water flows into the unit, is filtered through the water softening resin, reducing ions, and softer water enters your home. The system is self-cleaning using a salt water solution, similar to pool chemicals, meaning the resin stays charged, and impurities are washed away.
Whether you’re in a new build, tired of battling the adversities of hard water or simply looking for better quality H2o, a water softener is guaranteed to improve your water quality from the moment you install it.
