How Do You Know If You Have Hard Water?

Not sure if you need a water softener? Look out for these common signs of hard water in your home or business:

  • Mineral Buildup – White or chalky deposits around faucets, showerheads, and sinks.
  • Soap Scum & Residue – Soap doesn’t lather well, leaving a sticky film on skin, hair, and bathroom surfaces.
  • Water Heater Issues – Scale buildup inside water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines causes inefficiency and frequent breakdowns.
  • Dry, Itchy Skin & Hair – Hard minerals strip away moisture, leading to dryness and irritation.
  • Spotted or Cloudy Dishes – Dishes and glassware look dull and stained even after washing.

While hard water isn’t harmful to drink, it can damage plumbing fixtures and appliances over time. If you notice these issues, The Waterworks can conduct a professional water test to determine your water hardness level and recommend the best solution.  

Benefits of Installing a Water Softener

A water softener removes calcium and magnesium, transforming your water quality and providing immediate benefits:

  • Smoother Skin & Softer Hair – Say goodbye to dry, irritated skin with softened water.
  • More Effective Cleaning – Soap lathers better, reducing the amount of soap and detergent needed.
  • Brighter, Softer Clothes – Clothes last longer and feel softer without mineral buildup.
  • Longer-Lasting Appliances – Water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines operate more efficiently and last longer.
  • Lower Energy Bills – Appliances work better with soft water, saving money on electricity and maintenance.
  • Fewer Plumbing Repairs – Soft water prevents scale buildup, extending the life of your pipes and fixtures.

Installing a water softener is an investment that improves comfort, protects your plumbing system, and reduces household expenses.

My experience with The Waterworks has been very good. Michael assessed my plumbing issues and made necessary repairs. I really appreciated the fact he pointed out that I didn't need the service I thought I did. Thus, I was not overcharged. I recommend The Waterworks if you need plumbing service.

Chris showed up 2 hours early (after a courtesy call). The service call was not needed as it was my own naivety that caused this situation. Chris clearly explained the dilemma and was out the door in 20 minutes. This is not the first time that I have had Water Works out to my house and it WILL NOT be the last. SUPER company!

We thought our sump pump had failed and needed to be replaced. Tech showed up on time and found that the breaker had been flipped. No pressure to purchase something we didn't need....he just flipped the breaker, told us that was what was wrong, told us he turned it on and confirmed the sump pump was working and left. Great experience! Will definitely call them again if we have another issue!

The whole experience with Waterworks was positive. I called during the weekend and spoke to a representative and scheduled a service call for Monday. They arrived at the time that was promised and a call was made 30 minutes prior to arrival. The technician was courteous and explained what potentially could have occurred and what options I would have. Service call was completed and I am very satisfied with the entire process.

Will was very professional. He updated me on all the things he was doing to diagnose the problem. I felt he went over and beyond. He knew I was concerned about the cost and for some reason I did not renew my Silver Plan. In the past month I had to get a new water heater, my fireplace went out and today I needed to get new glasses. Being on a fixed income is worrisome. I was happy though with the service I received.

JonLe was awesome to work with they didn’t hassle us during the buying process or make us feel rushed, they gave us time and space to figure things out and let us know if we had questions we were free to ask. Makes it easier when making a huge purchase for your home. We were able to call and schedule the new HVAC install quickly and they work efficiently and left everything clean and tidy when done! They explained everything to us when they finished the install and let us know all the important details and what to expect. I would highly recommend JonLe to anyone in need of a new HVAC system! They also had very easy finance options for the system which was also nice to see.

We’ve been loyal JonLe customers since 1996 which included replacing all furnaces and A/C units as well as installing zoned heating and cooling solutions throughout our homes. They are always highly professional, prompt with excellent service at all times. I would not go anywhere else. Their sales, installation and service teams are first rate! Thanks JonLe!

Jonle was recommended to me by a friend and I have been under contract with them for 2 years. Best decision ever. They call and schedule a check up of my furnace and heat pump twice a year at my convenience. Their employees are top notch and willing to answer any questions. I definitely recommend Jonle to anyone who asks.
