Soft Water: What Is It, and What Are the Benefits of Using It at Home in Tampa, FL?

Soft water is generally defined as water that contains a low concentration of minerals – most notably calcium and magnesium. Though by no means harmful to human health, these minerals can become problematic in the home, especially in Tampa, Florida, and other areas of the country that experience elevated water hardness levels. This is why, to enjoy soft water, local homeowners must have a piece of equipment called a water softener installed. Through a process called ion exchange, most every residential water softener takes out the problem-causing minerals and replaces them with something else, in most cases sodium chloride, also known as salt. The advantages of having 24/7 access to soft water at home in Tampa, FL, are many. For example, water that has been softened:

Leaves skin feeling cleaner and hair softer to the touch
Practically eliminates yucky limescale buildup in the bathroom
Produces laundered clothing that feels softer and looks brighter
Extends the lifespan of water-using appliances
Enables soaps to develop a richer lather

From what I saw in the beginning and the end, there was a huge difference. It was a job well done. It worth my time and money. And everyone should give it a try.

Excellent company, thorough, responsive, and all around amazing!! I'm so happy with my new A/C unit, attic turbine, and solar hot water heater. It has already saved me money on my electric bill.

This company worked very hard to remove my very old water heater. They did an excellent job installing my new one. Very professional, and kind. Willing to answer my questions also. Thank you.

Tony, the technician/plumber from Florida Energy Water & Air, was most pleasant, knowledgeable, professional. He arrived on completed the replacement of very old water heater including nearly 100% disappearance of the "knocking noise" in less than an hour, and cleaned up the work area very nicely at the end. I highly recommend his and FEWA to anyone needing these kind of services. Thanks Tony!

My experience with the team at Florida Energy Water & Air has been very positive throughout the whole process. I purchased the water treatment and air purification systems for my new home. Jack, the sales representative, did a very impressive job making the 2-hour demo fun, engaging, and interesting. I had no idea how much time had passed until it was over because he did such a great job keeping my attention. The installation was performed by Robenson a few hours later that same day! He was very professional and did a great job with the installation. I wasn’t a big fan of drilling a hole through my garage to run the water pipe, but he made the hole as small as possible and it looks like the house was built that way. He and his partner did a great job cleaning up after themselves. Finally, John was very friendly, professional, informative, and helpful during the post-installation quality inspection. Overall, it has been a very positive experience.
