How a Water Softener Can Improve Your Home’s Plumbing
A water softener can lead to numerous visible improvements around your home, including spot-free dishes and glasses, pristine bathroom fixtures and walls that are free of soap scum, and clothing that has brighter whites and bolder colors. However, some of the most important effects of soft water can’t be so easily observed. Let’s take a closer look at how a water softener can affect your home’s pipes and plumbing.
A Water Softener Eliminates Limescale Buildup
Limescale is that chalky, white deposit that you typically see on faucets and showerheads in homes with hard water. That same mineral deposit that you notice on your bathroom fixtures also builds up inside your pipes, and can actually lead to all kinds of problems. With a water softener installed, your home will benefit from:
- Fewer clogs – Without the limescale buildup, water can flow more freely through pipes without obstruction. Pipes with severe limescale buildup are far more susceptible to clogs.
- Longer lasting appliances – Without a water softener, limescale that builds up in pipes also occurs in water-using appliances, putting them under more stress to operate efficiently. You’ll find that appliances have a much-improved lifespan when using soft water.
- Better energy efficiency – As water-using appliances are able to operate more smoothly, they’ll consume less energy. Water heaters, especially, are highly susceptible to hard water damage, and since they account for more than 15% of a home’s energy use, you will likely notice savings on your utility bill after having a water softener installed.
- Fewer plumbing repairs – Gunked-up pipes and appliances lead to leaks, malfunctions, and sometimes even costly repairs, so a water softener can ultimately save you an arm and a leg on visits from your local plumber.

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.
The experience with all aspects from the presentation to installation and inspection was great. Glenn who presented was kind, informative and extremely helpful in finding the right system for us. The installer Robinson was extremely professional with the installation did a great job and John was also great in explaining the finance and perks!! Overall 10/10
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.
Great customer service. Jean Amaro was especially helpful and took care of my issues and concerns personally. Technicians were friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend their services.
