5 signs that your water softener is not working accurately

 


If your area's supply of water is hard, means it has a high amount of hard minerals (mostly calcium and magnesium) in it. Hard water isn’t bad for human health, but a water softener can make your life a little brighter.

But after some time of using it, you’ve noticed that something is wrong with your home water softener.

Here are some signs that your water softener isn’t working accurately.

1. Your skin feels dry after you wash it

When your home water softener isn’t working properly, you’ll feel the bad effects of hard water on your skin. The hard water minerals can leave a film on your skin. This can make your skin sticky, dry, and itchy. But with soft water, your skin feels healthy and soaps can easily make lather.

2. You’re finding signs of hard water

Many other signs of hard water will start to appear when your water softener isn’t working accurately.

You might have noticed these signs:-

•          Harsh clothes

•          Water spots

•          White layers build up around your pipes and faucets

•          Soap does not make lather

3. The tap water tastes salty

If there is too much salt in your domestic water softener, you might find a thin and salty film inside the dishwasher or on the faucets.

To avoid this, the water softener for home may need to be cleaned and again refilled with salt.

There are many types of water softeners on market, so first check your manufacturer’s guide or website to see how to clean your home water softener.

The general guide for cleaning water softeners:-

Once your domestic water softener is clean, check the settings of brine salt against the current water hardness of your home.

4. Your brine tank is running out of salt

This is one of the most common problems with water softeners. Just mark it on your calendar or set a reminder to check the salt level at least once a week. Your domestic water softener needs to be at least half full of salt.

If the salt in the brine tank is less than half full and looks dry, refill it up to 80%.

5. If your water softener is not working

If your water softener isn’t working, the problem could be with the electrical circuit.
