AquaPro Home Benefits
Plumbing
The entire plumbing supply of your home represents 10-15% of the home value. Your untreated water can cause thousands in repairs over a decade or two. Hard water can create mineral deposit problems in plumbing and deteriorate all parts of the entire system while losing performance and efficiency.
1. Hot water tanks full of untreated water build scale, or mineral deposits, and thus have a much shorter life span and use up to 25% more energy for heating water. A homeowner with untreated water will have less hot water in addition to a greater fuel expense, and will be repairing and or replacing sooner
2. Toilets, sinks, tubs, and faucets will have a reduced life span and require more attention and more cleaning to keep looking like new. One faucet can cost hundreds of dollars to replace and this is usually
the lowest price item on the list.
Kitchen / Drinking and Cooking
The kitchen is one of the places you will experience on a daily basis the benefits of better water or the drudgery of untreated tap water.
1. Your dishwasher will perform much more efficiently with less detergent or need to heat dry. This saves energy and improves the look of all your glasses, dishes, and silverware. You will not need additives that reduce spots, and your dishes and utensils will not be covered with hardness and detergent residues, making not only a healthier environment for you and your family, but a greener one for the world. The dishwasher itself may even double in life span. If you are doing dishes by hand you will notice your hands will not be as dry and you can save time and use much less dish soap.
2. Conditioned water heats faster, thus saving more energy while improving the flavor of the foods you cook with it. Beverages made with conditioned water are less bitter and need up to 30% less ingredients to obtain the desired taste. Even ice cubes will look and taste better.
3. Drink tap water with the confidence that you’re getting superior water. It will look better, taste better and lack the impurities and chemicals that are known to exist in tap water. There is no need for bottled water or faucet or pitcher filters which can become a breeding ground for bacteria. Many people avoid drinking tap water due to taste or suspicion of contaminants. Knowing your water is free of these problems can encourage you to consume healthy water instead of other high calorie beverages, leading to improved health and reducing caloric intake.
4. Conditioned water will save many hours per year in cleaning your kitchen alone. Conditioned water saves you three ways. All surfaces stay cleaner longer, thus needing less attention. These surfaces clean faster without or with a reduced amount of cleaning product. They clean easier with less scrubbing. Many times, what you are cleaning in the kitchen is film from your tap water. This is why so many homeowners get frustrated with cleaning results because you can only get things as clean as the water you use.
Cleaning
You already understand how your cleaning load would be dramatically lightened and you would spend less time cleaning. But if you think things sound good so far please consider the following.
1. According to independent studies, the average household can require up to 80 hours less cleaning time per year with with less conditioned water. Your home will also stay cleaner longer and you will be in a greener environment exposure to chemicals.
2. Even your rugs, carpets, and floors can be cleaner. Have you ever heard the old saying that when you clean a rug it gets dirtier faster. Just as in the laundry the cleaning solution and hardness minerals create a paste that sticks to the fibers creating a dirt magnet. Your sweeper will have a harder time getting this stuck on dirt out of your rugs. This also makes the rug break down faster and require replacement sooner. Imagine having cleaner carpets that stayed cleaner longer and last longer. The best rug cleaning companies have soft water on their trucks and will not use your hard water for cleaning. This gives superior results and customer satisfaction. It is also expensive. If you clean your rugs with conditioned water you can use less cleaner but even more important conditioned water allows much more cleaning solution and dirt to be removed from the carpet without the sticky residue left behind. This gives you a cleaner greener home with rugs that look and feel their best. For most homes without conditioned water the carpets are usually the dirtiest part of the home.
3. Water is the universal solvent. By its nature it is a superior cleaner to any cleaning product. The problem is it has cleaned everything in its path on the way to our homes. There is no standard for how much dissolved rock (hardness) can be in your water. Even at a level of 34.4ppm or 2 grains per gallon will dramatically deter your water from doing what it does best. Most water in homes today is many times this level. This is bad for you and great for the soap, detergent, and all companies that spend fortunes advertising the latest and greatest products that will be next year’s losers. You spend more, clean more, and the results are marginal compared to eradicating what keeps them so profitable and successful at your expense. Homeowners are being snake bitten by poor water quality every day and at great expense take the only antidote they know….. More cleaners. The average family of four will spend in excess of $1,000.00 every year to clean their homes and bodies. This figure continually rises as these products show an increase of almost 80% every 10 years. By now you hopefully understand you can cut the head off of this snake that serves you poorly for much less money while giving you a much higher satisfaction level and peace of mind. Conditioned water will save up to 80% of this entire expense which is about $800.00 per year for the average family of four. This is just one area of savings.
