Water Systems
Why do I need a Water Softener?
Most water contains more than water.
Almost all of the water found in the U.S. is hard
water. Hard water is water that is contaminated with
dissolved minerals – like calcium, magnesium, sulfur,
iron, lead and limestone – that can have a negative impact
on you, your household and your pocketbook. Depending on
where you live, contaminants from sewage, industrial waste and
agricultural run-off can also seep into your water supply.
Hard water produces scale.
If there are stains or buildup on your sinks and bathtubs …
if you have to use large amounts of soap to clean dishes or
wash your hair … or if your water tastes or smells
odd, you probably have hard water. If left untreated,
the minerals in hard water will cause yellow stains
on plumbing fixtures and be deposited as scale,
eventually clogging plumbing and shortening the life
of appliances like washing machines, water heaters
and dishwashers. Scale deposits not only cut down
on the efficiency of these appliances, they cost you
money, increasing both energy and maintenance bills.
Water softeners eliminate the effects of hard water.
They “soften” the water by removing
the calcium and magnesium found there,
extending the useful life of water heaters,
washing machines, dishwashers,
coffeemakers, humidifiers and household
plumbing systems by as much as 30%.
Soft water makes a difference you can feel
and see, all over the house.
In the Bathroom: Your soap and shampoo will lather better.
Your hair and skin will feel noticeably cleaner, softer, and not
as dry. And there will be no soap scum or mineral deposits
to clean off sinks, showers, tubs and toilets.
In the Laundry: Clothes will be softer, cleaner, whiter and
brighter. Plus they will last longer. Using soft water and pure
soap products increases the life of clothing, towels and linens
up to 33%. Without hard water service issues, washing
machines last longer, too.
In the Kitchen: Dishes will clean up more easily, and be
spot free, without the gray film glasses get when etched by
mineral-laden water. Plus hands will feel softer and look better.
Throughout the House: Water-using appliances will last longer
and run better. Why? Because hot water heaters, washing
machines and dishwashers used with hard water can wear
out 30% faster.

All Softeners are not created equal!
Once you understand water softening, you’ll never go back to hard water—the benefits that come with soft water far outweigh the price at which soft water comes. But when it comes down to it, all water softeners soften water, what makes the Professional Series systems stand out from the crowd?
The short answer is our unique high-flow capability, a feature that sets us apart as a “code-meeting” softener. Because most water softeners are installed after a home is built, most plumbers can exploit a loophole in the plumbing code: You only have to meet code when the home completes construction.* After the homeowner moves in, you don’t have to meet code anymore—and most water softeners don’t.
But does that render the plumbing code irrelevant? Of course not: the plumbing code is the minimum recommendation for safe, healthy, efficient, enjoyable plumbing.
The unit was designed for easy sizing, according to your water line size. Keep in mind that a properly sized* water softener is the most efficient.
Express Plumbing of Central Florida offers the Professional Series Water Softener for 1" and 1 1/4" pipes.
