Waste water is waste water, right? Not in the mind of Tom Broadbent a UK Leicester’s De Montfort University student. Broadbent had a stroke of genius while watching water go down a drain in a hotel bathroom. He devised a way to harness the energy of waste water in a high-rise waste system and convert it to electricity. To read more on this fascinating topic, check out the report from Daily Tech.

There are plenty of problems commonly associated with well and city water supplies. Too many to properly address in this blog. Instead, we will focus on the most common water problem our customers currently face: Hard Water.

What is hard water? Water is considered hard if it contains high levels of calcium and magnesium. If you’ve ever seen drinking glasses washed in hard water, you’ve probably noticed the milky haze that won’t rinse away. Or you’ve seen the whitish scale deposits on your faucets and shower doors. That’s because hard water reacts with soap and causes scale to form on all surfaces in contact with the water. What’s worse is the damage the hard water can inflict by causing scale to build up inside pipes, faucets and appliances such as water heaters, washing machines and dish washers.

The problems caused by hard water are not limited to plumbing and appliances. Hard water affects laundry with increased detergent use, faster fading of colors or yellowing of whites and shortened fabric life. Bathing and showering in hard water will dry out and dull skin and hair.

The waste hard water creates each year cost many hundreds of dollars in appliance and plumbing repairs, extra laundry detergent, fabric softeners, fabrics that lose their usefulness, household cleansers, soaps, shampoos and conditioners.

But now, Bonfe’s can help rid of your home of hard water problems with a brand new and highly effective water softener. New technology has made today’s water softeners more efficient and compact than their predecessors. They require little if any maintenance and provide many years of dependable service. In fact, a water softener will pay for itself many times over with all the savings it will generate. One of the immediate benefits you will notice is how soft and smooth your skin and hair will feel. Once you live with soft water you’ll wonder how you ever did without it.

Call Bonfe’s today if you have questions or concerns about the quality of the water in your home.
