Spots and Stains
One of the benefits of a water softening system is that they prevent hard water stains on your bathroom and kitchen fixtures. This makes cleaning the bathrooms and kitchen much easier because you are not fighting with hard water mineral deposits. If your water softening system is not softening the water, you will end up with hard water stains in the sinks, tubs, on the shower doors, and on the faucets.
Hard Water Feel
You will also be able to tell that your water softening system is not working when you feel the water on your skin. Whether you are washing your hands at the kitchen sink or taking a shower, the water will feel hard and your skin will feel sticky. You will also notice a difference in the condition of your skin because the hard water will dry your skin out and make you feel itchy all over. Soft skin that feels clean and refreshed is another advantage of a water softening system.
Fewer Suds
A water softening system also helps to increase the amount of suds you get out of your detergent, shampoo, and so. The reason why hard water does not make these things foam is much is that the minerals in the hard water prevent the suds from forming. You will also notice a difference if you like to take long baths in the suds that are created by bubble bath.
Water Pressure Changes
Finally, if your water softening system is malfunctioning, you may end up with a change in the water pressure coming into your home. You may see a reduction in the pressure or the pressure may be harder than normal. The changes in the water pressure can make bathing difficult.
