A Plumbing Secret You Didn’t Know: The Hidden Cost of Hard Water
Did you know that hard water—common in Saratoga due to our mineral-rich groundwater—can silently drain your wallet? It’s not just about limescale on faucets. Hard water (over 7 grains per gallon here) forces your water heater to work 30% harder, hiking energy bills by $100-$250 annually per household. It also wears out appliances like washing machines 15% faster and can clog pipes, leading to repairs costing $500+ if ignored. Most homeowners don’t realize this until it’s too late!
Here’s the fix: A water softener or regular maintenance can cut these costs. For example, our $1,599 single-tank softener (or $1,279 bundled) removes minerals, saving you money long-term. Test your water with a simple soap suds check—shake water with dish soap; poor lather means hard water. Need help? Request a consultation!
