When it comes to taking care of appliances, water softeners typically require little maintenance. Although they are low maintenance, there are a few things you can do to make them work better and longer. This week, Lindyspring Systems shares with you a few things you can do to make sure your water softener continues to work its best.

Prevent Salt Bridging

Salt bridging occurs when the salt clumps together to form a hard crust in the brine tank and creates an empty space between the water and the salt. This prevents the salt from dissolving into the water to make brine. Without brine, the resin beads that soften your water can't do their job. You may have a salt bridge if you notice that your tank appears to be full, but you can tell that your water isn't soft. Typical causes of bridging are using the wrong kind of salt, high humidity, or temperature changes around the water softener. If you've got bridging in your tank, try to break up the clumped up salt and remove it from the sides of the tank. You can prevent this from happening in the future by periodically checking your brine tank, breaking up any built up salt, and occasionally having it professionally cleaned.

Choose the Right Salt

There are three basic types of water softener salt: rock, solar and evaporated. Rock salt, the least expensive, contains higher levels of insoluble minerals or impurities. Over time, this can result in a muddy tank, decreasing the softening efficiency while leaving impurities in your water. Solar salt, which is much more soluble than rock salt, is obtained by the evaporation of seawater and is found in both pellet and crystal form. The next option is evaporated salt, which is obtained through a combination of mining and evaporation. Lindyspring carries solar salt, which is up to 99.8% pure salt. We can deliver to your home or business 40 lb. bags of coarse solar salt and 40 lb. bags of potassium chloride.

For All Your Household Water Conditioning and Treatment Needs Count on LINDYSPRING!

It's no secret that one of the keys to staying healthy is to stay hydrated. Yet, roughly 75% of Americans still suffer from chronic dehydration. Health officials continue to emphasize the importance of proper hydration. Over time, failure to drink enough water can contribute to a wide array of medical complications, from fatigue, joint pain and weight gain to headaches, ulcers, high blood pressure and kidney disease. So how can we take steps in the right direction to improve our health? Lindyspring Systems has come up with some simple, yet genius, ways to stay hydrated. Take a look:

Infuse your water

We get it, water alone can be pretty boring. Instead of opting for a flavor and sugar packed soft drink, opt for something more natural—like water infused with watermelon chunks and mint or orange slices. To fully fuse the flavors, combine the ingredients in a pitcher and let them sit for up to a day before drinking.

Include these juicy fruits and veggies into your everyday diet:

Cucumbers
Hydrate and replenish your skin with fresh cucumbers. In addition to containing 95 percent water, cucumbers are rich in anti-inflammatory compounds that help remove waste from the body and reduce skin irritation.

Iceberg Lettuce
Iceberg lettuce contains 95 percent water. That makes it a good hydrating base for your summer salad. However, if you prefer the heart-healthy benefits of leafy greens instead, spinach is a good alternative at 91 percent water by weight.

Celery
Celery will satisfy your craving for crunch. It’s also tied with cucumbers and iceberg lettuce at 95 percent water by weight. You can feel good about eating celery because of its low calorie count and high value in vitamin K, folate and potassium.

Watermelon
Watermelon flesh contains 91 percent water. This summer treat also contains abundant lycopene, which can help protect cells from sun damage and improve your complexion.

Strawberries
They’re sweet enough you can eat them for dessert. But the benefits of strawberries go beyond flavor and 91 percent water content. They provide a rich source of flavonoids, compounds associated with improved cognitive function.

Make water part of your diet plan

Did you know that whenever you feel hungry, your body is actually more than likely just craving water? Whenever you get that hungry pang, try drinking a glass of water as an appetizer. As a matter of fact, drink a glass of water before every meal to help lose weight. You'll not only fill your stomach, but prevent yourself from overeating.

Get a water filtration or purification system for your home

If the water source in your home isn't treated, your water probably doesn't taste very good. There could be contaminants such as chlorine or sulfur in your water. Bitter tasting water is often caused when the pH of your water is out-of-sync. By having a Lindyspring water treatment system installed in your home, you'll improve the taste of your water. Not only does filtered or purified water taste better, but it's more convenient and cost effective than buying bottled water. If it's more easily accessible, you'll be more likely to drink it.
