Have you ever thought about how much water you use on a monthly or daily basis? Water is a major part of everyone's day to day life, but it's probably not something that you think about often. However, you may want to start thinking about your water usage. More importantly, you may want to think about the quality of your water. The quality of water you use in your home or business can affect the performance of your appliances, health, plumbing and much more. Lindyspring Systems would like to share with you average water usages and how a water treatment system at Lake of the Ozarks could benefit you!

Washing Machine
On average, your washing machine uses forty gallons of water per full load! That's a lot of water, especially if you have a larger family with lots of clothes to wash. With all that water going through your washer, if you don't have quality water, your washer may not be running efficiently. Installing a water softener from Lindyspring Systems would help with the efficiency of your washer. This will make your washing machine last longer, and you won't have to use nearly as much detergent to wash your clothes. This is because hard water and build up can clog up your machine. Also, poor quality of water interferes with the cleanliness of your clothes, which is why more detergent is necessary when you don't have a water treatment system.

Lindyspring Systems at Lake of the Ozarks knows the hard water struggles homeowners and businesses face daily. We're here to tell you that you don't have to continue to deal with those maintenance headaches. We've got several products that can help protect your drinking water at the Lake of the Ozarks!



Reverse Osmosis Drink Water System
The Eclipse™ Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System is designed to provide your family with the cleanest, healthiest water possible. Multiple filters clean ordinary household water to reduce unwanted and harmful contaminants. System performance is verified with a touch monitor on the system's faucet base. Installation is simple - no electricity needed.

Impression Series RC Conditioner
Whether you have municipal water that is hard or chlorinated, Impression Series®RC water conditioners deliver the clear, soft, odor-free water you want and need. It's environmentally-friendly tank design eliminates the need for two systems by combining two medias into one tank. The activated carbon removes chlorine and other unwanted tastes while the high capacity resin is used for the maximum in softening capabilities. It's true... nothing will last longer than your first Impression.

LCR Series II Water Softener
The LCR Series II water softener removes unwanted hardness or minerals from your household water, whether from municipal sources or private wells. Used alone or in combination with Lindyspring filters and neutralizers, this system can meet the most challenging water problems existing today.

Sanitizer Water Conditioning System
The sanitizer water conditioning system is recognized for its unique ability to kill and remove iron and sulfur bacteria - a naturally-occurring bacteria that can incubate and grow in water softener beds and other water appliances. Most homeowners experience this problem as red or black slime and stains on plumbing fixtures, and foul smells when operating a tap. The system safely creates chlorine from the softener's brine solution. The dissolved chlorine then sanitizes the media bed with each regeneration of the system. An exclusive crystalline media acts as a superior filter and softener that removes iron, manganese, and hardness - while raising pH to an acceptable level and securing chlorine for continued media sanitizing.

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.

When hard water becomes a problem for your household, there are many treatment options available to help alleviate the problem. However, buying a softener outright may not be within your financial abilities or you simply may not want to make a commitment to such a purchase. Thankfully for your convenience, at Lindyspring Systems we offer rental services! We have tons of rental customers who LOVE being able to get soft water by taking advantage our rental program. So, what are the benefits of renting a water softener? Here are 3 reasons why renting is more convenient than buying for some folks. Take a look:


1. You Can't Afford the Upfront Cost of Buying
The biggest factor for people choosing to rent is the financial side. To most people, the one time upfront fee of purchasing a water softener is daunting and without the relevant knowledge of which to buy, many people can pay too much for the system. By renting, the stress of financing a softener is eradicated. When renting, you'll only worry about a one-time small installation fee, the low monthly rental fee, and the cost for salt!

2. You Are Renting or Don't Plan to Reside Long in Your Home
Renting is often considered a short-term solution to an individual’s hard water problems. If you are undecided about the length of your tenure in your current property, then renting may be the best solution for you. There is very low commitment associated with rental because when you decide to move, you don't have to worry about relocating your water softener. You can just contact your Lindyspring provider and they will remove the softener for you and even move and reinstall it for you in your new property if you wish to continue renting!

3. You Don't Have to Worry About Maintenance or Repairs
When you rent a water softener through Lindyspring Systems, any maintenance issues that arise is handled by us. So besides making sure you're maintaining the salt levels as recommended, you can leave the maintenance worries to us! What's even better, is that our rental clients are very important to us - so if an issue does arise, we provide same day or next day service to ensure your softener is functioning properly without hassle or little downtime.

So, if you've got hard water problems, but don't want to purchase a water softener, you've got options! At Lindyspring Systems, we can help make sure you get the size of unit that is exactly right for your needs as well as install it in the most professional manner possible. Our rental softeners are typically new or in like new condition, so you don't have to worry about getting an old worn out model from us!

A water softening system can help you to avoid several problems associated with hard water in the home. A water softening system can enhance the life of your clothes, appliances, and plumbing. It does require an initial investment, but it will pay for itself over the years, and can help you to save thousands of dollars that you would have had to spend on repairing or replacing items. Check out some of the indication signs that you may need a water softener in your home.

1. Plumbing Repairs Become Necessary More Often
Hard water can clog your water pipes due to the buildup of limescale. As the flow of water in your pipes becomes increasingly restricted, the buildup of limescale occurs at a faster rate. Over a period of time, hard water will reduce the flow of water in your plumbing, and this can require costly repairs.

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. Lindyspring Systems is sharing 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.

Water is an important part of our day to day functions. You use water to drink, cook, do the dishes, wash clothes, take a shower, and for numerous other reasons. You probably don't think much about where the water coming out of your tap actually comes from, but it could play a role in the quality of your water. LindySpring Systems is going to share with you the process of how water gets to your home or business.

Do you seem to be going through a lot of shampoo or noticing that your dishes are coming out of the dishwasher spotty and you have to rewash them? Perhaps your clothes are looking dingy and not lasting nearly as long as you'd expect. Chances are you have hard water. It's actually a very common problem in our area. But just because it's a common problem, doesn't mean we should have to just put up with it. By getting a Lindyspring water treatment system, you could be saving yourself a lot of trouble. Take a look at some of the benefits that installing a water softener at the Lake of the Ozarks can provide.

1. Appliances Last Longer
The minerals that make up hard water are also what makes up scale buildup and mineral deposits in your plumbing and appliances. Scale from hard water can clog plumbing, and it damages your water-consuming appliances, wearing them down over time. They become less and less effective until eventually they break down. With softened water, washing machines could run with a water temperature of 60 degrees instead of 100 degrees and still remove tough stains. Appliances like dishwashers and washing machines are much more likely to retain the original factory efficiency rating for an extended time with softened water.

2. Less Soap and Detergent Required
Certain minerals in the hard water reacts with soaps or detergents, preventing it from interacting with soils, stains and dirty dishes. Softened water reduces the need for detergent by more than 50 percent because it doesn't contain the minerals that reacts with the cleaning products. Studies have even shown that with soft water, using cold water to clean works better than using hot hard water.

3. Hair and Skin is More Hydrated
Hard water and soap are not compatible. The soap reacts with the minerals in hard water, creating soap curd, leaving sticky residue on your skin and your pores clogged. Soft water can prevent clogged pores and allow soap to lather better on your skin. The minerals in hard water cause your hair cuticles to stand up, which can make your hair feel rough and dry and can strip your hair's natural oils which keep your hair naturally soft and shiny.

With Autumn at our doorsteps and winter on its way, the folks at Lindyspring Systems thought it'd be a fun idea to provide you with some fun festive recipes that you and your family can enjoy! So plan a get-together around the fire pit and check out these 5 great "fall' beverage recipes that'll have your family and friends feeling warm and festive!

Hot Cranberry Tea
Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 quarts water

• 2 lemons, juiced
• 12 whole cloves

Here at the Lake of the Ozarks, hard water is a problem that every homeowner deals with. But having hard water isn't the only issue that we face with our water sources. To help homeowners understand the types of water problems that are typical in Lake of the Ozarks region, Lindyspring Systems has put together a list of common contaminants relating to water quality in Missouri. Take a look.


Hydrogen Sulfide
If you live in a home with water that stinks like rotten eggs, there’s a good chance that hydrogen sulfide is the problem. Once again, there is no major risk to your health, but no one wants to bathe in or drink water that smells like rotten eggs.

Nitrates
Nitrate is a compound that is formed naturally when nitrogen combines with oxygen or ozone. Nitrogen is essential for all living things, but high levels of nitrate in drinking water can be dangerous to health, especially for infants and pregnant women. Runoff from fertilization may cause nitrate contamination of private wells. Yet another thing to keep in mind is that the presence of nitrates in water indicates the possibility of E.coli contamination. This is why it's so important for those whose water source comes from a private well to test their water regularly.

Iron
While iron in the water doesn’t pose any health risks, it can certainly be a nuisance. If you notice red, rusty stains in your sink, toilet, and tub – iron is probably to blame. High iron content in the water can stain your laundry, too. Plus, it may give your home’s water a metallic taste and affect the flavor of beverages like coffee and tea. It can also cause other problems such as clogged or corroded pipes and damaged appliances.

Manganese
When manganese is present in water, it is every bit as annoying as iron, perhaps even more so. In low concentrations it produces extremely objectionable stains on everything with which it comes in contact. Deposits collect in pipelines, and tap water may contain black sediment and turbidity due to precipitated manganese. When fabrics are washed in manganese-bearing water, dark brown or black stains are formed due to the oxidation of the manganese.

Every Home’s Water Situation is Unique
Residential water treatment is a science that takes time to master. Hooking up a water softener or an R.O. you buy at a big box store is unlikely to completely solve your water problems. You need a professional to come to your home, identify the issues, and assemble a system that meets your specific needs. Let us schedule a time to come out to test your water and determine what is needed to treat your specific water needs. We sell and lease residential and commercial water treatment systems at Lake of the Ozarks. Any type of water problem can be taken care of by us. Visit our website for more information.
