Hard water problems at the Lake of the Ozarks can be a real hassle. Solving those problems can vastly improve quality of life and get things back to normal again. If your home gets water from a well, you most likely have hard water. But it’s not just a rural issue. The U.S. Geological Survey says 85% of homes in the nation have hard water - even from city municipal sources. So, what is hard water and how can you correct the issue? We're sharing with you what you need to know.

What is Hard Water?
Water ‘hardness’ is caused by the minerals calcium and magnesium in ground and surface water. If either or both minerals are present in your drinking water in high concentrations, the water is considered ‘hard.’ These minerals come from sedimentary rock such as limestone that dissolves into our water. The result of hard water is difficulty making lather or suds for washing and a build-up of minerals on taps and on other fixtures. Water containing low concentrations of calcium or magnesium is called ‘soft’ water.

How Can I Tell If I Have Hard Water?
Water hardness is demonstrated by scale buildup in water heaters or on plumbing fixtures, by soap deposits on dishes and fabrics, and by soap scum in sinks and bathtubs.

What Makes My Water Hard?
As water passes through the atmosphere in the form of rain, snow, sleet, hail, dew, or fog, it picks up impurities and gases. And, because water is the universal solvent, it picks up even more impurities as it travels through the earth as ground water. Whatever the water comes in contact with, it will dissolve a part of it.

How Can I Fix Hard Water?
A water softener replaces the ‘hardness’ minerals with sodium or potassium. The amounts of these elements added to the water are relatively insignificant in comparison to what is ingested from your food and should not pose a health problem.

Most often, water softeners are regenerated with salt and water. Regeneration is a process in which the softening materials inside the softener can be used over and over again. Once the regeneration is completed, the salt and water solution is flushed into the drain.

Your body relies on certain minerals for maintaining a healthy heart rate, building strong bones, making hormones and boosting brain power. Minerals are important for a healthy body and mind. We can get those essential minerals by consumption of foods and drinks. However, there are some minerals often found in our drinking water that can be harmful to the body when consumed. Lindyspring Systems has come up with a list of the 3 most common minerals found in drinking water that can be harmful if consumed.



1. Fluoride

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 your water you use in your home or business can affect the performance of your appliances, water heater, health, plumbing and much more! Lindyspring Systems would like to share with you average water usages and how a water treatment systems 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 near 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.

Dish Washer

Newer dishwashers use an average of four gallons of water per load, but if you have an older model you could be using ten to fifteen gallons per load. For those of you who don't have a water treatment solution, your dishes probably don't come out clean every time. If your dishes aren't coming clean, you have to re-wash them. This forces you to spend extra time and uses more water and energy to wash your dishes. Are you tired of your dishes not coming out of the dishwasher clean every time? Contact Lindyspiring Systems! We have a water treatment solution at the Lake of the Ozarks that could help! Our water softeners at the Lake Of the Ozarks would be the perfect fit for anyone who wants their dishwasher or other appliances to run more efficiently.     

Drinking Water 

It is recommended that you drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day. If you are accustomed to drinking water out the tap, did you know that there could be contaminants in your water that could affect your health? Chlorine, lead, and fluoride could be in your water coming from your faucet. There are numerous risks you take when drinking unfiltered water such as mental development, heart damage, and delays physical development just to name a few. Our Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System can help to filter out unwanted and harmful contaminants. Our goal at Lindysping Systems is to provide the cleanest and healthiest water possible for you and your family!

Consuming and using water is a necessity to live! Are missing out on key benefits from your water such as softer, cleaner, filtered water?

Plus, if you don't like the water from your sink, you're likely buying bottled water, which can be very costly over time! When you are ready to save time, money, and have the cleanest water possible, you can count on Lindyspring Systems!

To create safe drinking water in a Lake of the Ozarks home or business requires just the right set of conditions to be brought together in just the right way. This includes practical use of filtration and purification technologies. Actually, creating safe drinking water for your family begins with understanding the difference between a water filter and a water purifier. Lindyspring Systems Lake of the Ozarks shares with you today the difference between the two to better educate you on safe drinking water solutions at the Lake of the Ozarks.

What is a Water Filter?

Many people wonder if buying a water softener at the Lake of the Ozarks is worth the money. We at Lindyspring Systems know that not only is it worth the money you'll spend on getting one, but it'll save you a lot of trouble and expense in the long run. To better help you understand the benefits of having a water softener at the Lake of the Ozarks, we've answered some frequently asked questions for your convenience.

Can you drink soft water?

Although many people believe soft water should not be drunk because of the sodium content, most do not realize how little sodium is in the water. Over 95% of our minerals come from our food and less than 5% from drinking water. The amount of sodium a water softener adds to tap water depends on the “Hardness” of your water. The higher the concentration of calcium and magnesium, the more sodium needed to soften the water. Still, the amount of sodium in softened water that was originally very hard shouldn’t be cause for concern. (www.MayoClinic.com)

Why does soft water not rinse the soap off? Showering in soft water makes my skin feel “slick”.

Showering in soft water may give you the sensation that soap and shampoo haven’t been rinsed away.  The “slick” feeling is actually your skin and hair thoroughly clean. Bathing with soft water, skin and hair retain natural moisturizing agents, feeling softer and smoother. Your skin will be healthier all winter long and not be so dry and itchy. Hair needs less conditioner and will not get so much build up on it from styling products.

Are water softeners expensive to operate?

A water softener is the only household appliance that can save you money. The cost of the electricity it uses is less than $6.00 per year. Soft water will help your appliances such as your water heater and dishwasher run more efficiently and last longer. Soft water also uses 50-70% less detergent to laundry and dishes. A Lindyspring water softener can also save you hours of housework by eliminating mineral deposits and soap scum on your fixtures.

Should I buy an electronic or magnetic device to soften my water?

Do not be fooled! While a lot of these devices do exist, only water softeners soften water. In the industry these magnets are referred to as “Descalers”, not softeners. They may be effective in certain applications as descalers, but they do not remove the hardness of the water. All of the benefits of softened water are forfeited. These items are sold with testimonials and a money back 90 day guarantee, but there is no scientific evidence to support their claims. If it sounds too good to be true, then it most likely is!

Can the discharge from a water softener’s regeneration damage my septic system or drainfield?

In studies conducted by the University of Wisconsin in the late 1970s, it was confirmed that salt brine discharge from water softeners caused no problems in the operation of typical and newer style home treatment plants. High concentrations of calcium and manganese in the softener backwash water have no effect on the biological functions occurring in the septic tank and may, in some cases be helpful. The additional volume of wastewater generated is added slowly to the wastewater stream and does not cause any hydraulic overload problems. (Corey et al., 1977)

Do water softeners waste water and salt?

When you are shopping for a water softener at the Lake of the Ozarks, be sure to check the specifications for efficiency. If sized properly, a water softener will only regenerate 1 or 2 times per week. Always look for an electronic demand softener which meters water usage and adjusts accordingly. With the use of new technology such as upflow brining and metered electronic demand, today’s water softeners are much more efficient than those of yesteryear. It is not uncommon for a good quality softener to use less than 2 pounds of salt and less than 30 gallons of water per regeneration. Remember this piece of trivia – the total amount of water used to manufacture a new car, including tires is 39,090 gallons. Softeners do not waste water!

Pets are family members. We make every effort to ensure their safety and health. We take them to the vet, we feed them healthy food and we try to give them plenty of exercise. But have you thought about the water you're allowing them to drink? If you're filling their water bowl from the tap with untreated, unfiltered water, you could be putting them at risk for illnesses. Water from the tap, if untreated, can be very hard and have lots of contaminants in the water as well, such as lead, copper, fluoride and chlorine. In today's blog, the best water treatment company at the Lake of the Ozarks explains some of the reasons why you should give your pets filtered water.

1. To Avoid Contaminants
Tap water has many different contaminants. A filter can get rid of all of these contaminants, making the water safe for all who drink it. By giving your dog filtered water, you can help to prevent illnesses that may occur if your dog were to drink unfiltered water. The fewer contaminants that your pet ingests, the better chances it has of maintaining a strong immune system. Giving a dog filtered water can also reduce the number of allergies. If you are out and about with your pet, fill up a water bottle with filtered water for them to drink.

2. To Help Regulate Water Intake
Water is an important part of a dog’s diet. Much like humans, if dogs don't get the appropriate amount of water, they can incur serious ailments. Not drinking enough water can cause them to become dehydrated and make them sick. However, too much water can cause stomach issues like bloating. Having cold, filtered water can help them control the amount of water they intake and keep them healthy.

3. Because It Tastes Better
Pets can be finicky when it comes to the water they drink. And while you may be thinking 'my dog drinks from the toilet, there's no way he/she is picky about their water', that's actually WHY they're choosing to drink from the toilet. Believe it or not, pets sometimes prefer to drink out of the toilet than the tap water that has been sitting out in their drinking bowl because it's fresh and cold, and typically has fewer chemicals. If you want to ensure that your dog is drinking clean water, not from the toilet, be sure to give them fresh, cold filtered water.

Clean Filtered Water For Your Pets From Lindyspring Lake of the Ozarks
