One of the most important things you can do for yourself to improve your health is to drink plenty of water. It's even been said that drinking water is a natural elixir of life. But with all the hectic tasks of daily life and the fact that water is virtually tasteless, sometimes it's difficult to motivate yourself to drink the recommended daily amount. So, this week, Lindyspring Systems is offering 5 clever ways to get yourself to drink more water.

1. Add Some Flavor
Meeting the recommended daily intake of water each day can seem like torture when every cup is tasteless. Add a bit of flavor by infusing fresh fruit, veggies, and/or herbs to your water. If you're on the run and don't have time to prepare an infused drink, you can also get the grab and go flavor packets from your local grocer and throw a few in your bag so you've got them with you wherever you go.

2. Sip Before Each Meal

Drinking 16 oz. of water before meals can help you lose weight. It helps to fill your stomach, making you feel fuller so you eat less during mealtimes. Just knowing that drinking up can help you eat less should be enough motivation to grab a glass. So next time you sit down for lunch with friends or co-workers, drink a glass of water before your server takes your order.

3. Use an App to Remind You

It's noon. How many glasses of water have you had so far? It's easy to lose track, especially when you're so busy at work and with other daily life activities. And unfortunately if you're not keeping track, you're risking the chance of dehydration. Keeping up with how many glasses you’ve finished can be easy with the help of a free app. Download a free water intake tracker app to your phone to keep track of how much water you've had. If you're not into downloading apps, you can always set a few alerts on your phone throughout the day to remind yourself to hit the water cooler.

4. Eat Water-Rich Foods

One sneaky way to increase the amount of water you consume on a daily basis is to eat foods that are water-rich. Add fruits and vegetables with a high water content to your grocery shopping list, such as cucumber, zucchini, watermelon, celery, and grapefruit. Not only will you be improving your health by eating your daily recommended amount of fruits and veggies, but you'll also be increasing your daily water intake without even thinking about it!

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.

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.

What is Well Water?
Well water is water that comes from the ground, called ground water. There is a threshold underground where water is stored beneath the surface of land. A well is a structure that is created to tap into, and deliver ground water, to a home or structure for use. A hole is dug into the ground and a pump is installed to pump fresh water to a residence for consumption.

Types of Wells
There are three types of private drinking water wells:

1. Dug wells are holes in the ground dug by shovel or backhoe and are typically lined (cased) with stones, brick, tile, or other material to prevent collapse. Because dug wells are typically shallow (approximately 10 to 30 feet deep) they have the highest contamination risk. 
2. Driven wells are hammered or hydraulically pushed into the ground and pull water from the water-saturated zone. Driven wells are also shallow (approximately 30 to 50 feet deep) and have a moderate-to-high risk of contamination from nearby land activities. 
3. Drilled wells are deeper (approximately 100 to 400 feet) and typically have metal or plastic pipe casing which protect the well water from sources of contamination. Drilled wells have a lower risk of contamination. However, no well can be assumed to be contamination-free.

Hard water can cause some pretty expensive problems in the home if left untreated. Installing a Lindyspring water treatment system in your home can help reduce water contaminants, scale buildup, and electricity use in your home. Our water softeners are designed to make cleaning easier, deliver better tasting water, and extend the life of your appliances. This week, we'll share with you 4 benefits of having a residential water softener at the Lake of the Ozarks.

1. Cleaner Plumbing System
Over time, hard water can leave your home's plumbing system riddled with scaly deposits and mineral buildup. Our water softeners can help to reduce mineral deposits and minimize buildup and reduce the risks of clogs and corrosion. Keep your shower heads and sink faucets looking and working like new with soft treated water.
