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. This week we are featuring our Lindyspring Sanitizer Water Conditioning System:

Lindyspring Sanitizer

Ideal for homeowners who use well water.

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 acceptable level and securing chlorine for continued media sanitizing.

Features of the Lindyspring Sanitizer System:

• Bypass Valve
• Digital Demand Controller
• Full One-Inch Riser
• Fiberglass Reinforced Media Tank
• Self-Cleaning Distributors
• Positive-Action Brine Valve
• Crystal Right (CR100, CR200)
• Washed Quartz Underbedding
• Patented KDF Material

Have you noticed that your family seems to be going through a lot of shampoo or that your dishes are coming out of the dishwasher spotty and you have to rewash them? 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 ways a water softener at the Lake of the Ozarks can benefit your home.


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.

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.

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.

If you're experiencing hard water problems at the Lake of the Ozarks, it's time to do something about it. The Lindyspring 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. Count on Lindyspring Systems, the best water treatment company at the Lake of the Ozarks, to provide you with the best possible water quality for your home or business!

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

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.

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.


There you have it! You now have several ways to fit water into your everyday lifestyle to improve your health and hydration. For tastier healthier water in your home, contact Lindyspring System today to get information on a water treatment system at the Lake of the Ozarks that will work best for your home.
