Hard water can lead to all kinds of issues, making water softeners, the perfect addition to your home.

The water supply we have here is known to be quite hard, which means that it has high levels of mineral content. Mineral deposits from the water can wreak havoc on your skin and hair, as well as your home’s plumbing system, and water softener installation can help remedy these issues. Read on to learn more about the problems hard water can cause and what you can do about them, or call the licensed plumbers at Golden Rule to schedule service!

Water Softener Installation and Repair Services

When there is mineral content present in your water, it can leave residue behind as you use it. This can result in dry, flaky skin and lackluster, brittle hair.

Not only that, but hard water can also leave deposits inside your pipes, leading to faster deterioration of those pipes and greater risk of drain blockages. You may also notice diminished water pressure as mineral buildup narrows the openings in your taps and shower heads.

Water softener installation comes with a wide range of benefits, including:

Softer skin and hair
Reduced wear and tear on plumbing
Better-tasting drinking water from taps
Less frequent drain clogs
Fewer plumbing issues overall

Water softener installation is quick and easy. Your plumber can complete the job in just an hour or two. They’ll simply need to connect the water softener system to your home’s incoming water line. Most water softeners utilize salts to attract the minerals present in the water, effectively removing them before the water even enters your home.

For the most part, all you’ll need to do to care for your water softener is replenish the salt in the tank periodically as it runs out. You can find softener salt at any home improvement store and at many big box retailers as well, and it is remarkably affordable.

However, you may occasionally need water softener repair if something goes wrong with your system. If you notice that your water doesn’t taste as good as it once did or that your hair and skin aren’t feeling as healthy, this could indicate the need for water softener repair. Call your plumber right away for a system inspection.

Hey there this is Dustin from Golden Rule! Your water heater works hard all year, but it’s especially important during the winter. Let’s go over a few simple steps to make sure it’s ready to keep up when temperatures drop. First, it’s a good idea to flush your water heater once a year. If you skip this step, sediment buildup can reduce efficiency and even cause your water heater to fail right when you need it most—in the middle of winter. Next, check the temperature. Most water heaters are set to 140°F, by lowering your water heater to 120°F you can save you up to 10% on your water heating costs. Plus, lowering the temperature to 120°F not only saves energy, but it also makes your home safer, especially if you have kids or elderly family members who are more prone to burns. Lastly, If your water heater is in a cold space like a basement or garage, consider adding a water heater blanket. This will help insulate the tank and prevent heat loss, making it work less hard to heat the water. A little maintenance now means no cold showers later.

Hey, homeowners, this is Dustin from Golden Rule! Winter is coming, and frozen pipes can turn into a nightmare if you're not prepared. Let’s talk about five easy steps to winterize your plumbing and avoid costly repairs. First, drain and disconnect your garden hoses. You might think leaving them attached isn’t a big deal, but trapped water can freeze, expand, and burst your pipes. A burst pipe isn’t just a mess, it can cost you thousands in repairs, not to mention the headache of water damage. Next, let’s talk about outdoor faucets. Grab some faucet covers—super cheap and easy to install—to keep the cold out. If your house is older, you may need to shut off and drain the pipes leading to those faucets, too. Third tip: check your home for any exposed pipes. If you find any in places like your basement, garage, or crawl spaces, wrap them up with insulation. Pipe insulation sleeves are your best friend here. Another tip, keep an eye on your indoor temperature. If you're leaving for the holidays, don’t set your thermostat lower than 55 degrees. It might seem like a way to save money, but frozen pipes cost way more. Finally, run your faucets a little during super cold nights—just a small trickle of water. It helps relieve pressure in the pipes and can stop them from freezing. A little drip of water might seem wasteful, but it’s a lot cheaper than fixing a frozen pipe. These five tips might only take you an hour, but they could save you from a winter plumbing disaster.

Help homeowners or DIYers understand how to safely relight the pilot light on their gas water heater using the newer piezo ignitor system. Having trouble with your water heater not heating water? It could be something as simple as the pilot light going out. No need to worry—relighting it is easier than you think and can save you from a cold shower! Let’s get started! Before we jump in, safety is the first step. Turn off the gas valve and wait a few minutes to let any gas clear. If you smell gas at any point, stop immediately and call a professional—don’t take chances. You’ll find the pilot light and the gas control valve near the bottom of your water heater. The piezo ignitor button will be located right on the control valve, and this is what you’ll use to relight the pilot without needing a match or lighter. Turn the gas control valve to the 'Pilot' position. This only lets gas flow to the pilot light, making it safe to relight. Now, instead of using a lighter, you’ll press the piezo ignitor button. Press the piezo ignitor while holding down the pilot control button—this will create a spark to relight the pilot. You’ll hear a click when it sparks. This may take a couple times with the piezo ignitor to light the pilot. Hold the button for 30 seconds or until you see that the pilot flame is steady and strong. Once the pilot light is steady, release the button and turn the gas control valve to the 'On' position. Now, your water heater should start heating up again. And just like that, your water heater is back up and running. If you’re ever unsure about relighting the pilot light, don’t hesitate to call a pro—it’s always better to be safe.
