Finding Work: The Value of an Employment Agency

Owing to a rough economy, my employer had to cut back, and I was one of the employees that had to go. With no immediate prospects, but plenty of bills to manage, I decided to sign up with an employment agency. That decision turned out to be the best thing I could've done. The agency found an assignment for me in a matter of days. When it was completed, they had another one waiting. That second assignment led to an offer of permanent employment. If you are out of work, let me tell you about the perks of working with an employment agency. By the time I'm done, you'll be on the way out the door to sign up and get back into the work force.

Should You Get A Home Water Softener?

14 September 2021
 Categories: Business, Blog

Are you debating if you should get a salt-based water softener for your home? If so, it will help to know some of the advantages and disadvantages of softening the water before it gets used.

Water Softeners Exchange Hard Minerals For Soft Minerals

A water softener works by using an ion-exchange process to swap out the minerals that cause hard water for those that make it soft. This means getting rid of the magnesium and calcium and putting sodium and potassium in their place. It provides an immediate difference when it comes to the quality of your home's water.

Water Softeners Help Soap Lather And Rinse Off

One of the first benefits you'll probably notice is when you take a shower or wash the dishes. That is because the soaps are going to lather much better than they did before with those hard minerals gone from the water. When it comes time to rinse off soap from your body or a surface, the soft water helps carry away any soap residue, which makes everything feel a bit cleaner.

Water Softeners Reduce Scaling And Lime Deposits

Have you noticed white straining around your faucets? These are scaling and lime mineral deposits left behind from hard water, and they can ruin your plumbing and fixtures over time. A water softener is going to remove those minerals that leave those deposits, which will improve the lifespan of the plumbing in your home.

Water Softeners Make Your Appliances Last Longer

Soft water is going to make your home appliances more energy efficient because it is easier to work with soft water. You'll find that your washing machine, dishwater, water heater, and ice machine have a longer lifespan because the water that they use is not causing damage to their interior parts. 

Water Softeners Make Clothes Feel Softer

Ever take clothing out of your washing machine and notice that they feel a bit stiff? This is one of the disadvantages of washing your clothes with hard water. A water softener will make a big difference in how your clothing feels since you will not be washing your clothes with water that contains magnesium and calcium. You'll also notice that your bright-colored clothes will remain brighter.

Water Softeners Use More Water

The process of making your water soft is actually going to use more water. This may not be an issue if you are using well water, but can be if you use city water and pay for all the water that comes out of a tap in your home.
