Question 6

Is there really a difference between hard and soft water?

Accepted Answer

Short answer: yes. Long answer: definitely yes. Hard water, in short, is water that contains an excessive quantity of dissolved minerals like calcium, magnesium, and so on. Soft water, on the other hand, is treated so harmful minerals don&rsquo;t build up. For comparison, natural rainwater is soft, not hard. Hard water can cause considerable damage to plumbing fixtures, pipes, and the things water in your home touches such as laundry and even your skin. If you suspect you have a hard water problem, we recommend getting in touch with a professional to get it fixed before it causes any expensive, long-lasting damage to your plumbing.

Question 11

My hot water seems to be at a higher temperature than it should be.

Accepted Answer

Manufacturers use 120 degrees Fahrenheit as a standard temperature when presetting your water heater at the factory. This temperature is sufficient for most households. If you have an older model, you can set the thermostat at medium. Gas models usually have a dial on the front of the gas valve. Electric models usually have two thermostats hidden behind the two panels on the side.
It is also important to keep in mind that hot water minimizes the growth of bacteria.
The recommended temperature for your particular needs can be determined by your Houston 24/7 Plumbing professional.
Note: Before performing any personal maintenance, turn off the electricity to the water heater. There may be exposed wires behind the panels that may cause an extreme shock.

Question 14

When I hear a rumbling sound coming from the water heater, what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Rumbling sounds can be an indication of sediment buildup at the bottom of your water heater. This can lead to trapped water boiling which affects the efficiency. To help dissipate it, you can attach a drain hose to the valve and let it run for about five minutes. Newer models offer protection against this, but if you have an older one, it may be worth replacing entirely.
Houston 24/7 Plumbing offers year-round maintenance to assist with this issue.
Remember: hot water is dangerous! Discharge it into a floor drain, laundry tub or bathtub, and make sure you turn off the power before draining.

Question 15

Can you tell me what the white substance around my shower head and faucet is?

Accepted Answer

The buildup of mineral deposits can cause an unsightly appearance. To get rid of them, take a plastic bag and put a cup of vinegar inside. Tie it onto the showerhead and let it sit overnight. Come morning, remove the bag and gently scrub away any remaining deposits with an old toothbrush. Additional cleaning methods may involve removing faucet aerators to soak in the vinegar solution overnight.
