❶ Fix Your Shower Curtain

When your shower curtain is clinging to anything but your bathtub, shower time is not so enjoyable. Instead, it is a constant tugging and flinging battle. If you don’t want to waste precious money on water, it is wise to fix your shower curtain problem and finally get the relaxation you deserve. You have two options for taming a wayward shower curtain. You can either purchase a new, weighted shower curtain, or you can purchase some magnets and glue them to the outside of your tub and the inside of your curtain. If you are using magnets, avoid the smaller ones. Heavy duty magnets stick much better.

❷ Increase Your Water Pressure

To some extent, the water pressure in your home is out of your control. However, there are a few tricks that you can use to improve the level of water pressure you currently have. The first thing you can do is clean your shower head of any lime scale build up. This accumulation of lime scale is a result of hard mineral ions in your tap water, and can cause the showerhead openings to clog. And when parts of the showerhead are clogged, you are not getting the full capacity of water you should be receiving. By eliminating these blockages, you are inviting more water streams to come through your showerhead, thus improving your water pressure. If showerhead clogs are not the issue, your next option for increasing water pressure is to purchase a newer model showerhead. Many older models do not offer certain streaming features and increased surface area. Newer models have features than can increase the water pressure and make your shower experience top notch.

❸ Improve Your Water Quality

A shower cannot be top notch unless the water is as soft as it can be. Soft water is very good for the look, feel, and overall condition of your skin, hair, and nails. The hard mineral ions mentioned before can have a negative effect on all of these areas of your body, and more. For this reason, softening your water is a must. You can achieve this by upgrading your current water softener. If you do not have a water softener, then you would need to buy one and have it installed by a professional. Not only do these appliances improve the look, feel, and taste of your water, they ultimately improve your overall shower experience! And by the way, they save you money on water and plumbing repair too!

Effects of Hard Water

Hard water can also negatively affect your water-related appliances and systems, such as your water heater, boiler, washing machine, plumbing pipes, and more. The accumulation of sediment causes the internal workings of these systems to corrode overtime, leading to poor performance, safety issues, and costly repairs. For these reasons and more, it is vital to maintain a functioning water softener. Water softeners are the best method of removing hard mineral ions from a home’s water. If you do not have one already, this is your answer to your hard water problem. Be sure to contact a licensed plumber for help with water softener advice, selection, installation, and service.
