Fight Chattanooga’s Hard Water with a Water Softener

Install or repair a first-class water softening system. Your skin, hair, appliances, and plumbing system will thank you!

Depending on where you live in East Tennessee, the hardness of your water can vary greatly. Chattanooga city water is generally prone to hardness, but venture into Hixson or Soddy Daisy, and the natural water supply becomes chock full of minerals like calcium and magnesium. While some folks enjoy the taste of this mineral-infused water, it can do a number on your plumbing pipes and appliances that use hot water, not to mention your hair and nails. If you want to protect the integrity of your plumbing system, a water softener is an excellent choice.

At Patriot Services, we’ve been helping homeowners in East Tennessee & North Georgia improve their water quality for decades. If you’re ready to enjoy better hair and nail health and extend the lifespan of appliances like your water heater, dishwasher, and washing machine, our team has a solution. Call us today to learn more about our top-of-the-line water softener systems, explore our financing options, and get an upfront estimate for your water softener installation.

Let’s turn the tide in the battle against hard water

How Does a Water Softener Work?

A water softener tackles hard water through a process called ion exchange. Hard water is laden with minerals like calcium and magnesium, which have an electrical charge. When hard water enters a home with a water-softening system, it encounters a tank with a bed of tiny resin beads. These resin beads are also electrically charged, and they attract the mineral ions like a magnet. The hard minerals stick to the beads, which release sodium in exchange, a soft mineral that won’t cause scale buildup in your pipes.

The sodium purifies the water, but it occurs in such small amounts that you won’t ever notice it. All you’ll be left with is clean, clear, soft water that is easier on your skin, your clothes and dishes, and your plumbing system!

How to Tell if You Have Hard Water

If you live near Chattanooga, chances are high that you have hard water. Many communities surrounding the Scenic City rely on utilities that are sourced from natural aquifers or artesian wells, including Hixson and Soddy Daisy. If you struggle with any of the following issues, it may be time to consider a water softener:

SOAP SCUM: This is a common indicator of hard water. If you notice a filmy residue on your hands after washing them or soap scum buildup on shower doors, faucets, and sinks, it could be a sign of hard water.
SKIN & HAIR PROBLEMS: Hard water can make your skin feel dry and itchy, and your hair can look dull and lifeless.
PROBLEMS WITH APPLIANCES: Hard water can reduce the efficiency of appliances that use water, such as dishwashers and washing machines. You may also notice mineral buildup on the inside of these appliances.
DISHER WITH SPOTS: If your dishes come out of the dishwasher with white spots or a film, it could be due to hard water.

Hear from Happy Customers

This is an awesome company and so very courteous and professional! They recently replaced one of two heating elements on our hot water heater. They were very quick to come out, as in the next day after we. We also had them out last year after another plumbing company tried four times to get rid of a sewer line clog and then tried to say that our lines were too small. This company had the camera and went right in and saw where the other company had been pushing a hole through the clog but never actually cleared it. We definitely recommend this company!!

In my time of needing fast emergency service, Patriot provided me with the quick, efficient and professional service. Mr. Valdez was the expert technical to perform the job of installing my new water heater, which is performing very well. Mr. Valdez is very knowledgeable in the product, installation and pricing. The administration was very helpful in getting a quick appointment time. I really liked the photo of the tech including in the appointment text. Thanks to the entire staff for their quick response and service.

Came home late Monday night from work to find a busted water spigot and had to shut the water to the house off. I woke up early the next morning to call around and find a plumber. Patriot was the only one who could get me in by the next day. Would 100% recommend Garrett and will ask for him again if any future repairs are needed.
