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.

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.

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.

We had a great experience having our full house replumbed, all new drain and water lines. Carlos did a great job making sure the installation was done correctly and smoothly. He kept us updated regularly and was always on time. They had to dig up part of our yard to replace lines and put everything back together nicely and without damaging any of our plants or flower beds. Our house was cleaned up when they were finished as well. We have had no issues following installation. I would highly recommend their services to my friends and family and would use them again in the future!

I have called Patriot again at 2 different times , a few weeks apart , for 2 different issues such as faucet shower dripping and clogged kitchen sink. Seth and Pillas came to fix each of the problem in their separate visits. I’m giving each of them a 5 star rating. Yes , you can guess why. They came on time and did the job well at the shortest time possible, and efficiently!
Thanks again , Patriot for your reliable and excellent plumbers!
