Soft Water Exchange Tank Service: An Eco-Friendly Water Treatment Option
When it comes to water treatment, many modern homeowners are looking for options that meet their family’s needs but also minimize their environmental footprint. That’s exactly why we offer soft water exchange tank service – the eco-friendly and sustainable solution to your hard water problems!
Here, we’ll explain what soft water exchange tank service is. Then, we’ll show you how this option may be preferred over traditional salt-based water softeners for homeowners concerned about sustainability.
What is Soft Water Exchange Tank Service?
First, it’s important to understand that you may also hear this service referred to as soft water delivery or portable exchange tank service – different terms but they mean the same thing! Soft water exchange tank service involves the delivery of pre-softened water to your home in tanks that are routinely exchanged when depleted. You and your water treatment company determine the delivery schedule based upon your household’s water usage and budget. The tanks are maintained and regenerated at another facility, not your home, and require no drain, salt, or electricity to run.
Now, let’s take a look at some of the environmental benefits that make this service a greener alternative to your average residential water softener.
4 Reasons Why Soft Water Exchange Tank Service is an Eco-Friendly Water Treatment Option
1. Reduced Salt Usage
With traditional salt-based water softeners, regular salt refills are required for water softener operation. When the softener goes through its regeneration process, salty water is discharged into the sewer or septic system. Over time, salt can make its way into groundwater sources and affect soil quality. In addition, excessive salt can impact aquatic life and have negative effects on sensitive ecosystems.
With soft water exchange tank service, the regeneration process happens at an off-site facility, one that’s specifically designed for efficiency. The result is less overall salt usage and less environmental impact from salt discharge.
2. Less Water Waste
Depending on the model, traditional water softeners can use anywhere from 35 to 65 gallons of water per regeneration cycle. This adds up over time and can contribute to significant water consumption, a concern for areas where water conservation is necessary.
In contrast, regeneration of soft water delivery tanks at an off-site facility is much more efficient. This helps minimize water waste and supports local water conservation efforts.
3. Lower Energy Usage
Traditional water softeners require electricity for the regeneration cycle. This can increase your home’s overall energy usage and expenses. Portable exchange tanks don’t require electricity in the same way, however. No regeneration process is completed at your home, so you can enjoy lower energy usage with soft water delivery vs. a traditional softener. Overall energy usage is reduced as well, since the facilities where the tanks ARE regenerated are much more energy-efficient.
4. Less Maintenance, More Sustainability
One of the underrated environmental benefits of soft water exchange tank service is reduced maintenance needs. Traditional systems require regular maintenance and repairs, leading to the disposal of parts and the use of additional resources. Exchange tanks are maintained at the service provider’s facility, which is better equipped to handle upkeep with minimal waste.
By reducing the amount of physical maintenance and repair parts needed, you contribute to a lower waste footprint overall.
