Recent information in the news discussed the hard water problems associated with tankless water heaters since the ban on Automatic Water Softeners went into effect. The columnist answers questions of residents in the Santa Clarita Valley.
The specific question to him in question comes from a homeowner who had removed his Sears Automatic Water Softener to be in compliance with the softener ban and now finds that his aerators were clogging up with what looks like small chunks of scale in the sink faucets and showerheads. In addition to the inconvenience of the clogged sink faucets and showerheads he was concerned that there might be a damaging situation with his tankless water heater. The resident had already installed a multimedia water filter/conditioner that did not seem to help.
The discussion provided some instructions on the flushing of the tankless water heater and also made some recommendations of available water conditioning appliances on the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts Website where the Water Softener ban is detailed. It also pointed out that water hardness that exceeded three grains per gallon is considered a problem. The water hardness throughout the Santa Clarita Valley typically exceeds 20 grains per gallon. Residents of the Valley are increasingly becoming aware of the water hardness challenges to their water heaters, water using appliances and fixtures since the water softener ban was put in place.
