How will treated water affect my gas water heaters?
Treated water dramatically prolongs the life of your entire plumbing system, especially your water heater tanks. When heated, hard water precipitates the hardness elements out of the water and it collects along the insides and bottom of your water heaters’ tank. The build-up on the bottom of the tank is most severe and can accumulate very quickly. This creates a reverse insulation condition and forces your water heater’s gas burner to heat the water much longer than normal, wasting both gas energy and money.
