Get the Luxury of Soft Water from the General

Into every life, a little luxury must fall. That could be in the shape of a luxurious water softener system from General Air Conditioning & Plumbing. Once you go “soft,” you’ll never go back to “hard” as you enjoy the many benefits:

• Shiny soft hair
• Soft & cleaner laundry
• No hard-water spots on your dishes or shower stall
• No scaly deposits on your tubs or toilets

We all know the Coachella Valley is a great place to live and work, but our hard water with its high mineral content can leave your skin feeling dry and sticky. There’s even some evidence children can develop eczema because of it. Hard water also causes mineral deposits to build up in your pipes. The homeowner may not realize what’s happening until the buildup causes plumbing problems in your Palm Springs, CA home.

Don’t feel like you have to just put up with the hard water. Call the General to find out how affordable this little slice of luxury can be. We feature water softeners by H2O Harmony Elite, an industry leader in water treatment and filtration. With each water softener installation, the General will provide free delivery of your water softener salt for one full year.

Without getting into a boring scientific explanation, the softener salt creates an ion exchange in the tank, removing things like calcium and magnesium. When those minerals are present, the hard water makes soaps and detergents much less effective. The soap forms a curd rather than dissolving in the water. In laundry, the curd can actually keep dirt trapped in the fibers of clothes and bedding, making the fabric feel stiff and rough. A water softener system can also save you money. Mineral deposits in your water heater can make it operate less efficiently meaning it takes more energy. Soft water will prolong the lifespan of your plumbing pipes and fixtures.

Have we convinced you yet? Here’s the bottom line: Not everyone can afford luxuries like exotic sports cars, international vacations, vacation homes on a tropical island, and designer clothes. But a water softener installation by the General is a luxury just about everyone can afford. Call us now and let the General put a little luxury into your life.
