Hard water is an unfortunate part of living and working in big cities. Many office buildings are left dealing with the damage caused by mineral deposits from their water supply. The minerals in hard water damage appliances, clog up pipes and even affect the well-being of employees. The best way to avoid all this is to get an office water softening system and change the composition of the water.
Now, you might be reading all this thinking there's no way that anyone will sign off on an expensive water-softening system for your office. They might, however, if you can convince them that the long-term savings make up for any short-term expenses. It's all about the bigger picture. Here are some of the ways they can save.
1) Lower maintenance costs
Ongoing limescale buildups in pipes and plumbing will worsen without someone to maintain the systems. Long-term damage can also cause serious plumbing problems due to a loss of water pressure or physical harm. At some point, companies will have to pay plumbers and other service providers a lot of money to fix something that may have been preventable. A water softener can end that cycle of things being broken, repaired, broken, replaced, and broken again.
2) Lower cleaning costs
Cleaning costs might not be that high per individual session, but they do add up. Companies that need to spend longer dealing with mineral deposits or that charge for more intensive cleaning services will want higher costs. It's that or the option of paying for cleaning products and expecting staff to handle it instead. Obviously, that option isn't going to go down well.

3) Fewer new appliances
Over time, those mineral buildups will cause damage to appliances in company breakrooms and kitchens. Think about how many people use the breakroom kettle and deserve something that is clean and effective. While kettles are small-scale costs, dishwashers aren't. Having to replace one of those after it breaks down will require a large chunk of the company budget. If you fail to comply with that request, you could have some very unhappy employees using hard water to wash dishes by hand.
4) Drinking water
Installing a drinking water filter together with your water softener, will provide a clean filtered great tasting drinking water from the kitchen tap. This is is the most convenient way of having a constant supply of filtered drinking water in your office. Contact us to find out more about drinking water filter options for your business.

It could end up being a wise investment that protects the building, the company budget, and the health of employees.
