Benefits of Installing a Water Softener
Hard water can cause a range of issues in your home, from appliance damage to dry skin. Installing a water softener can alleviate these problems and provide numerous benefits. Putman and Son’s Plumbing is here to explain why you should consider adding a water softener to your plumbing system.
What is Hard Water? Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium, which can lead to mineral buildup in your pipes, appliances, and fixtures. This buildup reduces efficiency and can cause damage over time.
Benefits of a Water Softener:
- Extended Appliance Lifespan: Water softeners reduce mineral buildup in appliances like dishwashers and washing machines, extending their lifespan and improving efficiency.
- Better Skin and Hair: Soft water is gentler on your skin and hair, reducing dryness and irritation.
- Cleaner Dishes and Laundry: Soft water prevents soap scum and mineral deposits, resulting in cleaner dishes and brighter laundry.
- Cost Savings: By reducing scale buildup, water softeners can lower energy bills and maintenance costs for your plumbing system.
Our Water Softener Services: At Putman and Son’s Plumbing, we offer professional water softener installation and maintenance services. Our team can assess your water quality and recommend the best system for your needs.
Investing in a water softener can improve your home’s water quality and provide numerous long-term benefits. Contact Putman and Son’s Plumbing today to learn more about our water softener services and how we can help you enjoy the advantages of soft water.
Choosing the Right Water Heater
Choosing the right water heater for your home is essential for comfort and efficiency. Putman and Son’s Plumbing is here to guide you through the process, ensuring you make an informed decision that meets your needs and budget.
Types of Water Heaters:
- Tankless Water Heaters: These heaters provide hot water on demand, are energy-efficient, and take up less space. They’re ideal for smaller households or those looking to reduce their energy consumption.
- Storage Tank Water Heaters: These are the most common type and store a large amount of hot water for immediate use. They’re suitable for larger households with higher hot water demands.
- Heat Pump Water Heaters: These are highly energy-efficient as they use electricity to move heat from the air or ground to heat the water. They’re best for homes in moderate to warm climates.
- Solar Water Heaters: These heaters use solar panels to capture and convert sunlight into energy to heat water. They’re an eco-friendly option, though initial installation costs can be high.
Factors to Consider:
- Household Size: Consider the number of people in your household and their hot water usage habits.
- Energy Efficiency: Look for water heaters with high energy efficiency ratings to save on utility bills.
- Cost: Factor in both the upfront cost and the long-term savings on energy bills.
- Space: Determine the available space for installation and whether a tankless or tank water heater is more suitable.

Hose Bibs: Essential for Your Outdoor Plumbing Needs
A hose bib, or outdoor faucet, is a critical component of your home’s plumbing system. It allows you to easily access water outside your home for gardening, car washing, and other outdoor tasks. Understanding the different types of hose bibs and how to maintain them can save you from potential headaches, especially in colder climates.
What is the difference between a frost-free and a standard hose bib?
A frost-free hose bib has a shut-off valve that turns the water on and off inside the home. When properly installed, the water drains to the outside as long as there is nothing attached to the end of the hose bib. This feature prevents the water inside the pipe from freezing and causing damage.
What steps should I take to protect my hose bib from the winter cold?
Proper insulation and draft control are key to protecting your hose bib from winter cold. Ensure that nothing is attached to the end of the hose bib so that the water can drain out completely. If water remains inside the hose bib, it can freeze and cause damage.
Is there a particular brand that you recommend and if so, why?
There are many quality brands available, especially those from reputable plumbing suppliers. Currently, we recommend the Prier brand for its reliability and durability.
For any of your residential plumbing needs, including the installation and maintenance of hose bibs, trust Putman & Sons Plumbing. We are dedicated to providing top-notch service and ensuring your home’s plumbing system is in excellent condition.
