How Does Water Type (Hard vs. Soft) Affect the Maintenance Needs of a Bathtub Faucet?

Read More

Hard and Soft Water Explained

Hard Water:

Definition: Hard water contains high concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions. By USGS, the hardness of water—defined as the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions—is usually expressed in grains per gallon (gpg) or milligrams per liter (mg/L) of calcium carbonate. Water that contains over 120 mg/L of calcium carbonate is classified as hard.

Indicators: Hard water may allow the buildup of limescale, formation of soap scum, and restricted water flow. This might then be recognized visually with white flecks or a cloudy look on your faucet, and you might feel reduced pressure over time .

Scientific Background:

Scaling Mechanism: As hard water evaporates, it leaves behind the calcium and magnesium ions, which constitute scale. This scale settles on the surfaces and internal parts of faucets, leading to performance and appearance problems .

Research Findings: A study published in the Journal of Water and Health proved that hard water greatly contributed to scale buildup in appliances, including faucet fittings, which can only be managed by frequent cleaning and maintenance.

Soft Water:

Definition: Soft water does contain few dissolved minerals; mostly, this is due to the fact that the calcium and magnesium ions have been removed through a water softening process. In general, soft water would contain less than 60 mg/L of calcium carbonate.

Indicators: Soft water is less prone to mineral deposits or soap scum. The soft water leaves relatively few residues and is less frequent when it comes to cleaning compared to hard water.


Scientific Background:

Effects of Soft Water: Since soft water contains fewer minerals, there will be less scaling and soap scum. Soft water is usually generated from ion exchange processes where calcium and magnesium are replaced by sodium or potassium ions .

Research Results: According to the Water Quality Association, under soft water conditions, scaling in a plumbing system can be reduced and the life of household appliances increased compared to hard water conditions.

Impact of Hard Water on Bathtub Faucet Maintenance

Mineral build-up and Scaling

Problem: The hard water remains recurrently exposed to the faucet that results in limescale deposits; this can have an impact on the appearance and performance of the faucet.


Data and Research:

Research information: According to a study by the Water Quality Association, scale deposits may lower the efficiency of faucets and plumbing fixtures. In this relation, calcium carbonate scale can form on the surface area of faucets and inside plumbing components.

Prevention: Do it regularly. Research says that a solution of vinegar—white vinegar and water in equal amounts—can dissolve mineral deposits. How it works is that the acetic acid in vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate to dissolve scale .

Soap Scum Build-Up

Problem: Hard water reacts with soap and forms a scum that may then deposit around the faucet.


Data and Research:

According to the American Chemical Society, their journal says that this result of the formation of the soap scum is from the soap reacting with calcium and magnesium ions in hard water.

Prevention: Regular cleaning with soap and water helps preserve it from soap scum. The recommended sponge or cloth is non-abrasive to avoid scratching the finish of the faucet.

Daily cleaning: The faucet can be cleaned daily with mild detergent and a non-abrasive cloth, habits that only ensure the prevention of soap scum formation.

FontanaShowers Products: FontanaShowers has mild cleansers that create no soap scum while being safe for various faucet finishes .

Lower Water Pressure

Problem: Limescale deposits clog the faucet aerator and reduce the volume of water flow .

Data and Research:

Study: According to one American Water Works Association report, mineral deposits can hugely cut down water flow in plumbing fixtures.

Solution: Clean the aerator regularly to ensure that water comes out in an appropriate flow. Soaking in vinegar and cleaning with a stiff brush is one of the best ways of maintaining aerators .

Read More

Higher Maintenance Frequency

Problem: Hard water raises the frequency of various maintenance as scaling and soap scum happen frequently.

Data and Research:

Research: It is estimated that hard water increases maintenance practices on household appliances and plumbing fixtures, reported by the Water Quality Association.

Solution: Through the installation of a water softener system, the issue of water hardness is addressed through a reduction in water hardness; hence streaming current maintenance needs.

organization

Water Softener System: Acquire the water softener system to better address hard water challenges.

Soft Water: Reduces Maintenance Practices

Low mineral deposits

Problem: Since soft water does not create extensive mineral deposits, cleaning the faucet is much easier.

Information and Research:

Study: USGS found that soft water does not contribute to building up minerals in plumbing and appliances .

Less Soap Scum

Issue: Soft water has less reaction with soap; thus, soap scum build-up is low .

Data and Research:

Study: According to the Journal of Applied Chemistry, soft water forms fewer amounts of soap scum compared to hard water .

BATHTUB FAUCET


As filling a bathtub is a special task, they differ from other faucets used in a bathroom, such as sink or shower faucets, in some technical aspects. While the flow rate of these faucets is typically between 7 to 10 gallons per minute, in sink faucets it usually does not go above 1.5 to 2.2 GPM. This flow rate is higher to ensure filling bathtubs effectively without too much of a wait. The spout of this type of faucet tends to be larger and can handle more volume of water; diverter valves could also be installed, which direct the water to a handheld shower or to a separate spout. The installation also varies because bathtub faucets have more complex plumbing compared to the sink faucets, especially for wall-mount and freestanding types, due to the volume of water discharged and the pressure exerted. These faucets can be controlled by a single lever or more controls that balance the water temperature and the flow; whereas most sink faucets come fitted with two handles that control the hot and cold water supplies, they are often equipped with anti-scald technology that prevents abrupt changes in temperature. Those very technical differences make such type faucets quite a specialized component, designed to meet specific demands for filling a bathtub quickly and safely.

Bathtub Faucet Finishes

Choosing a bathtub faucet by finish greatly impacts the look and feel of your bathroom. From sleek chrome to elegant brushed nickel, every finish offers the infusion of a particular style with durability to be a part of the aesthetic and functional values in your space.

Read More

Chrome Finish

Chrome is a very popular finish used on these faucets, including a shiny reflective surface that gives a sleek, modern look to any bathroom. This finish is very hard and resistant to corrosion; thus, it is the best choice for very frequent facilities. They are easy to clean, since their smooth surface does not allow for water spots and fingerprints, and remain shiny with only a minimum effort in cleaning. There is no style that chrome cannot suit, thus very versatile in any kind of key differentness, may it be minimalist or modern. The fact that it's relatively inexpensive and comes in a variety of different designs has made it extremely popular for homeowners looking to create a chic, professional appearance.






Brushed Nickel Finish

This is a much more subtle finish than chrome, brushed nickel provides an appearance preferred by those who want something a little softer than the shiny chrome. This finish also has a slight texture to it, which makes for good light diffusion and an overall warm, subtle look. It fits very well in transitional designs and traditional bathrooms. One of the key benefits of brushed nickel is that, due to additional texture with tiny lines, it tends to hide fingerprints and water spots, maintaining a clean appearance. This finish looks good with most materials, from marble to wood, so it would work well in creating a bathroom design that's uniform and classy.






Oil-Rubbed Bronze Finish

Oil-rubbed bronze is a finish that spells warmth and character; it finds a place in traditional, rustic, and vintage designs for bathrooms. It has a deep rich coloring, from dark brown to an almost black, with very subtle copper undertones that barely peek through it to add depth and interest. The oil-rubbed bronze works particularly well in spaces where a more antique or historic appearance is called for since it emulates the aged character of metals worn by time. An added patina may develop through the years independently to bolster the vintage look of this finish. Moreover, it is hard-wearing, resistant to discoloration, and consequently creates both a practical and decorative finish for bathrooms.






Polished Nickel Finish

Polished nickel offers a glamourous substitute to chrome, having almost the same brilliant shine but in a warmer, more inviting hue. This finish is so reflective that it brings elegance and sophistication into every bathroom. This is what gives polished nickel the potential to combine the best of modern and vintage designs, thus providing an immense deal of flexibility for people interested in creating a timeless look in their bathroom. The finish is strong, easy to service, and tarnish resistant; however, it may require frequent cleaning to maintain its shine. Polished nickel is a colorful finish that complements most materials and colors, sending out a message of refinement and class.






Matte Black Finish

A matte black finish is bold and contemporary; it has become very popular in the bathroom designs in recent times. It creates a contrast with light materials through its flat surface, non-reflective design, and adds drama and sophistication to space. Matte black faucets can be used in minimalist or industrial-style bathrooms in which their clean lines and subtle elegance provide an element of attraction. This finish also allows for great versatility with a variety of colors and textures, including natural stone and wood. Matte black is handsome and functional, resistant to fingerprints and water spots for easy cleaning.






Antique Brass Finish

The antique brass type of finish provides a display of comfort, antique feel, and nostalgia to the bathroom, where elegance of ages past creeps in. This rich, golden-colored finish is slightly tarnished, adding depth and character that is desirable in traditional or eclectic designs. Antique brass is often specified for use in spaces where a touch of history or a more rustic feel is desired and pairs beautifully with natural materials like wood and stone. This finish is very decorative but is at the very same time durable: a protective coating resists rust and abrasion very well, making it beautiful for a long time.






Satin Brass Finish

Just like gold, the satin brass finish offers warmth but in an understated way, giving a relaxed, matte look that assures sophistication to whoever wishes to install the set in their bathroom. Satin brass does not shine like polished brass. It is finished with a soft, brushed finish, giving it low glare and a sophisticated classy look. This will also look great in both contemporary and traditional environments. Satin brass is hardy, low maintenance, and resistant to tarnishing. This makes it highly practical for those that would like to have a long-lasting beautiful finish with very little maintenance.






Gold Finish

Gold-finish faucets scream luxury, pure indulgence, and a gloss finish that gives any bathroom a splash of glamor. This bright, shiny finish reflects light, helping to create a statement to go after. Golden faucets of this nature are applied in high-end bathroom design where luxurious materials such as marble and crystal are used. These finishes come in both polished gold and more subtle, brushed gold versions for flexibility based on the feel desired. Not only is there an effect with gold finishes, but they are resilient too, having protective coatings that make them shine and not tarnish easily over time.






Finishing Copper

Copper finish faucets provide a great way to infuse warmth and rustic attraction into the bath; they are attractive, interesting, and not another chrome or nickel. The reddish-brown hue gives depth with character and is a perfect fit for farmhouse, industrial, or eclectic designs. Over time, copper develops a patina, adding to its aged, antique appeal. This living finish makes each copper faucet unique, developing in appearance as it is used and interacts with the environment. Besides, copper is itself antibacterial; this is an added practical value to the aesthetic characteristics of copper as a material: beautiful and functional.

5 of 5 Great Quality and Design August 14, 2024
Reviewer: Ross T. Barnes from Thousand Oaks  
The brushed nickel finish gives the faucet a modern look that fits well with various bathroom styles. It’s understated and doesn’t overpower the space. However, while the finish resists fingerprints and water spots to some extent, it still requires regular cleaning to maintain its appearance, especially in high-humidity environments.
