Woodford Hydrants: Irrigation Solutions in Many Places

It can be easy to overlook the importance and value of a yard hydrant because most of us don’t even notice them until they stop working. Yard hydrants play a vital role in sustaining life by providing water to animals, people, and numerous other environments. The reliability of yard hydrants is crucial, and choosing high-quality equipment is one way to ensure your irrigation needs are not interrupted, and you maintain a continuous supply of fresh water year-round. 

Yard Hydrants and their Applications

Many locations that rely on continuous water supply are remote, oftentimes in areas where the closest supply of fresh water could be many miles away. Utilizing quality products, like the Woodford Y34 IOWA® yard hydrant, will provide continuous delivery of your irrigation needs, even in freezing temperatures.

• Ranches – ranchers rely on yard hydrants to water their livestock and sustain their life.

Keep Your Drain Soap Scum Free

Soap scum seems to come out of nowhere, suddenly appearing on our bathtub faucets and the walls of our shower. If it appears that quickly on surfaces we can see, imagine the soap scum buildup on surfaces we cannot readily see – like the inside of our pipes or drains. The biggest culprit for clogged drains is soap scum. 

What Causes Soap Scum?

Soap scum is also referred to as lime soap and is formed when the fatty acids in soap mix with water, especially hard water that has an excessive mineral content. Homes that have soft water can also experience soap scum buildup, but it is typically to a lesser degree. 

Issues Caused by Soap Scum

Mildew and mold are attracted to soap scum which can clog up your drain over time. Eventually, other contaminants like hair accumulate in your drain, which creates a larger clog. Over time, this will cause your drain to drain slowly because the water does not have enough space to exit your tub.  Soap scum is unhealthy and is a breeding ground for bacteria. 

How to Get Rid of Soap Scum

Installing a mesh grid drain cover in your tub is the simplest and most important action you can take to help keep your tub soap scum free. A drain cover will reduce the amount of hair, debris, and soap scum that enters your drain and clogs your pipes. Doing a drain flush using hot water is another effective way to help keep soap scum from building up in your drain and pipes. 

Consider installing a new, shiny bathtub stopper and drain cover to further prevent soap scum buildup and future clogged drain issues.
