Water Softener Repair and Maintenance

While many water softener problems require professional repair, there are some easy steps you can take to maintain your water softener at home.

For example, you should monitor your water softener usage and add rock salt when necessary. Most systems have lights that indicate when your water softener is running low on salt, which you can replace yourself. The system needs the sodium ions in rock salt to flush the resin beads after mineral removal.

We also recommend having your water softening system serviced at least once a year. Our plumbers will take care of preventative maintenance to fix small issues before they can escalate to cause expensive problems or unexpected system failure.

Water conditioners and water softeners are both systems that treat hard water, but their processes are different. Softeners completely eliminate minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and silica via ion exchange.

Conditioners manipulate ions in your water supply rather than removing them. This leaves some mineral content in your water but prevents buildup and damage in your plumbing system. Water conditioners can also treat other contaminants such as algae and bacteria.
