A water softener is a whole-house water treatment system that removes calcium and magnesium minerals from water to treat hard water. Hard water can damage plumbing and appliances, and can cause issues like limescale buildup, decreased soap lather, and spotty dishes.
Maintenance:
You should have a professional service your water softener at least once a year, or if you notice a change in water quality. You also need to add salt regularly and remove salt bridges (build up). Professional service could significantly increase the lifespan. Check out our maintenance programs to see how we keep your water softener running efficiently.
