“Hard water” is just water that contains many dissolved minerals (particularly calcium and magnesium). While hard water is not a health hazard, it can clog pipes, reduce water heater efficiency, and shorten the life of appliances. It can also cost you more on energy bills and cleaning products over time.
Water softener services from Arnold & Sons Plumbing will help you eliminate these issues. Installing and maintaining a water softener will allow you to enjoy smoother, cleaner water from every tap in your home.
We understand your home is your most valuable investment. That’s why our licensed professionals bring over 35 years of experience to every water softener service call. We offer clear, upfront pricing with no surprise fees and reliable solutions tailored to your home’s water conditions. Our water softener services include installations, replacements, maintenance, and repairs.
Water Softener Installation
A professionally installed water softener is a long-term solution to the problems caused by hard water. When you call Arnold & Sons for water softener installation, our team begins by evaluating your home’s water quality and usage needs. We test your water hardness, assess your plumbing system, and determine the right size and type of softener for your household.
We install several types of high-efficiency water softeners, including:
- Ion-Exchange (Salt-Based): The most common system. Uses a resin bed to replace calcium and magnesium with sodium ions. These units require periodic regeneration with salt.
- Salt-Free Softeners: These systems condition the water using a crystallization process to prevent scale buildup. They are ideal for those with sodium sensitivities.
- Dual-Tank Softeners: Perfect for larger homes or high water usage, these systems regenerate alternately to provide continuous soft water.
From permitting to final testing, we will complete the entire water softener installation process with precision and care.
Water Softener Replacement
If your current water softener produces inconsistent results, requires frequent repairs, or is over a decade old, it might be time for an upgrade. Signs like salty water, decreased water pressure, or brine tank issues often indicate deeper system wear that isn’t worth repairing.
If you decide to replace your water softener, we’ll remove your outdated softener, dispose of it properly, and install a new one. Every replacement includes a performance check, homeowner walk-through, and tips on maximizing your new system’s lifespan.
Water Softener Maintenance
Regular maintenance keeps your water softener operating smoothly and efficiently. Without proper care, buildup inside the tank or faulty regeneration cycles can compromise water quality and increase utility costs.
Our maintenance visits include salt level checks, resin bed inspections, valve cleaning, and regeneration cycle optimization.
For systems that use replaceable cartridges, we offer professional cartridge replacement to ensure continued performance and clean water flow. This is especially important in salt-free or hybrid softener models that rely on additional filters.
We’ll also inspect for signs of mineral scaling or brine tank issues. With consistent maintenance from Arnold & Sons, your system will perform at its best and won’t break down.
Water Softener Repair
When your water softener isn’t working as expected, don’t wait for small issues to turn into expensive repairs. Whether your system is leaking or no longer softening effectively, we can help.
We diagnose and fix common issues like motor malfunctions, control head failures, salt bridging, and resin bead degradation. Our team services all major makes and models, and will help you determine whether repair or replacement is the most cost-effective path forward.
