Maintenance
Maintaining your water softener annually is essential to keep it operating efficiently. Over time, clocks, valves, and actuators can develop sediment buildup, which can affect performance and lead to mechanical issues. Regular servicing helps prevent these problems by descaling and lubricating key components, ensuring smooth operation.
As your softener ages, it gradually loses efficiency, making routine cleaning and maintenance even more important. A proper service includes treating the brine tank, flushing the media, and ensuring all internal parts are functioning correctly. This not only extends the lifespan of your system but also ensures that your home continues to receive high-quality softened water without interruption.

Common Water Softener Problems We Fix
1. Hard Water Despite a Functioning System

3. Water Softener Not Regenerating Properly
Improper regeneration can lead to mineral buildup. We inspect and fix valve settings, timers, and brine tanks for optimal function.
