Water Softener Installation

Why Install a Water Softener?

There are numerous benefits that you will begin experiencing as soon as you install you new water heater, including: 

• Plumbing fixtures, pipes, and appliances (like your water heater) will experience less limescale buildup and last longer. 
• Laundry and glassware will appear cleaner and brighter. 
• Soap scum and hard water stains will cease appearing. 
• Soap will later easier, and bathing with softened water will make your skin feel and look better. 

If these benefits are appealing to you, schedule your installation today. Convenient financing options make water softeners accessible to everyone. 

Water Softener Repair

Even the most reliable water softeners can run into mechanical issues over time. If your system stops working, hard water minerals will immediately begin flowing back into your pipes, water heater, and appliances.

It is time to call for a professional water softener repair if you notice:

The Return of Hard Water: 

Sudden chalky spots on your glassware or dry, itchy skin after a shower.

Salt Not Being Used: 

If the salt level in your brine tank never seems to drop, you likely have a “salt bridge” blocking the system from regenerating.

Constant Running: 

If you hear the system’s motor running endlessly, a valve or timer may be stuck in the regeneration cycle.

Changes in Water Pressure: 

A drop in water pressure throughout the house can indicate a clogged resin bed or a failing bypass valve.

Our experienced plumbers quickly diagnose these common issues and carry the necessary replacement parts to restore your home’s soft water without delay.

Water Softener Maintenance

While water softeners are highly efficient, they are not entirely “set it and forget it” appliances. Routine maintenance is essential to keep the resin beads clean and the mechanical valves functioning properly.

To get the most life out of your system, it requires a few key maintenance steps:

Checking and Refilling Salt: 

The brine tank needs a consistent supply of high-quality salt pellets to continually clean the resin beads.

Breaking Up Salt Bridges: 

Occasionally, humidity can cause the salt to form a hard crust, preventing it from dropping into the water below.

Cleaning the Brine Tank: 

Over time, dirt and sediment from the salt can build up at the bottom of the tank, which requires an annual flush and cleaning.

If you prefer a hands-off approach to your home’s plumbing, the team at Siemer can handle this routine upkeep for you, ensuring you enjoy the benefits of soft water without the hassle of heavy maintenance.
