Benefits of a Water Softener
Soft Water You Will Love
01
Improved Water Quality
A water softener enhances water quality by removing hard minerals like calcium and magnesium, resulting in softer water that is gentler on your skin and hair. It also helps keep clothes and dishes brighter and cleaner.
03
Cost Savings
Using softened water can lead to significant cost savings by improving energy efficiency and reducing the wear and tear on household appliances. Hard water causes scale buildup on heating elements, forcing water heaters to work harder and use more energy, which raises energy costs. With softened water, your heating system runs more efficiently. Additionally, softened water decreases the amount of soap and detergent needed for cleaning and extends the lifespan of appliances like dishwashers and washing machines, helping you avoid expensive repairs or replacements over time.
02
Longer Appliance Lifespan
Softened water can help to extend the lifespan of appliances such as water heaters, washing machines, and dishwashers, by reducing the buildup of hard mineral deposits that can cause damage over time.
04
Reduced Water Spotting
Softened water can dramatically reduce the time and effort spent on cleaning since there’s significantly less mineral buildup on dishes, glassware, and kitchen surfaces. Fewer water spots after washing, allowing your dishes to dry spotless. Using softened water can help you cut down on the amount of cleaning products required for scrubbing and polishing while also protecting surfaces from long-term wear caused by mineral deposits.
What is Hard Water?
Hard water is water that contains high levels of dissolved minerals, particularly calcium and magnesium ions. These minerals are picked up by the water as it passes through rocks and soil, and are not harmful to human health, but they can cause a number of problems for households and businesses.
The degree of hardness in water is measured in grains per gallon (gpg), parts per million (ppm), or milligrams per liter (mg/L) of calcium carbonate equivalents. Water with a hardness level of 1-3.5 gpg is considered "slightly hard," while water with a level of 7-10.5 gpg is considered "hard," and anything above 10.5 gpg is considered "very hard."
Some of the common signs of hard water include:
-
Scale buildup: The minerals in hard water can form a hard, white, crusty buildup on plumbing fixtures, appliances, and other surfaces that come into contact with the water.
-
Soap scum: Hard water can make it difficult to lather soap, and can leave a residue on skin, hair, and clothes.
-
Reduced efficiency of water heaters and appliances: Scale buildup can reduce the efficiency of water heaters and appliances, leading to higher energy bills and shorter lifespans for these devices.
-
Dingy or yellowed laundry: Hard water can make white clothes look dingy or yellowed, and can cause colored clothes to fade more quickly.
-
Dry skin and hair: Hard water can dry out skin and hair, making it feel rough and itchy.
How Does a Water Softener Work?
-
Water softeners work by removing the minerals that cause water hardness, primarily calcium and magnesium ions. The most common type of water softener uses a process called ion exchange to remove these minerals from the water.
-
An ion exchange water softener typically consists of a tank filled with resin beads that are coated with sodium ions. As the hard water passes through the resin bed, the calcium and magnesium ions in the water are attracted to the resin beads and exchange places with the sodium ions, which are released into the water.
-
Over time, the resin beads become saturated with calcium and magnesium ions and are no longer effective at removing these minerals from the water. At this point, the water softener goes through a process called regeneration, which involves flushing the resin bed with a concentrated salt solution, usually sodium chloride. The salt solution replaces the calcium and magnesium ions on the resin beads with sodium ions, restoring the water softening capability of the resin.
-
The regenerated resin is then rinsed with water to remove any excess salt, and the water softener is ready to begin the ion exchange process again.
-
In addition to ion exchange, other types of water softening technologies include reverse osmosis, distillation, and chelation. However, ion exchange remains the most common and effective method for removing calcium and magnesium ions from hard water.
What Maintenance Does a Water Softener Need?
Water softeners require maintenance to ensure that they continue to function properly and provide effective water softening. Here are some common maintenance tasks that are we recommend completing on your water softener.
-
Salt refilling: Most water softeners use salt to regenerate the resin bed, so it is important to check the salt levels regularly and refill the salt as needed. The frequency of salt refilling will depend on the size of the softener, the hardness of the water, and the level of water usage.
-
Resin bed cleaning: Over time, the resin bed can become coated with dirt, minerals, or other debris, which can reduce its effectiveness. Resin cleaning should be done every 12 to 15 months.
-
Regular flushing: It is important to flush the resin bed regularly to prevent the buildup of sediment and other debris. The frequency of flushing will depend on the level of water usage and the hardness of the water.
-
Checking the brine tank: The brine tank should be checked regularly for salt buildup or other debris. If there is a significant buildup of salt or other debris, the tank should be cleaned and the water inside should be replaced.
-
Checking for leaks: Water softeners should be checked regularly for leaks or other signs of damage. If a leak is detected, it should be repaired immediately to prevent further damage.
-
Annual professional maintenance: It is recommended that a professional service technician perform an annual maintenance check on the water softener. This can include cleaning the resin bed, checking the valve settings, and inspecting the unit for any signs of wear or damage.

What Our Clients Say About Their Water Transformation
Installing a Water Softener
Installation
-
Installation Included on Existing Loop 3/4" or 1" (Standard) means at loop location, no drain, plumbing, or electrical extension required
-
Establishing a loop can range from $600.00 to $1,500.00 or more
How do I know if I have a loop?
-
Normally you will see a section of 3/4" - 1" copper plumbing shaped similar to the image above, located in the garage.
How to Size a Water Softener
How to know what system size you need?
Based on a Regeneration cycle of every 7 days for most efficient operating parameters, take the total number of people in home multiplied by an average gallons per day per person of 75 (national avg.) multiplied by water hardness (20 is avg. for Phoenix and surrounding cities) = daily grain requirements, multiplied by days of recommended regeneration (7) equals unit size.
You should also take into consideration the # of bathrooms and if you have multiple body sprayers and frequency of quests. You should always consider rounding up to the next size unit to cover extra factors plus your system will operate more efficiently using less salt and regenerating less. The difference in costs upfront is minimal and will pay for itself many times over.
Another Quick Rule for the most common sized units is as follows:
If you are considering a mixed multi use system than always increase one size.
32K - 32,000 Grain - 1.0 Cu.Ft. - 9 x 48 - 1 to 3 people
48K - 48,000 Grain - 1.5 Cu.Ft. - 10 x 54 - 3 to 5 people
64K - 64,000 Grain - 2.0 Cu.Ft. - 12 x 52 - 5 to 8 people
