Water Softener Installation and Repair in San Antonio, TX
Far west side water is hard. A softener sized for your household protects your water heater, fixtures and skin, and we install, service and repair them.
Why this happens
Hard water shows itself as white crust on the faucet, film on the shower glass, scale in the water heater and shampoo that will not suds up. Inside a softener, resin beads swap out calcium and magnesium, then rinse clean with salty brine. When a softener stops pulling its weight, the reason is usually one of a handful. It was sized wrong, the control valve failed, the resin is spent, the salt has formed a crust bridge, or the bypass got left open.
