Water softener installation is quick and easy. Your plumber can complete the job in just an hour or two. They’ll simply need to connect the water softener system to your home’s incoming water line. Most water softeners utilize salts to attract the minerals present in the water, effectively removing them before the water even enters your home.

For the most part, all you’ll need to do to care for your water softener is replenish the salt in the tank periodically as it runs out. You can find softener salt at any home improvement store and at many big box retailers as well, and it is remarkably affordable.

However, you may occasionally need water softener repair if something goes wrong with your system. If you notice that your water doesn’t taste as good as it once did or that your hair and skin aren’t feeling as healthy, this could indicate the need for water softener repair. Call your plumber right away for a system inspection.
