Water Softener Systems

Backflow is a reversal of the normal direction of waterflow in a water system. Backflow can contaminate the potable water supply.

Backflow prevention is vital because it safeguards the purity of your tap water, ensuring that the water you expect to be clean remains that way. It serves as a protective barrier against potential contaminants, guaranteeing the safety of your drinking water. Understanding its significance is paramount in maintaining efficient plumbing systems and the continued delivery of safe, clean water for your peace of mind.

Your backflow prevention systems should be tested annually.

Water softeners remove minerals like calcium and magnesium from your water supply through a process called ion exchange. This results in softened water that is easier on your plumbing and appliances.

Signs you might need a water softener include:

• White spots on dishes and glassware.

• Soap that doesn’t lather well.

• Scale buildup on faucets and showerheads.

• Dry or itchy skin after bathing.

While DIY installation is possible, we recommend professional installation to ensure proper setup and optimal performance.

The frequency depends on your water usage and the size of your system. Generally, it’s a good idea to check the salt levels once a month and refill as needed.

Regular maintenance includes:

• Checking salt levels monthly.

• Cleaning the brine tank periodically.

• Scheduling professional servicing annually for optimal performance.

Modern water softeners are designed to minimize water and salt usage, making them more eco-friendly. For even greener options, consider salt-free systems.
