Why Do I Need A Water Softener?

Water hardness is measured by GPG, grains per gallon. Sparing you a full chemistry lesson, this refers to the amount of mineral content in your water. Anything over 1 grain per gallon is considered to be hard water.

Does Arizona have Hard Water?

Our water in Glendale, AZ typically ranges from 15 to 25 GPG. This means that a water softener is not only recommended, it’s necessary to ensure a properly maintained water system in your home, not to mention the health benefits for your hair and skin.

Benefits Of Water Softeners

Easier To Clean – If you’re tired of scrubbing caked-on soapscum and residue, a water softener is a great solution. Hard water makes cleaning take longer than it should, whereas water softeners not only save you time when cleaning but also save money on cleaning supplies. Plus, no need for those harsh chemicals that you need to cut through the gunk.

Healthier Skin & Hair – No matter how much lotion or conditioner we use on our skin and hair if you’re showering and cleaning with hard water, you’ll still notice irritation. After just a few uses with a water softener, you’ll notice softer skin and smoother hair. You don’t have to look far to find a dermatologist or hair care expert who will recommend a water softener for healthier skin and hair.

No More Water Filter Replacements – Water softeners eliminate the need for in-home water filters. Your water hardness will be reduced to zero, so no need to worry about replacing those filters every few months!

Save Money with a Water Softener

Save Money On Plumbing Fixtures – Water softeners make up for their overall costs over their lifetime and again. Without a softener, most fixtures, pipes, faucets, shower heads, etc… can become damaged and corroded by the hard water in Glendale and need to be replaced within five years.

Save Money On Bottled Water – If you’re tired of refilling and cleaning your water filter pitcher or buying cases of bottled water, installing a reverse osmosis system could be the solution to your problem. Adding a water filtration system to your home helps to keep your home free of pesticides and contaminants.

Water Softener FAQs

Every house is different, but on average the system and installation by a skilled plumber start around $1,800.00.

The only downside that we’ve found is that you have to buy salt to refill your water softener tank. You can buy salt in bags at most grocery stores or home improvement stores around Glendale and surrounding areas, as well as order on Amazon for around $15-$20. These bags of salt can be cumbersome for some homeowners. The good news is, they can be delivered to your home. However, weighing in at between 25lbs – and 50lbs, some homeowners may need help refilling their water softener tanks.

The lifespan of a water softener depends on factors like water quality, usage, and maintenance, but generally, they can last 10-15 years with proper care.

Yes, but they aren’t as effective as salt. The alternatives are water conditioners. These are additives, meaning that instead of removing mineral content from your water, you’re coating your water with an extra molecule, not removing the calcium.

Nothing. A water softener is a water treatment.

A water softener regenerates every 1,500 gallons used. Each regeneration uses 7 lbs of salt. So, this depends on each family’s water usage. For a family of 4, this is about every 30 days.

Yes. An excessive amount of salt can produce a “salt bridge” in the brine tank (the tank where you pour the salt). This “salt bridge” can essentially create a blockage, eliminating the draw of salt during regeneration on your softener.

If you stop putting salt in your water softener, it will no longer be able to soften the water, leading to a buildup of minerals in your water system.

Salt pellets and salt crystals both work well as water softeners.

If you hear a loud noise that sounds like water rushing through your water softener, this is normal. This is the sound of your water softener regenerating. Regeneration is quite loud and can be alarming if you’ve never heard it before. This is why when we install your system, we set it to regenerate in the middle of the night when typically there is no water being used.
