Water Softeners

Choose and maintain a water softener

Hard water leaves scale on fixtures, spots on glass and buildup in appliances. These guides explain how ion exchange softeners work, what hardness readings mean and how salt, resin and regeneration settings affect performance. You learn how to size a unit from a water test, check the brine tank, clean a clogged injector and spot a unit that has stopped working. They also cover when a salt-free conditioner may fit your needs and when a plumber should handle the install.
