Why Do You Need Water Softener Repair?
Water softeners help reduce the mineral content in household water. Hard water is not harmful to your health, but it can cause plumbing problems, leave spots on dishes and laundry, and dry out skin and hair. The most common softeners are salt-based and use a process called ion exchange. Other types of water softeners use chemicals, temporary filters, or magnetic fields to reduce minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron in the water supply.
Softening the water isn’t just about keeping pipes from rusting or showerheads from clogging; it also helps with fuel efficiency in cars (by reducing metal wear) and reduces wear on clothing by removing minerals that can cause stains.
Ion exchange uses electrically charged resin beads to pull out excess ions like calcium carbonate from hard tap water, so it becomes clear again – this process is called “softening.” Water softener companies typically sell kits with an ion exchange cartridge that fits inside the unit along with some salt packets for regeneration—this means that you have to periodically add more salt when needed, so your unit continues functioning properly. It’s important that you check your manual before doing this; many manufacturers recommend only adding enough salt, so there’s about one pound per gallon of capacity left over after regenerating each week (otherwise known as flushing).
How to Tell If You Need Water Softener Repair
If you notice that your water softener is not working properly, there are some signs that may indicate what repairs are needed. The most obvious signs that you need repairs on your water softener include hard water, spots on your dishes, and dry skin when showering or washing your hands. More serious signs include leaks coming from the softener unit or pipes leading to or from the unit. You might also hear noises coming from the pipes, such as banging or rattling.

We will send a highly trained professional to assess your situation and provide you with an upfront price before any work begins, so there are no surprises.

Benefits of Water Softener Installation
Are you looking to improve the quality of your water? If so, you should look into installing a new water softening system. Your local water softener experts at Canal Winchester Plumbing & Drain can help.
Removes Any Unwanted Tastes from Your Drinking Water
A water softener will help remove stuff from your water supply that you’d rather not have to drink or shower in. With a water softener, you can turn on your tap and can drink fresh filtered water any time.
Soft Water Is Easier on Your Pipes and Appliances
Soft water is better for your pipes and home appliances. It prevents scale buildup on your plumbing equipment, as well as damage to dishwashers, clothing washers and hot water heaters. Soft water also helps avoid scale-related plumbing problems in the future.
Softer Water Will Save You Money
The scale buildup that hard water creates also forms inside your hot water tank. The more buildup present, the harder your tank will work, causing it to use more energy. In short, that calcium buildup creates a barrier that prevents the tank from heating up

What is a water softener?
A Water Softener is a filtration system that works to remove high concentrations of calcium and magnesium that cause hard water. When water flows through a water softener, the system filters out these hard water minerals, and the softened water then leaves the water softening system to flow through plumbing.
What is hard water?
When water is referred to as ‘hard’ this means that it contains more minerals than plain water. These are especially the minerals calcium and magnesium. The degree of hardness of the water increases, when more calcium and magnesium dissolve. Magnesium and calcium are positively charged ions. Because of their presence, other positively charged ions will dissolve less easily in hard water than in water that does not contain calcium and magnesium. This is the cause of the fact that soap doesn’t really dissolve in hard water.
How often should one add salt to a softener?
Salt is usually added to the reservoir during the regeneration of the softener. The more often a softener is regenerated, the more often salt needs to be added. Usually, water softeners are checked once a month. To guarantee a satisfactory production of soft water, the salt level should be kept at least half-full at all times.
