Water Softener Installations in the Surrounding Beaverton Area

Water softeners systems are designed to remove calcium and magnesium from your water supply. Hard water, containing these minerals, can lead to limescale buildup in pipes, which affects the performance and longevity of appliances. It also makes soap and detergents less effective, impacting your bathing and laundry experience.

We provide a variety of water softening solutions, including:

• Ion Exchange Systems: Traditional systems that replace hard minerals with sodium or potassium.
• Salt-Free Softeners*: Environmentally friendly alternatives that condition water without using salt.
• Dual Tank Systems: Perfect for larger households or commercial needs where a constant supply of soft water is essential.

*This alternative to traditional systems does not remove the hard material but turns them into a crystalline form that prevents them from scaling within your pipes. Since the material is still present, it is not a true water softener but offers similar benefits.

When to Replace Your Water Softener

Water softeners typically operate quietly in the background, so it can be challenging to detect when they start to fail. Signs that you may need to repair or replace your water softener include:

• Laundry that feels stiff or scratchy
• Soap that doesn’t lather effectively
• Crusty deposits on faucets and drains
• Water that tastes salty or unusual
• Persistent spots on dishes and cutlery
• Gradual decrease in water pressure
• Dry hair or itchy scalp post-shower

Routine maintenance is essential for ensuring your water softener operates efficiently and has a longer lifespan. Without proper care, softeners can become clogged and less effective, which may damage your plumbing system.
