Every now and then, all water softening systems experience performance troubles. Some require professional attention to correct. The problem is, homeowners often fail to spot the signs of water softener trouble, so repairs aren’t made very quickly.

• Sinks and Showers Covered With Water Spots
• Salty Taste to Tap Water
• Stiffness in Clothes After Washing

If you already have a water softener installed, don’t forget to schedule your regular maintenance inspection. A licensed plumber examines key system areas and makes repairs as necessary.

Beyond professional maintenance services, your water softener benefits from additional care by you over the years. Make sure to always follow the water softener suggestions below to preserve system performance.

• Use an iron cleaner in the system each year.
• Don’t overfill the salt bin – it should never be more than two-thirds full.
• Wait for the salt to run out almost completely before you refill the tank.
• Use a pure salt that has an iron remover in your water softener – do not use rock salt.

The Central Indiana area is home to some of the hardest water in the entire country – lucky us. This means our water has higher concentrations of dissolved calcium and magnesium scale buildup. The hardness of our water actually produces effects we can see and feel.

Water marks are left behind on surfaces and soap doesn’t produce as many suds, making it more difficult to clean. Actually, that’s where hard water’s name comes from – people find it difficult to wash in!

• Dishes never look clean and are covered in mineral deposits

• Scale deposits wreak havoc on water heater efficiency and service life

• Plumbing lines collect mineral deposits and are prone to clogs, low flow rate
