Water Softener Repair and Replacement in Cleveland, OH

The lifespan of a water softener typically ranges from 8 to 12 years, but this can vary depending on factors like the quality of the unit, the amount of water being treated, and how well it's maintained. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can help extend the life of your water softener.

The appropriate size of a water softener depends on several factors, including the hardness of your water (measured in grains per gallon), your average daily water usage, and the number of people in your household. Our experienced plumbers can assess your specific needs and recommend the ideal size to ensure optimal performance and efficiency for your Cleveland home.

Several signs can indicate an issue with your water softener:

• Hard water symptoms returning: You might notice soap scum, dry skin, dull laundry, or mineral buildup on faucets and showerheads.
• Salty-tasting water: This could indicate a problem with the brine tank or the regeneration cycle.
• Unusual noises: Grinding, clicking, or other strange sounds coming from the unit could signal a mechanical issue.
• The system isn't using salt: If the salt level in your brine tank isn't decreasing, the softener may not be regenerating properly.
• The unit is constantly running: This could be a sign of a faulty valve or other internal problem.
• The water softener is over 10 years old: Even without obvious issues, an older unit may be less efficient and more prone to breakdowns.
