Signs You Should Replace Your Water Softener
Do you want to know when your water softener is ready to go? These are some definite signs you need a new water softener:
Age
If you're moving into a home with a water softener, ask how old it is. If it's 20 years old or older, it needs to be replaced. Aging water softeners are unable to properly fight against hard water. Even one that's 10 years old can have trouble keeping up.
Stains Returning
Once again, you've got soap scum stains on your sink and calcium stains on your dishes. If your water softener isn't working as it should, hard water and minerals are going to wreak havoc once again. Call 1-800-Plumber +Air of New Braunfels, and ask about our water softener installation options.
Household Changes
Let's say you installed your water softener 10 years ago, and you had two children in the home. Now, they've moved out, and you don't have nearly as much water being used as before. Don't keep using an unnecessarily large water softener. Instead, opt for one better suited for your home.
Regeneration Issues
Pay attention to your water softener's regeneration process. If it's been taking longer than normal, This process involves the resin beads, which have accumulated calcium and mineral in the ion exchange, being rinsed with salty brine, ready to go back through the process. If you've noticed other signs of water softener trouble, take a look at the regeneration as well. It might not be regenerating at all or too frequently.
Do You Need to Flush Your Water Heater with a Water Softener?
You might know about flushing a water heater to get rid of excess minerals inside it. But do you need to do that if you have a water softener? It's up to you, but we'd recommend it. Mineral deposits can exist even in soft water, and an annual flushing can keep your water heater operating more smoothly.
