Scale on faucets, spotty dishes, stiff laundry and short-lived water heaters are all signs of hard water. A properly sized softener fixes it at the source.
A water softener removes calcium and magnesium, the minerals that make water “hard,” using a process called ion exchange. The resin inside captures the minerals and periodically rinses itself clean with salt water (regeneration).
The result is less scale in your pipes, water heater and appliances, easier cleaning, and better lather from soap and shampoo. Softeners are one of the most common upgrades we install in St. Johns County.
Scale builds up on shower heads, faucets and glass doors.
Cloudy glasses and spots even after the dishwasher.
Rumbling or popping from sediment and scale in the tank.
Hard water makes soap harder to rinse off.
An undersized softener regenerates too often and wastes salt. An oversized one wastes money. We also maintain filters and resin beds so your system keeps performing.
Regenerates based on actual water use, so it saves salt and water.
Softens and removes chlorine taste and odor in one setup.

A quality softener typically lasts 10–15 years. The resin may need replacing sooner with chlorinated city water.
Not noticeably for most people. The amount of sodium added is small. For drinking water, many customers add a reverse osmosis system.
Usually every few weeks, depending on your water hardness and household size. A metered softener uses less.
Yes, but wells often need iron or sulfur treatment first. See well water treatment.
