Quality Water Softener Installations
A water softener system for your home is a personal choice. Still, many homeowners view a water filtration system as necessary. A healthy water filtration system softens your home’s hard water, removes calcium and magnesium deposits, and replaces them with sodium ions. But you may not need to know all that. After all, that is what Complete Plumbing and Drain is here for!
Water softener installation can also save you time and money. Now that is good news, right?

Top Benefits of a Water Softener
Before investing in a water softener, I’m sure you’re curious about what benefits you will receive from installing this system in your home.
Here are the top ways water softeners have helped homeowners:
Protect your pipes
A water softener can help protect your pipes from damage or blockage and lessen the number of times you have to call a plumber to unclog pipes in your home.
Safe drinking water
If you didn’t know, soft water is safe to drink. The softener system removes traces of ferrous ions and clears the water. Not to mention, this helpful feature will help your body’s fluid balance.
Soft water saves water
Homes with a water softener use less water.
- When it’s time to shower, spend less time in the bath or shower because soft water lathers up much faster.
- Use less soap when washing the dishes.
- Wash your clothes with less soap and use less water to get the suds out more quickly.
Cleaner dishes
Do you clean your dishes, and they still look dirty from those little water spots? That is in the past when you have a water filtration system installed. Those little dots are from limescale build-up; a softener will clear that up.
Keep your faucets clean
Have you ever noticed the build-up of rust and white color substance under your faucet where the water comes out? That build-up is not appealing to the eye and can even mess up the appliances in your home. A softener will take care of that.

Installing a Water Softener
Installing a water softener is a straightforward process that will significantly improve the quality of your water. The softeners we install are readily available, reliable, and effective.
Here is what you can expect on installation day:
- First, our trained plumbers will locate a suitable spot near your main water supply line where the softener can be installed.
- Then, they will shut off the main water supply to your home and drain any remaining water from your pipes.
- Next, we will connect the softener to your plumbing system, ensuring proper alignment and tight connections.
- Time to install the brine tank nearby and fill it with salt or potassium chloride, depending on your preference and system.
- Finally, we will program the softener according to your water hardness level and restart the supply.
Regular maintenance will help ensure your water softener operates efficiently, providing softer and better-tasting water throughout your house. These tasks include refilling the water softener salt and occasionally cleaning the resin bed.
Water Softener FAQ
Does soft water leave a film on your skin?
There’s no getting around the fact that hard water and soft water will make your skin and hair feel different. Many people get the misconception that soft water makes your skin slimy. It’s just your water softener working and making your hair and skin softer.
Water softeners are a waste of energy, aren’t they?
Water softeners do use additional energy compared to homes with no water softener. Still, installing a water softener allows all your appliances to operate at their full potential. This way, your other machines will have a longer lifespan with reduced scale build-up. That saves you money on appliance repair and replacement while using less water.
Water softeners are too expensive.
Another misunderstanding about water softeners is the system cost. But in reality, operating a water softener costs an average of $10 to $20 a month, including salt refills and yearly maintenance.
However, if the price still feels out of your comfort zone, there are many options our plumbers at Complete Plumbing and Drain can go over with you.
