Sizing the system

We size from your supplier's hardness figure and your household's water use.

Bigger households need more capacity between regenerations.

Setup

The softener goes on the main line after the regulator, with a bypass for outdoor water.

Service

We clear salt bridges, clean injectors and reset control valves on units that stopped softening.

Living with a softener

Check the salt level monthly and break up any crust that forms across the top of the brine tank. Keep the bypass handle in service position except during repairs.

Quick answers

How do I find my water hardness?

Your supplier's annual water quality report lists it.

Will a softener remove old scale?

It slows new scale; old buildup still needs cleaning.
