“I had a Tahoe water softener installed 6 months ago, and it’s been working very well - we are amazed at how soft the local water can get, with a good softener. Our salt usage is way down from our old unit, as well. Service and communication were prompt and professional. I emailed with a follow-up question and that was dealt with quickly as well. Definitely recommend.”

Does Your Water Softener Need to be Repaired?

We always try to fix water softeners over replacing them as we can often do repairs very quickly and inexpensively.

If you do determine that your water softener can not be fixed, or is not worth being fixed, we can provide and install a replacement unit.  

We’ve seen just about everything when it comes to water softener repairs. If you have a problem, we can fix it, whether it be a motor issue, salt bridge, resin issues, blockages, leaks or some other less common problem. 

 

Common Water Softener issues

Water softeners remove minerals like calcium and magnesium from hard water, which can cause problems such as scale buildup in pipes and appliances.

While water softeners are generally reliable, they can sometimes experience issues. Here are some common water softener problems:

  • Salt Bridges: A salt bridge forms when a hard crust of salt builds up at the top of the brine tank, preventing the salt from mixing with water properly. This can lead to reduced softening capacity.

  • Salt Mushing: Similar to salt bridges, salt mushing occurs when the salt at the bottom of the brine tank forms a sludgy mass, inhibiting the regeneration process.

  • Resin Bead Fouling: Over time, the resin beads inside the softener tank can become fouled with contaminants, reducing their effectiveness in removing minerals from water.

  • Low Salt Level: If there is insufficient salt in the brine tank, the water softener may not regenerate correctly, leading to hard water.

  • Valve Issues: Problems with the control valve, such as leaks, blockages, or malfunctions, can disrupt the regeneration cycle or water flow.

  • Hard Water Bypass: Sometimes, water softeners can malfunction, allowing hard water to bypass the resin tank and enter the plumbing system.

  • Noisy Operation: Unusual noises like grinding, clicking, or banging can indicate mechanical problems or issues with the motor.

  • Loss of Pressure: Reduced water pressure throughout the house can be a sign of a water softener problem, often caused by a clogged resin bed or valve issues.

  • Excessive Water Use: If the water softener regenerates more frequently than usual or uses a lot of water during regeneration, it may indicate a problem with the programming or settings.

  • Electrical Problems: Water softeners with electronic components can experience issues with power supply or control boards, leading to operational problems.

To address these issues, it's essential to regularly maintain and service your water softener. Many problems can be prevented by following the manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning, adding salt, and performing routine checks.

 

If you're not comfortable troubleshooting or repairing the softener yourself, contact a professional plumber.

“Visited the show room and was well educated on water softeners and how they work. The price for the unit chosen plus installation was more then fair compared to other providers and quotes. Installation occurred within 3 days, and was professionally done. I will recommend Water Smart to any one looking for a new water softener system.”
