Do You Need Water Softener Repair? Signs to Look out for
You notice white film or scale on your appliances:
Scale, also known as limescale, is a hard and chalky substance that can build up on your water-using appliances and in your plumbing.
Scale comes from the calcium and magnesium that is found in hard water. If you notice scale and you own a water softener, then it's probably time for a water softener repair.
Your skin and hair feel dry:
If your skin and hair start to feel drier than normal, then you may need your water softener repaired.
The minerals from hard water settle on your skin and hair. Because soap doesn't dissolve well in hard water, it isn't able to rinse these deposits off.
The residue left behind form hard water can irritate your skin, block your pores, and make it feel leathery and dry.
If you need water softener repair, you may notice your skin and hair feeling dry
You notice stains in your sinks and tubs:
As hard water in your sink and tub evaporates, it will leave behind deposits of calcium and magnesium.
These plaster-like deposits will stain and make your sink and tub look dull. If you notice stains, and you have enough salt in your water softener, then you should contact a professional to come and service your unit.
You notice a decrease in your water pressure:
Hard water deposits are especially rough on steel pipes. Limescale from hard water can build up in your pipes causing the water flow to be restricted, thus decreasing your water pressure.
You may have lower water pressure if you need a water softener repair
Common Water Softener Repair Issues
There are a number of problems that can occur with your water softener over time requiring you to get water softener repair. These include:
Faulty Seal Kit: Because of the chlorine added to the water in the Kitchener regions, you may find that your seal kit on your water softener wears out and will need replacing.
If, however, you have purchased your softener from WaterSmart, you probably won't have this problem as our units have o-rings made from Teflon instead of rubber like the o-rings on other water softeners.
Salt Bridges: A salt bridge is a crust layer of salt that forms a bridge at the top of your tank. It may look like your tank is full of salt when it actually isn't.

Leaks: Any appliance that is hooked up to a water source may eventually get a leak. If your water softener is leaking, contact WaterSmart and our fully insured, licensed plumbers will find the source of your leak and will quickly fix it for you.
Blockages: Different kinds of blockages can happen inside your water softener, disrupting the flow of water. Each brand of softener is constructed differently and may experience a blockage in a different way. It's a good idea to contact a repair company that is familiar with all makes of water softeners to fix your blockage.
Motor Issues: If your motor isn't working and it is properly plugged in, then you will need to contact a professional like WaterSmart to repair or replace your broken motor.
You can use less soap and detergents with soft water
Benefits of Softening Water
Save on Detergents and Cleaning Products:
The minerals and metals in hard water can actually counteract with your detergents and cleaning products forcing you to use more of your products. Softer water means that you can get away with using much less detergent and cleaning products.
Cleaner Looking Dishes:
Soft water does a better job at rinsing away soap residue than hard water. Installing a water softener means that you will probably notice cleaner looking dishes.
Brighter Looking Clothing:
The minerals in your hard water can get trapped in the fibres or your clothing leaving it dingy looking and wearing out the fabric quicker.
Soft water doesn't contain these minerals, so your white clothing should stay whiter and your bright clothing should be brighter last longer.
Soft water will make your clothes look brighter
Softer Skin and Hair:
Once you install a water softener, you should start to notice that your skin feels softer and that your hair is smoother. This is because you will no longer have the minerals from hard water left behind on your skin and hair.
Extend the Life of Your Appliances:
Hard water residue can build up over time on your appliances that use water, such as your dishwasher, water heater, kettle, etc.
This hard water build up can eventually damage these appliances and reduce their effectiveness. It can even cause them to breakdown.
Having a water softener installed means that you can increase the lifespan of these water-using appliances and cut down on the high cost of repairs or replacing them early.
Easier on Your Plumbing:
Hard water can build up and leave residue in your plumbing system like your pipes, toilet, sink and tub. Soft water has had most of the minerals removed, so it leaves your plumbing clear of residue and build-up.
