Water Softener Repair Kitchener Waterloo: Our Services
Seal Kit Replacements
If your water softener has a rubber o-ring, then you may find that the chlorine, which is added to the water in the Kitchener Waterloo area, will break it down over time. When this happens, your o-ring will need to be replaced. WaterSmart can replace your seal kit for you even if you didn’t purchase your water softener from us.
Seal kit replacement is not, however, a frequent problem with the water softeners sold by WaterSmart. Unlike other water softeners, our softeners have Teflon composite o-rings, which stand up better to the chlorine than the rubber o-rings used in other water softeners.
WaterSmart can repair almost any make or model of water softener
Power Supply Repairs
If your water softener doesn’t seem to have any power, check to make sure that it is properly connected to a working power source.
If it seems to be plugged in properly, check the breaker to make sure that it hasn’t flipped and then try plugging it into another source that you know is working. If your softener still won’t come on, then contact the professionals at WaterSmart. We can check, repair, or replace faulty power supplies for you.
Motor Problems
If your motor is not working, check to see if it is properly plugged in to a working electrical outlet and that the power cable is connected correctly.
If your motor still won’t start, then it may need to be repaired or replaced. The highly trained professionals at WaterSmart can quickly diagnose and repair or replace any make of water softener motor, even if you didn’t purchase your softener from us.
Blockages
Different types of blockages can stop the water from flowing through your water softener - and stop it from working properly. You can get blockages at the filter screen or at the brine line.
You can first try checking your owner’s manual for tips on how to fix these types of blockages. Since each make of water softener is different, it may require different procedures to remove blockages and often may require specialized repairs.
If you are not sure how to safely clear a blockage or are concerned that the problem is beyond a simple home repair, contact us at WaterSmart and we will be happy to help you.
Water Softener Replacements
If your water softener cannot be fixed, or is not worth being fixed, we can provide and install a replacement water softener for you. To learn more about our water softeners, which are both custom designed and custom built for the hard water we have in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, click here.

Preventative Maintenance Services
Water softeners, for the most part, are very reliable and require minimal to no maintenance to keep them running.
If you request, however, we can check for salt bridging, inspect water flow, adjust regeneration frequencies, conduct water testing, sanitize the tank, or any other request you may have.
If you would like us to perform an inspection or preventative maintenance check, give us a call and we would be happy to discuss further.
In addition to water softener repairs, WaterSmart can also provide you with preventative maintenance services at affordable rates including:
Water Softener Diagnostic Check (Valve, Seals, Updating, Settings, Wireless Remote Sync, Test)
Water Softener Clean Out (Clean Venturi, Clean Salt Tank, Salt Bridge Removal, Sanitize)
Ultra Violet Light Replacement
Big Blue Filter Replacement
Resin Bed Clean-Out (Clean Resin Bed of Built Up Contaminants And Iron / Magnesium). Regular Tune – Ups and Replacement of Parts: Resin does not normally get cleaned out. Resin will usually be changed for new resin).
We offer preventative maintenance for your water softeners too!
Common Water Softener Problems
Salt Bridges
The salt used in a water softener can form a crusty layer at the top of the tank, leaving a hollow space beneath. This is called a salt bridge. If you have a salt bridge, your softener will look like it is full of salt when actually it is empty.
If you have a salt bridge, gently tap the outside of the water softener casing with a rubber mallet, beginning at the bottom of the tank and working your way up. If you hear a hollow sound then you probably have a salt bridge. Try tapping the tank again with a bit more force. This should cause the salt bridge to collapse, allowing you to add more salt.
If tapping doesn’t work, you can use a long object, such as a broom handle to poke down through the bridge inside your softener to break it up.
Trouble with salt bridges? WaterSmart can help
Problems With Timers
One of the most common water softener problems is the timer being set incorrectly. It is important to make sure that you set your water softener timer correctly. An incorrect timer will give you hard water, making you believe that your softener isn't working correctly.
Make sure you check your softener's timer and reset it to the correct time after any power outage. After any outage, your softener and your other electrical appliances will have the wrong time.
Leaks
Any appliance that is connected to a water source can develop leaks over time. If you notice a leak in your water softener, contact us at WaterSmart. Our fully insured, licensed plumbers can quickly find the source of the leak and will be able to quickly and inexpensively repair it for you.
