GOOD TO KNOW

When Does a Water Softener Need a Replacement?

Your water softener plays a real role in your home’s comfort and function, and once it stops performing well, your whole household starts feeling the effects of hard water. Here’s when a replacement may be worth considering:

Dramatic Fluctuations in Water Pressure

Any dramatic fluctuations in water pressure you may be experiencing in your home can be the result of a major issue with your water softener. This can indicate a sediment buildup that sometimes makes it easier to just replace your water softener rather than repair it.

Frequent Repairs Required

Regardless of the feature in your home, whether it’s your HVAC system, your washing machine, or even your water softener, we know that it is not a good sign when frequent repairs are needed. In fact, this often signals that a replacement unit may be a more cost effective solution.

Itchy Clothes

Have you found that your clothes are itchy after you run them through the washing machine? This could be due to the amount of hard water flowing through your home’s plumbing system, which is an indicator you may need to replace your water softener because it is not doing its job.

Odd Tasting Water

An odd taste in your Kansas City, KS home’s water can signal an issue with a water softener. This could be a sign that your water softener isn’t working properly and you have minerals in the water throughout your system, causing your water to taste oddly. This can often only be completely rectified by replacing your home’s water softener.

Red or Yellow Stains

Red or yellow stains left behind around your drains, faucets, or in your toilet are usually left by hard water. If you notice these stains throughout your home, hard water has infiltrated your plumbing system, which means your water softener may need to be replaced.
