Hard water—water with too many dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium—can cause problems with your laundry, showers, and drinking water. That’s why many people in areas with hard water opt to use a water softener to pull dissolved minerals out of their water supply. Clarks Quality Water repairs and replaces non-functioning water softeners so you can enjoy refreshing water and save your hair, skin, clothes, and appliances from hard water.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a water softener work?

A water softener removes calcium and magnesium from your water by filtering it through a mineral tank of resin beads charged with sodium ions. Ion exchange pulls calcium and magnesium into the resin, and sodium ions enter the water (but not in high enough numbers to make it taste salty). The brine tank of salt recharges the resin beads with more sodium ions.

How long do water softeners last?

Water softeners usually last between 8 - 10 years. However, a quality water softener can last up to 15.
