Water Softeners Repair – Maintenance San Antonio

For homes that suffer from hard water, water softener systems are the ideal solution.

A water softener has many benefits such as reducing limescale, giving you softer skin, allowing soaps to lather, keeping clothes bright and much more. Like any system, there is a chance that something could go wrong with it, and it needs a maintenance check. You should carry out repairs on water softeners as quickly as possible, as once you are used to softened water, the hard water will be a high contrast.

Many homeowners have maintenance checks performed on their water softener every year. If a water softener is cared for properly, it can last you for around ten years, and you will run into very few issues. Water softener units are quite low maintenance for the majority of their life. Although, as they age, small issues can arise. Having your water softener serviced will keep it in the best condition possible and working efficiently so your home can continue to benefit from softened water. So call Just Water Softeners for your water softeners repair – maintenance to be performed.

Signs That Your Water Softener May Need Maintenance

If you are worried that your system may not be working as well as it should be, then look out for the following symptoms to see if you need maintenance or repair work done. It may just need a simple repair, or you may require a new system installed altogether.

• Your soaps are not lathering

If you have noticed that while in the shower, your average amount of shampoo just isn’t enough, you may have a water softener problem. Hard water doesn’t allow soap to lather as well as softened water does due to it having a negative charge, compared to hard water that has a positive charge –  when the two mix, you end up with no charge at all.

• Your dishes are appearing cloudy or dirty

If you are bringing your plates, glassware and silverware out of your dishwasher and they are still looking dirty or have a hazy appearance; there could be a problem with you water softener. Hard water contains many minerals that are usually removed by the water softener system. If these minerals remain, your dishes, glasses, and cutlery can come out with spots or mineral deposits on them.

• Your skin is feeling dry and itchy

When you have softened water in your home, it helps to keep your skin soft and moisturized after taking a shower, a bath or washing your hands. If you’ve recently been getting dry or itchy skin after you have bathed, this is a sign that your water softener has a problem.

• You don’t have to replenish the salt once a month

When you have a salt-based water softener, you will usually have to replace the salt every month – this isn’t something that everyone notices at first, but it gradually becomes more apparent. If you can replenish your salt then go for more than a month before you need to replace it again, there is something wrong with your water softener. It is not using the salt that you have put in correctly so it has most likely malfunctioned and will need a maintenance check to determine what has gone wrong.
