Water Softener Repair

Most water softeners should be inspected and serviced about once a year. Routine maintenance helps keep the system operating efficiently. It can also allow our technicians to identify small issues before they become costly repairs. Contact Kel Tren WaterCare to learn about our available maintenance services.

A well-designed water softener usually lasts 10 to 15 years or more when properly maintained. Routine servicing and prompt repairs can help extend its lifespan.

Yes, but the water being used during regeneration may not be softened. Many modern water softeners regenerate overnight when water use is typically at its lowest.

A water softener loop is a dedicated plumbing connection that makes it easier to install a water softener. It typically includes an incoming water line, an outgoing water line, and a bypass valve where the system will be connected.

Resin is made up of small beads inside a water softener tank. The beads are “charged” with sodium or potassium chloride. As water passes through the tank, the resin captures and removes hard minerals, replacing them with sodium or potassium ions. This results in softened water.

Regeneration is the process that cleans and recharges the resin inside a water softener using a salt solution. Most systems regenerate automatically at night because household water use is usually lower.

Most water softeners allow you to reset the clock using the control panel. If you’re unsure how to adjust the settings, refer to your owner’s manual or contact Kel Tren WaterCare for assistance.
