Protecting Your Plumbing

Soft water improves cleaning and protects your plumbing. Maintenance keeps your softener efficient by checking salt levels, cleaning brine tanks and ensuring valves operate properly.

Why Maintain Your Softener?

Salt bridging, clogged resin beds and worn valves reduce efficiency and allow hard water through. Routine service prevents these issues and ensures soft, scale‑free water.

  Excellent experience to install a new Lennox modulating furnace. From the shopping g stage right through to some follow up service calls, they were professional and patient.

  This is not the first time I have called First Call. They replaced my old furnace and checked my existing A/C. This time my old hot water heater needed to be changed. As a much-appreciated perk, the plumber also tested my sump pump and explained how I could do it at no additional charge! The installers arrived on time, used tarps to protect our home, and explained what they had done.

An additional reason I called First Call again, is their active participation in community events. They give back to our community wherever possible. I would not hesitate to call them again.

Water Softener FAQs

How often should a softener be serviced?

Most systems benefit from annual maintenance. Hard‑water areas may require more frequent checks.

Why does my water taste salty?

Excessive salt in the brine tank or a stuck valve can cause salty water. Maintenance will correct the problem.

When should I replace the resin bed?

Resin typically lasts 10–15 years. Reduced softening capacity or high iron levels can shorten this lifespan.

Can I maintain my softener myself?

You can add salt, but professional service ensures valves and timers operate correctly.

Do you offer salt delivery?

Yes. Salt delivery can be added to your maintenance plan.

What’s the benefit of soft water?

Soft water reduces mineral build‑up in pipes and appliances, improves soap lathering and prevents spots on dishes.
