Standard Softening Systems
A resin tank and brine tank sized for typical household water use and hardness levels.
Hard water solutions
Water Softeners
Central Florida water is often hard. A water softener reduces the hardness minerals that cause scale, spotting and buildup throughout your plumbing, fixtures and appliances.
How it works
How a Water Softener Works
Hard water carries dissolved calcium and magnesium. As that water moves through your plumbing and heats up, those minerals can leave scale behind on pipes, fixtures, glassware and inside water-using appliances.
A softener passes your water through a resin tank that exchanges the hardness minerals for sodium or potassium. The system periodically regenerates itself using brine from a second tank, then returns to normal service automatically.
Softeners are sized around the hardness of your water, the number of people in the home and how much water you use, so the right unit for one property is not automatically the right unit for another.

Your options
Softening Options We Can Discuss
The right configuration depends on your water source, hardness level, household size and available space.
Higher-Capacity Systems
Larger capacities for bigger households, heavy water use or higher hardness readings.
Softener & Filtration Combinations
Pairing a softener with carbon or sediment filtration when taste, odor or particles are also a concern.
Well Water Configurations
Softening set up alongside iron or sulfur treatment when the property is supplied by a private well.
Salt-Efficient Setups
Control settings and sizing chosen to regenerate based on actual water use.
Replacement Systems
Replacing an aging or failed softener and correcting the plumbing connections where needed.
Combination systems
Softening Paired With Filtration
When taste, odor or chlorine are also a concern, a softener can be paired with a carbon filtration stage.
