Water Softener Installation & Repair in Las Vegas

Water softeners remove calcium and magnesium, the minerals that cause hard water, from your home’s supply of water. They use an ion exchange process to trade hard minerals for sodium or potassium ions, resulting in softer water.

Is a water softener worth it in Las Vegas? Definitely. The Valley has some of the country’s hardest water, which negatively impacts water heaters, plumbing fixtures, appliances, and even your skin. A water softener protects your home’s fixtures from scale buildup and helps extend the life of everything from your dishwasher to your showerheads.

BEST Air Conditioning Plumbing Repair installs and repairs water softeners throughout Clark County to help homeowners protect their plumbing systems.

What Las Vegas Hard Water Does to Your Home

Las Vegas hard water is hard on your home’s pipes, fixtures, and water heater. Not to mention, it also impacts your hair, skin, and laundry.

Frequent Clogs

Hard water causes mineral scale to build up inside of pipes, which can lead to frequent clogs or backups. Store-bought chemical drain cleaners do not remove scale from the interior of pipes, meaning that clogs can repeatedly come back.

Buildup on Fixtures

Hard water can also build up on fixtures like showerheads or faucets, leaving a chalky white crust behind. When mineral scale builds up on plumbing fixtures, it restricts water flow, lowers water pressure, and corrodes components. It can result in expensive repairs or premature wear and tear. If you need a new faucet, BEST offers fast faucet installation services.

Shortened Water Heater Life

Additionally, the Valley’s hard water can significantly impact your water heater’s lifespan. Hard water can cause limescale buildup inside of the water heater tank. The minerals settle at the bottom of the tank and bake onto the heating element, requiring it to work harder. This strain can raise utility bills and corrode the tank faster. Water heater maintenance is critical, especially if you don’t have a water softener.

Domestic Impacts

Hard water also can leave you with spotted dishes, dry skin and hair, and stiff or faded laundry. The minerals in hard water bind to the surfactants in laundry detergent and neutralize them, reducing the effectiveness of the clean. Hard water is also tough on your hair and skin, and may clog pores, trap dirt, or cause a dry scalp.

Water Softener Installation, Sized for Your Household

Properly sizing a water softener depends on your household’s daily water usage and hardness of your local water supply. Las Vegas’ hard water is far above the national average.

Our skilled technicians will test your water on site and calculate usage based on the number of people in your home. Then, we’ll recommend a system with the right grain capacity.

We will place your water softener near your main water line, before it splits off to your water heater, and close to a drain for the regeneration cycle backwash. Our team will provide honest recommendations on salt-based softeners vs. alternatives.

In Las Vegas, salt-based softeners typically outperform salt-free conditioners. However, if you’re concerned about salt discharge, we’ll walk through alternative options, such as potassium chloride or salt-free systems.

Water Softener Repair & Service

If you already have a water softener, we also offer repair and maintenance services. If your water softener is not regenerating properly, has salt bridges, is showing signs of resin failure, or is causing low water pressure, we can help.

Our plumbers will keep your water softener running the way it should to protect your plumbing system. BEST technicians service all major water softener brands throughout Clark County, including Whirlpool, GE Appliances, Aquasana, and Culligan.

Softening vs. Filtration: Which Do You Need?

It’s important to understand water softeners and water filtration systems solve different problems.

A softener addresses hardness minerals that impact your water heater, fixtures, and appliances, but doesn’t impact taste, odor, or contaminants like chlorine, sediment, or bacteria. If you’re looking to extend the life of your water heater, you’ll need a water softener.

A filtration system improves the taste quality of drinking water but doesn’t stop scale from building up in pipes or appliances. If you’re more concerned about having better-tasting tap water, you should consider a filtration system.

Sometimes, Las Vegas homeowners opt for both systems. We’ll help you decide what you need and provide honest recommendations.
