Signs You Need Water Softener Repair
The average lifespan of a water softener is about 15 years. And while yours should run smoothly with routine maintenance, it can develop problems. Here’s what Woodfin – Your Home Team want you to watch for.
-
Water Quality ChangeIf you notice spots on dishes, soap not lathering, or film residue on surfaces and skin, it could mean your water softener is failing.
-
Salt Bridges or MushingA crusty layer (salt bridge) or sludge (salt mushing) in the brine tank indicates a problem with your water softener.
-
Regeneration IssuesIf the water softener regenerates too frequently or not at all, it could be a mechanical or electronic issue affecting performance.


What Is Hard Water?
You might have heard the term ‘hard water’ but don’t know what it means. Hard water contains high mineral levels, particularly calcium and magnesium. The water picks up these minerals as it flows over deposits of limestone and chalk.
Hard water is safe to drink, but it can wreak havoc in your Richmond, VA, home, leading to issues like:
- Scale Build-Up: Hard water causes limescale to accumulate in pipes, boilers, water heaters, shower heads, and faucets, reducing their efficiency and lifespan.
- Soap and Detergent Issues: Hard water reacts with soap to form scum, which is difficult to clean. Moreover, hard water makes soap less effective at lathering and can leave your skin feeling dry.
- Stains and Film: Have you noticed spots on your silverware, glasses, or dishes after running them through the dishwasher? That’s hard water.
- Appliance Efficiency: Appliances like dishwashers and washing machines are less effective and often wear out faster than those running on softened water.
