Water Softeners in Cary, NC

If you see white scale on faucets, spots on dishes, or your soap does not lather well, you likely have hard water. We offer a free water test at your home to confirm. Water above roughly 7 grains per gallon (about 120 parts per million) is generally considered hard.

It depends on your water hardness and how much water you use. Harder water and bigger households use more. High-efficiency models use less by regenerating only when needed.

Yes, softened water is safe to drink. The softening process adds sodium, and the harder your water was, the more it adds. For most people the amount is small compared with what's in food. If sodium is a concern, we can install a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink.

A quality water softener lasts 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. The resin bed may need replacement after 10 to 15 years depending on water chemistry and usage.

A properly sized softener has minimal impact on water pressure. We size the system to handle your peak flow demand so you will not notice a difference during showers or when running multiple fixtures.
