Water Softeners for Ottawa Hills Homes
Ottawa Hills homes are on Grand Rapids city water, which still leaves scale on fixtures and inside heaters. In an older basement, the softener has to fit around existing pipes and drains. We place it ahead of the water heater and set a code-compliant drain.

How the Job Works
Step 1: Test the hardness
We test your water on site to find your actual hardness level before we suggest a system.
Step 2: Size and select
We match the system type to your household size, water use and hardness level: single tank, dual tank or salt-free conditioner.
Step 3: Install correctly
We tie the softener into your main supply at the right point, set a code-compliant drain and place it ahead of your water heater.
Step 4: Start up and explain
We set the unit up, check for leaks and show you how to refill salt and when to service it.

Water Softeners Questions from Ottawa Hills
Not always. Grand Rapids city water is treated, but it can still leave scale on fixtures and in water heaters. A hardness test shows your level in minutes. If a softener makes sense, we size it to your household and fit it around your older basement plumbing.
Call us during office hours, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and describe what you are seeing. We will explain what the first visit involves and agree a time that works. For larger jobs, we price the work after we have seen it.
No. Hard water contains calcium and magnesium, which are not a health hazard. The problems are practical: scale in pipes and appliances, soap that will not lather and spots on dishes. A softener fixes those without changing the safety of the water.
