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.
