Even the toughest, most tenacious water softener has a limited lifespan in the battle against hard water’s harsh minerals. While these systems are built to take a beating, constant exposure to high hardness levels eventually takes its toll. When your softener starts showing signs of slowing down, it may be time to call in Bassett’s replacement reinforcements. Here are some telltale indicators it’s softener retirement season:

Our Water Softener Installation Process
A water softener only performs as well as its sizing and installation. Here is how we approach it, from the first water test to the walkthrough before we leave.
Initial Assessment
We thoroughly inspect your existing plumbing and water supply, and test your water before recommending anything.
Sizing the Ideal Solution
Using the results of those tests, we size the right softener for your home’s specific hardness and usage.
Preparing for Installation
We get your home’s pipes ready for the new system, including any tie-in work the install requires.
System Installation
Our experts connect the plumbing meticulously, so the unit is integrated properly rather than simply attached.
Activating the Soft Water
With everything hooked up and tested, we bring the system online and confirm soft water at the fixtures.
System Walkthrough
Before we leave, we show you how to operate the controls and maintain the system so it lasts.

3 months agoThomas was professional and went a step above. Did a great job to show me everything that I had to keep an eye on and cleaned up like he wasn’t never there. Price wise I’m on their membership program we bought with our new system. They’ve been good so far and it’s been a few yrs now.
Michelle Mullins
4 months agoShowed up on time. Respectful, kind, and efficient. I’m sure my husband could have replaced the capacitor but for the price and convenience we were happy to spend our money here. They installed our furnace last year and we have always happy with CJS.
Richard Wirey
5 months agoTyler came in explained in detail what was about to take place and what I needed. Fixed and arranged it for me to pay with ease. The whole task was simple and fast. I would recommend your services with your company anytime to anyone! Thank you so much for helping us!
A Wal
5 months agoWe had an issue with our sump pump going off, even though there wasn’t any water problem, and it turned out the entire unit needed to be replaced. We called Bassett that morning, and they were able to offer same-day service, which we really appreciated. Throughout the day, I received texts and calls keeping me updated that they were still coming, even as other jobs ran longer. I didn’t mind the delay at all—it was clear they were doing their best to fit us in. Josh arrived later in the day and spent a few hours replacing the sump pump. He explained everything clearly and was both informative and understanding throughout the process. He also took the time to look at another issue, took photos and measurements, and said he would follow up after speaking with his boss. What really stood out was his professionalism and attitude. Even after 6 p.m., when he mentioned he still had two more stops to go, he never once rushed or made us feel like just another job. He made us feel like a priority, and that meant a lot. We’re very grateful for the service and would absolutely recommend Bassett, and especially Josh, to others.
Michelle McElwee
7 months agoWe got estimates for a new water softener. I hadn't compared prices anywhere else. After receiving your estimate I called another service. To install and replace it was 5 and 6000 dollars less. Wow what a difference. We are going with the other service. Dale was great. He was very helpful. And so nice. The gal on the phone was also nice. Overall great experience. It just a money thing. Thank you so much Have a nice spring, Michelle
