EXPERT SOLUTIONS

When Does a Water Softener Need Replacing?

Bassett Services technician at a customer home

Mineral buildup is back. Crusty deposits returning on fixtures, appliances working less efficiently, and water spots on dishes all mean hard water is getting through.

Water feels hard again. If your water has taken on that chalky hardness it had before the softener went in, the system is no longer treating it.

Excessive resin replenishing. On salt-based ion exchange softeners, constantly refilling resin or potassium to keep it working points to a system at the end of its life.

Age and repair frequency. Past 15 to 20 years, with a technician out regularly replacing parts, those repair costs add up to more than a new system.
