HOW OFTEN SHOULD A WATER SOFTENER BE SERVICED?
Besides adding salt to your softener and occasionally cleaning out the brine tank, most water softener manufacturers recommend that you service your softener annually.
1. Cleaning & Upkeep:
During the annual service call, a water treatment professional can recharge your resins and clean out your brine tank. They can also check for salt bridging in the brine tank and sanitize your system, when needed.
- Needed Maintenance:
Like any appliance, your softener has moving parts and o-rings that wear out with time, and need replacement. Your softener’s valve may also need servicing or maintenance.
A professional can keep your system in top shape which will help extend the life of your water conditioner.
- Water Assessment:
A water treatment professional can test your water to make sure that the constituents in your water have not changed in the past year. Based on water test results, a professional can modify your system settings, install a prefilter, or whatever is needed to ensure you continue to have outstanding water flowing .
