Water Softener and Water Filtration Installation
Water Softener and Water Filtration Installation in Long Beach and Los Alamitos
Much of Southern California’s water is hard. That means it carries dissolved calcium and magnesium that leave white spots on glass shower doors, crust on faucets and showerheads, and scale inside water heaters and tankless units. Many homeowners also want to cut down on the chlorine taste and odor from treated municipal water.
Worthey Plumbing installs water softeners, whole house filtration systems and drinking water systems for homes across Rossmoor, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach, Long Beach and Huntington Beach, along with Cypress, Westminster, Garden Grove, Fountain Valley, Lakewood and Cerritos.
What Hard Water Does to Your Plumbing
Scale is more than a cosmetic problem. It builds up inside pipes and narrows them over time. It coats the bottom of water heater tanks, which makes them work harder and fail sooner. In tankless water heaters it clogs the heat exchanger and causes error codes. It also shortens the life of faucets, valves, dishwashers and washing machines. Soft water helps protect all of that equipment and makes soap and shampoo lather more easily.
Water Softener Installation
A traditional salt-based softener removes hardness minerals through ion exchange. It’s the most effective option for truly soft water. Salt-free conditioners, sometimes called scale inhibitors, change how minerals behave so they’re less likely to stick to surfaces, without adding sodium or needing a drain. Some cities restrict salt-based softeners that discharge to the sewer, so we’ll check what’s allowed in your area and help you choose the right type.
We size the system based on your household’s water use and your water’s hardness, install it at the main line with a bypass valve so you can shut it off for service, and set it up to run efficiently.
Whole House Water Filtration
A whole house carbon filtration system treats water where it enters the home, so every tap and shower gets filtered water. These systems are good at reducing chlorine and chloramine, which improves taste and odor and can be easier on skin and hair. Many homeowners pair a whole house filter with a softener for the best of both.
Drinking Water Systems
For drinking and cooking water, an under-sink reverse osmosis system removes a wider range of dissolved solids than a carbon filter alone. We install RO systems with a dedicated faucet and can connect them to your refrigerator’s ice maker and water dispenser.
Water Softener and Filtration FAQs
They do different jobs. A softener deals with hardness and scale. A filter deals with chlorine, taste and odor. Many homes benefit from both.
Salt-based softeners need salt added periodically. Filters and RO membranes need replacement on a schedule that depends on the system and your water use. We'll set you up with a simple maintenance plan.
Usually near the main water line, often in the garage or on the side of the house. We'll find the best location during the estimate.
