Signs You Need Water Filter or Softener Replacement

Water filters are simple systems that improve water quality by removing contaminants. They are easy to replace at the end of their lifespan and typically do not require repair, providing continuous clean water with minimal maintenance.

Water softeners, on the other hand, address hard water issues by removing minerals like calcium and magnesium. Unlike filters, water softeners have more complex components and specific replacement requirements.

Here are some signs indicating it might be time to replace your water softener:

  • Decreased Water Softening Efficiency: If your soap isn't lathering well, your laundry isn’t coming out clean, or you notice mineral spots on dishes and fixtures, your water softener may be losing efficiency. This usually means the resin bed is worn out and might need replacement.
  • Salt Bridges in the Brine Tank: Salt bridges form when a hard crust develops above the water in the brine tank, preventing salt from dissolving properly. If you're constantly dealing with salt bridges, it might be time to consider a replacement.
  • Resin Beads Fouling: Over time, resin beads can become contaminated, causing cloudy water, increased hardness, or decreased water flow. When resin beads can no longer effectively soften water, it is time for a replacement.
  • Constant Need for Maintenance or Repairs: Frequent repairs and maintenance indicate your water softener is reaching the end of its lifespan. Investing in a new system might be more cost-effective if your current system constantly requires maintenance or replacement parts.
  • Old Age or Outdated Technology: Water softeners typically last 10-15 years. Older models may not perform as well as newer ones and are more prone to failure. If your system is over a decade old, consider replacing it for better performance and energy efficiency.

When you schedule a replacement with Laughlin, our technicians follow a thorough process to ensure your new water softener system is installed correctly.

Here's a detailed look at our process:

  1. Preparation: The technician will begin by shutting off the water and power supply to the current unit. They will gather all necessary tools and supplies and prepare the area by draining the old water softener.
  2. Remove Old Unit: Next, the technician will disconnect the inlet and outlet pipes, disconnect the brine tank, and carefully remove the old water softener unit from your home.
  3. Install New Unit: Your new water softener unit will be positioned and installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines, ensuring it is securely connected to your plumbing.
  4. Connect and Setup: Once the installation is complete, the technician will restore the water supply and program the new unit with the appropriate settings for your home.
  5. Testing and Cleanup: Finally, the technician will manually start a regeneration cycle to verify the new unit is functioning correctly. They will also clean up the work area, leaving your home as they found it.

    Laughlin Electric was great. Easy to book an appointment. They sent a reminder of that appointment and info on who was coming. Cody was the best. Arrived when expected. Listened to what I needed sorted out and gave me options on how to go about it. He then quoted me a price and did the work. Basically did everything I would want and expect. They will be my first call for electrical work.

    Rob from Laughlin is incredible at his job. He installed a new ceiling fan box and wired a motion-activated closet light where there was no light previously. He was focused on minimizing holes in our walls (very minor paint/stucco rework needed) and was mindful to control dust and debris created during the work. He has significant expertise and was able to offer us a range of options to complete our tasks. He is super professional and very easy to talk to - we will recommend him and Laughlin to our friends and neighbors for sure. Thanks Rob for a job very well done!

    Laughlin Electric is truly the best! Lucas came out to our home to give us an estimate and he was able to stay and start the project the same day! We were on a timeline with some other projects and Lucas was so accommodating and professional. I would highly recommend Laughlin Electric and Lucas to anyone. Thank you Lucas, we appreciate you so much!

    Lukas Hutchison is full of knowledge and expertise. Young guy, but God does he know what he’s talking about. I had an issue with an overheating 14-50 car charging plug. Lukas informed me of multiple possible problems with the plug, but had a solution for all of those issues. While taking a look at the wiring in the wall he even took the time to trim down the wires because the previous install wasn’t “perfect”. Would def recommend these guys if you’re in need for electrical help. Very professional and attentive to detail. Thanks for your help, Lukas!

Their technicians are great, and I have worked a lot with Cody. He has exceeded expectations on every project he’s done for me. Large or small projects, he can do anything I throw at him. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I can’t recommend them enough for any electrical needs you have.

An overload is caused by too much power draw, which trips a breaker. If this becomes frequent, additional circuits can be added to your home to separate high-energy appliances and prevent overloads.

A short circuit occurs when aging wires become loose or worn, causing a hot wire to touch a neutral wire and disrupt the current’s path. If the appliance’s cord isn’t damaged, it is a sign that the cables behind the wall need maintenance.
