FAQs About Water Softener Systems
What is a Water Softener?
A water softener is a home filtration system designed to eliminate minerals like calcium and magnesium from your water supply. These naturally occurring minerals are what make water “hard,” which can lead to buildup on faucets, reduce soap lather, and slowly damage your plumbing and water-using appliances.
In many parts of Canada, especially in regions like British Columbia, hard water is a regular issue. Installing a water softener in your home helps protect your pipes and appliances while giving you better quality water for everyday use—whether it’s for bathing, laundry, or cleaning.
How Do Water Softener Systems Work?
Water softeners function using a method called ion exchange. Inside the unit, resin beads with a negative charge attract positively charged hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium. As your home’s water passes through the tank, these minerals stick to the resin beads, and sodium ions are released into the water in their place—resulting in softened water flowing through your system.
Eventually, the resin becomes saturated with hardness minerals and must be cleaned through a process called regeneration. The system flushes out buildup with a reverse water flow, then sends a concentrated saltwater solution through the tank to dislodge the minerals and recharge the resin with sodium.Modern systems are equipped to regenerate either on a preset schedule or based on your actual water usage, ensuring optimal efficiency and performance.
What Size of Water Softener System Do I Need?
Water softeners are measured in grain capacity—the number of mineral grains they can remove before requiring regeneration. For most Canadian households, systems with a capacity between 32,000 and 64,000 grains offer the right mix of performance and efficiency.During your in-home consultation, a Moore & Russell technician will test your water hardness levels and evaluate your household’s usage to recommend the ideal system size. You’ll get a unit that meets your needs without being oversized or unnecessarily costly.
What Are the Benefits of a Whole House Water Softener?
A water softener system from Moore & Russell Heating and Air Conditioning helps safeguard your home’s plumbing and appliances from the harmful effects of mineral buildup caused by hard water. By reducing scale deposits, your water heater, dishwasher, washing machine, and other appliances work more efficiently and are less likely to break down—extending their lifespan and lowering long-term maintenance costs.
Switching to soft water also enhances your daily cleaning tasks. You’ll use up to 50% less soap or detergent and still get better results. Dishes come out of the dishwasher without spots, your laundry will feel softer and look more vibrant, and you won’t have to constantly scrub away buildup from sinks and shower doors.
Beyond household chores, many homeowners notice an improvement in personal comfort. Soft water is easier on your skin and hair. Those with dry or sensitive skin—especially anyone dealing with conditions like eczema—often find noticeable relief. Hair tends to feel smoother and requires fewer products like conditioners or moisturizers.
When you choose Moore & Russell for your water softener installation, our skilled technicians ensure everything is configured for maximum performance. We adjust your system to match your household’s water hardness and usage, fine-tuning salt use and regeneration timing for optimal efficiency right from the start.
