Water Softener Installation and Maintenance

Eliminate hard water problems with a professionally installed water softener. Grant Mechanical Inc. provides expert installation and maintenance for long-lasting performance and cleaner water.

What You Need to Know

Hard water is common across Southern Ontario and can cause mineral buildup in your pipes, appliances, and fixtures. Over time, this buildup leads to reduced water flow, higher energy costs, and shortened appliance life. A water softener removes minerals like calcium and magnesium, providing cleaner, softer water for your entire home or business.

Grant Mechanical Inc. offers professional water softener installation and maintenance services, ensuring your system is properly sized, efficiently installed, and maintained for long-term reliability. Whether you’re replacing an outdated softener or installing one for the first time, our licensed plumbers will make sure your system performs at its best.

With softer water, you’ll notice brighter laundry, shinier fixtures, longer-lasting appliances, and fewer plumbing issues caused by mineral buildup.

Water Softener Installation and Maintenance FAQ

Q1: How do I know if I need a water softener?

A: Signs of hard water include white spots on dishes, soap scum buildup, dull laundry, and reduced water pressure. If you notice these issues, a softener can help protect your plumbing and appliances.

Q2: How long does a water softener last?

A: With proper maintenance, most systems last 10–15 years. Regular service extends lifespan and ensures consistent performance.

Q3: Do water softeners require a lot of maintenance?

A: Not much. You’ll need to keep salt levels filled and schedule periodic maintenance to check the resin bed and system calibration.

Q4: Can a water softener improve drinking water quality?

A: It primarily removes minerals that cause hardness, but for enhanced taste or contaminant removal, we recommend pairing it with a filtration system.

Q5: What’s the difference between salt-based and salt-free systems?

A: Salt-based softeners remove hardness minerals, while salt-free systems condition the water to reduce scale buildup. We can help determine which is best for your property.
