Water Softener Installation & Service

The Edmond and OKC area water supply is generally considered moderately to very hard, ranging from 100 to 250 milligrams per liter of calcium carbonate depending on the source and season. This is above the threshold where most homeowners notice scale and soap issues.

A salt-based softener uses an ion exchange process. Water passes through a resin bed that swaps calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions. The resin periodically regenerates using a brine solution made from softener salt.

A typical household uses 6 to 12 pounds of salt per regeneration cycle. Most systems regenerate every 3 to 7 days depending on water usage and hardness level. We program your system to regenerate only as needed to minimize salt use.

Softened water adds a small amount of sodium, typically 20 to 40 mg per liter. This is well within safe limits for most people. If you have sodium dietary restrictions, we can add a reverse osmosis tap for drinking water that removes the sodium.

The right size depends on your household water hardness and daily water usage. An undersized softener will not keep up while an oversized one wastes salt and water. We calculate the correct grain capacity for your specific home.

A quality water softener lasts 10 to 20 years with regular maintenance. The main upkeep is adding salt and an occasional resin cleaning or replacement. We offer maintenance plans to keep your system running efficiently.
