Water softeners are a valuable appliance for homeowners who deal with hard water on a daily basis. If you’re concerned about the condition of this appliance and aren’t convinced that it’s doing the job, Butler Water Systems of Fairfield, OH, recommends contacting the professionals so your family can enjoy fresh water again.

These experts recommend looking out for the following signs of a failing water softener.

Hard Water Spots

If you notice hard water spots are becoming more prominent around your kitchen sink and shower walls, then it might be time to have a professional take a look at your water softener. This appliance is supposed to reduce the mineral scale and buildup that appears throughout the house, so an increase in spots could indicate that the water softener is either broken or needs to be reset.

Soap Residue

Water softeners improve the condition of the water in your home, making it easier to wash dishes and laundry, and feel clean and refreshed after your shower. When you notice nothing feels clean after washing, but the softener’s salt pellets are fully stocked, it’s time to call for service.

Poor Water Pressure

A malfunctioning water softener can also have an effect on the water pressure, causing it to decrease dramatically. Before you’re left with nothing but a trickle, schedule an appointment with your local treatment professionals to perform the required maintenance to get it running again.

Whether you suspect something is wrong with your water softener or want your water analyzed by an expert, call Butler Water Systems today at (513) 867-5700. A knowledgeable technician will be available to answer any questions you may have and will set up your next appointment.
