If you’ve noticed scale buildup on your fixtures, cloudy dishes after washing, or your appliances breaking down faster than they should, you’re likely dealing with hard water. At Lowery’s Plumbing, we install high-quality water softeners that help protect your home and give you better water throughout the house.
Across many parts of Florida, hard water is a consistent problem. The local water supply often carries high levels of calcium and magnesium, which creates mineral buildup in everything from your water heater to your showerheads. We’ve seen a steady increase in requests for softener systems as more families are getting frustrated with the damage hard water causes.
What used to be thought of as a luxury add-on has become more of a necessity. From older neighborhoods with aging pipes to newer homes with tankless water heaters, hard water affects them all. If you’re constantly dealing with soap scum, dry skin, or short appliance lifespans, a softener is worth looking into.
Installing a water softener improves a lot more than just the taste of your water. Our customers often report softer skin, smoother hair, and far less cleaning. You’ll find your dishwasher performs better, laundry comes out brighter, and your water heater doesn’t have to fight mineral buildup anymore.
Soft water also protects your plumbing. Pipes stay cleaner and last longer, and fixtures don’t corrode as quickly. That means fewer repairs down the road and better performance from every water-using appliance in your home. For families that have already had to replace a dishwasher or water heater early due to scale damage, the benefits of a softener system become pretty obvious.
The biggest mistake we see is people buying the wrong size or type of softener for their home. Some go for a bargain unit that can’t handle the flow rate or water hardness in their area. Others install systems that aren’t certified or tested for long-term use.
Another issue is maintenance. A lot of folks aren’t told how to properly care for the system. If a softener isn’t programmed right or isn’t flushed on schedule, it won’t do its job—and you’ll end up thinking the system failed when it was just a poor install or lack of setup.
When we install a softener, we size it properly for your home and explain how it works. You’ll know how often to refill the salt, how to do a manual recharge if needed, and when to call us for maintenance. We can even set it up to run quietly during off-peak hours so it doesn’t interfere with your daily routine.
We don’t just drop in the unit and leave. We test your water first to see what kind of system you really need. We install it to code, make sure the bypass valve is accessible, and walk you through exactly how it operates.
More importantly, we back our work. You get a system that’s built to last and installed by a licensed professional who actually cares if it works the way it should. If you ever have a problem or a question, you’re not dealing with a big-box store, you’re calling us directly, and we’ll make it right.
