Choosing a New Water Softener

When you need to replace an aging water softener, two considerations are important: how much water your home uses everyday and how hard your water is on average. New water softeners are rated by their grain capacity — the number of units of water hardness the system can remove before requiring regeneration. Home testing kits are available to help you determine the amount of hardness in your water; you can also call Mr. Rooter Plumbing for an immediate assessment using the latest diagnostic tools. From there, we can determine the best model for your home and provide a more accurate quote for installation.

Water Softener Regeneration and Your Septic System

Over time, a residential water softener loses its ability to filter out hard materials and must be regenerated. If you live in a home with a septic system, however, some studies have indicated that regeneration — which effectively flushes out softening salt, creating a brine solution — may have a negative impact on septic system bacteria. To ensure your septic system remains healthy, take the following precautions when setting up a new water softener:

• Choose a more efficient model that requires regeneration less frequently.
• Choose a water softener that can be set to regenerate based on usage rather than time.
• Have your water softener installed so that only needed water is processed.
• Use potassium chloride rather than a sodium-based softening solution.
