Problems With Hard Water
High levels of calcium and magnesium in your water can build up and leave limescale deposits on your plumbing fixtures, pipes, and appliances, shortening their life span and interfering with water pressure, and causing blockages.
Soap does not lather well in hard water and leaves scum on fixtures, shower doors, and sinks. Hard water may leave stains on glassware and dishes and leave laundry looking dingy and feeling stiff.
That hard water soap scum can irritate sensitive skin, making it feel dry and itchy.
How Can I Tell If My Home Needs a Water Softener?
Some common signs of hard water include:
- White, chalky residue on faucets, shower doors, and dishes
- Dry, itchy skin after bathing
- Soap scum buildup in sinks, tubs, and showers
- Faded, stiff clothing after laundry
- Reduced water pressure from mineral-clogged pipes
If you’re experiencing these issues, contact us for a professional water test.
How Often Should My Water Softener Be Serviced?
To maintain peak performance, we recommend scheduling annual maintenance. Our technicians will:
- Check for salt bridging
- Clean the resin tank
- Inspect valves and controls
- Test water softness levels

You can count on our team to correctly install your water softening system so that you enjoy the most value from it.
How Do Water Softeners Work?
The typical water softener replaces calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions. As water enters the water softener's main tank, it passes through resin beads that have absorbed sodium.
The calcium and magnesium in the water are positively charged and attracted to the negatively charged resin. They cling to the beads while the softened water leaves the tank for distribution through your Utah home's plumbing system.
The system must be cleaned every few days with salt water to recharge the resin beads and remove the mineral deposits. A separate tank holds salty water for the cleaning and recharging process, and connects to the main softening tank. A valve controls the amount of water used during cleaning and recharging.
The sodium tank typically can be refilled with salt pellets. Some softening systems use potassium rather than salt.
Water Softeners Versus Water Conditioners
You may have heard about salt-free alternatives to water softeners called water conditioners. Water conditioners make the minerals less abrasive but do not remove them all.
Although water conditioners can significantly improve your water, scaling still is possible.
If you want to eliminate calcium and magnesium from your water, we recommend installing a water softener.
Some homeowners are interested in water conditioners because they require less maintenance than water softeners. If maintenance is your concern, let our qualified pros at Gillette Services - Plumbing, Heating & Air handle the work for you. We can install and maintain your system while you enjoy softened water in your home.
