Soft water, sized to your hardness
Hard water is the most common complaint we hear across Irvine and the neighboring cities. The minerals that cause it leave white crust around faucets, spots on dishes and shower glass, and a layer of scale inside water heaters and dishwashers that shortens their life. A water softener removes those minerals through ion exchange, so they never reach your fixtures. Irvine Water Systems sizes each softener to your measured hardness and daily water use, which keeps salt use reasonable and regeneration cycles efficient. The softener usually sits on the main line in the garage or a side yard, with a brine tank beside it and a drain connection for the regeneration cycle.
What comes with a softener install
A softener is only as good as its sizing and setup. These are the pieces we handle on every installation.
Hardness from your report
We base the grain capacity on the hardness in your water report, not a guess, so the unit is neither undersized nor oversized.
Household water use
We factor in people, bathrooms and appliances to set capacity and regeneration frequency for how you actually use water.
Metered control valve
The valve regenerates based on gallons used, not on a timer, which saves salt and water compared with older designs.
Brine tank placement
We position the salt tank where it is easy to reach for refills and away from the walkway.
Drain and air gap
The regeneration line is run to an approved drain with the right air gap so backflow cannot occur.
Bypass valve
You can put the softener in bypass for outdoor watering or service without shutting off the house.
Programming and first regeneration
We set the hardness, time and capacity, run a regeneration, and confirm soft water at a nearby tap.
Salt and care guidance
You learn which salt to buy, how often to check the level and what the control panel is telling you.
From hard water to soft water
Confirm the hardness
We review your report and talk through what you are seeing. If a salt-free conditioner would suit you better, we explain the trade-off before pricing anything.
Install and connect
We cut in on the main, connect the softener and brine tank, run the drain and add the bypass. Most installs are done in a single visit.
Program, test, explain
We program the valve, run the first regeneration and test the water. Then we show you the salt level, the bypass and the settings.
