Water softeners help remove hard minerals such as calcium and magnesium from drinking water. Options for installing a unit usually include buying one from a big box store and installing it yourself, or professional installation from water softener companies. Smart Living Water Purification and Health Products provide water-softening products to fit every need. Here are four different advantages of working with a water softener company: 

1. Accurate Testing 

Water hardness differs in every home and needs testing before choosing a water softener unit. Softeners come in different sizes and capacities, and the right choice is a balance of house size and water hardness. Professional softener installation can start with a water hardness test that identifies the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium. This test may be done onsite or through a lab analysis and measured in grains per gallon. Based on the results, a professional installer will choose the right softener system that produces enough water without overworking.

2. Comprehensive Installation 

Installing a water softener includes unit location, size, and integration with other utilities. For a whole-house system, water softener companies evaluate the optimal location for a unit based on where the main water supply. Most water softeners have a mineral tank and a brine tank. They are usually undisturbed while being as close to the water supply as possible, and features like water purifiers will also influence the optimal location. Using professional installers saves installation time and avoids mistakes that may affect your plumbing system. 

3. Access to the Latest Technology 

Professional water softeners can use high-quality parts and the latest filtration technology. Other features like computerized control, low salt indicators, or water flow indicators are often only available on professional models. The quality of units from water softener companies also means the system tends to perform longer than hardware store options, saving you the process of buying and installing another softener every few years. Smart Living Water Purification and Health Products provides three water softening systems we can customize to meet your needs. 

4. Ongoing Support and Maintenance 

Water softeners require some maintenance and may occasionally need repair. When you work with a water softener company, the support continues past installation.
