Water Softeners & Filtration in San Jose, CA
A water softener is the fix for hard water, which is why fixtures scale up and water heaters fail early in San Jose.
Questions people ask
Is San Jose water hard?
San Jose Water counts water above 120 parts per million as hard. Its groundwater runs 183 to 440 mg/L, imported surface water 77 to 153 and mountain surface water 84 to 198, depending on which source serves your street (San Jose Water).
What does hard water do to my plumbing?
The minerals build up in cartridges, aerators and valve seats, so faucets drip or lose flow before they look old, and scale builds up in a tankless water heater heat exchanger.
Do I need a water softener?
If scale keeps coming back on your faucets and fixtures, or your tankless heater needs descaling, a softener is the longer fix. Fixing one faucet treats the symptom. The softener treats the water.
Do you install water filtration too?
Yes. We install water softeners and filtration, along with the plumbing they connect to.
Water where it should not be?
Call and describe what you are seeing. If it can wait until morning, we will say so.
