If you’ve got hard water, a water softener is an easy and quick way to increase your quality of life! That might sound dramatic, but hard water damages your hair and can cause dry, itchy skin and acne.
On top of that, hard water affects your plumbing system and water appliances.
All this being said, these are only the things that are proven. Hard water and its effects are constantly being studied because of the potential effects certain minerals and metals can have on our minds and body.

Water softener systems can be pricey.
But not having a water softener can cost more in the longrun.
Additionally, we believe that every Canadian is entitled to good drinking water. We’re weird like that.
So, if you need a water softener installed, you’ve come to the right place!
We can install a water softener we supply, install a water softener you supply, or finance a water softener system through our rent-to-own program!

Just like every service, there are people out there who will try and sell you the most expensive service they can.
They’re in the business of draining bank accounts from single-serve customers.

A water softener is a water filtration system that removes high concentrations of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals from hard water, making the water soft.
A water softener is installed in your home where it can be connected to your water source. As water flows through the water softener system, calcium, magnesium, and other minerals are filtered out, and the soft water is then distributed throughout your home.
Compared to hard water, soft water is better for your skin, hair, clothes, plumbing fixtures, dishes, plumbing appliances, and more!
Hard water is water that has high mineral content. Water becomes hard as rainwater travels through the ground. As it moves through soil and rock, water absorbs minerals and becomes harder.
Eventually, this water becomes a part of the water supply.
Although minerals are essential to sustaining life, too many minerals can be a bad thing.
Is a new water softener installation necessary for your home and water supply?
Many homeowners believe that the water softener system cost outweighs the value. However, if your home has hard water, then a water softener is definitely worth considering as it offers countless benefits to you, your home, and your wallet.
That being said, Ottawa water is considered soft water. However, well water is often very hard.
But even if your home uses municipal water in Ottawa, you can benefit from a water softener as there are still hard minerals in the water supply, albeit much less than well water.
The amount of dissolved minerals in your water combined with the water usage in your home will guide us towards the right water softener for you!
A water softener that is too small will struggle to keep up and will wear out fast!
A water softener that is too big, on the other hand, won’t regenerate often enough – which also isn’t good!
That’s why John The Plumber is committed to finding you the perfect water softener system for your needs!
If you’re wondering “What water softener do I need?”, we can help!
In order to find you the perfect water softener, we need to know what the hardness of your water supply and how much water is used!
So we start with…
An important factor is your water quality!
How many dissolved minerals are in your drinking water?
Unlike many water treatment specialists, John The Plumber arrives on site with the testing kit on hand.
This way, we can show you your water hardness in realtime! No more waiting for samples to be sent out, received, and tested!
Once we know all the variables above, it’s easy to find the perfect water softeners for your home.
We’ll provide you with options and the water softener system cost for each available option.
Once you decide on the perfect water system for yourself, it won’t be long before your new water softener install is done and your drinking water is as good or better than bottled water!
How much capacity for the right water softener system also depends on how many bathrooms your home has.
The number of bathrooms helps narrow down your water usage, and installing a water softener is best done with the best water usage information available!
Once we know the important variables at play, it won’t be long before your water hardness is that of softened water!
More people in your home means more water being used and consumed.
If you use more water in your household, you’ll need a bigger water softener capacity!
John The Plumber is proud to be the water softener expert near you!
We serve all of Ottawa and the surrounding areas!
