How Do Water Softeners Work?

How Water Softeners Work — And Why Your Home Might Need One

The effects of hard water are caused by calcium and magnesium that naturally become dissolved in the groundwater as it passes though the earth. These minerals can accumulate on the inside of your plumbing pipes and fixtures, reducing water flow, and cause other problems such as staining, skin irritation, and reduced lathering in soaps.


Indications You Have Hard Water In Your Home Include: 

  • Stiff or rough clothing after washing
  • Soaps won’t lather
  • Soap scum and calcium build-up around plumbing fixtures (faucets, shower heads, and drains)
  • Stains on dishes and utensils after cleaning
  • Dry or irritated skin (particularly after taking a shower or bath)


Water softeners are designed to remove calcium and magnesium by replacing them with sodium during an ion exchange process, and once the system has removed large amounts of minerals, the system is flushed out and recharged with sodium to continue operating effectively.


Households With Water Softeners Benefit From:

  • Better tasting water
  • Softer clothes with brighter colors
  • Cleaner dishes, cars, and plumbing fixtures
  • Less money wasted on soap and shampoo
  • Longer lifespan for water-using appliances
  • Softer hair and smoother skin


Our Licensed Airdrie Plumbers can install your new water softener in a matter of a few hours, typically on the main fresh water line for whole-home plumbing system protection. Other installation options exist for those concerned about sodium intake, such as hot water line installations. The cost to install a water softener will depend on the price of the system, the complexity of the installation, and the costs for labor and materials.

Calcium and magnesium in hard water can create scale, hinder soap performance, and damage home appliances. A properly installed water softener eliminates these minerals, improving both the feel and taste of your water while protecting your plumbing.

Water Softener FAQs: Clear Answers For Cleaner Living

Tired of chalky shower heads and stiff laundry? You're not alone—hard water is a daily struggle in Calgary and Airdrie. Check out these frequently asked questions to see how a water softener could be the upgrade your home needs.

Yes—both Calgary and Airdrie are known for having hard water due to high levels of calcium and magnesium. Getting a water softener or a water filtration system installed in your home can help protect your plumbing, improve soap efficiency, and provide softer skin and cleaner laundry. 


Calgary and Airdrie generally have hard water due to the presence of calcium and magnesium from the Bow and Elbow Rivers. Water hardness in Calgary can vary seasonally and by location, but it's generally considered hard, ranging from 7.4 to 11.6 grains per gallon (gpg) in the northern part of Calgary. 


Yes. Mineral buildup in the tank acts as insulation between the burner and the water, meaning more energy is needed to heat your water—leading to higher utility costs.


Absolutely. Hard water causes corrosion, scale buildup, and premature wear on heating elements. This often leads to early breakdowns and the need for expensive water heater repairs or a full hot water tank replacement.
