Airdrie Water Softener Services

---

Are you worried about the quality of your home’s drinking water in Airdrie or Calgary? Tired of spending money on bottled water or filter pitchers that don’t last? Our team at KaiTech Plumbing & Heating in Airdrie provides affordable water treatment solutions customized to your home’s unique water source—whether it’s a rural well just or the city supply.

We have extensive experience installing water softeners in Airdrie and Calgary, helping homeowners improve water quality and protect their plumbing systems and appliances. Whether you're dealing with hard water or chemical contaminants, we offer a variety of water treatment solutions to suit your needs and budget.

Common water treatment concerns include:

• Hard water from wells or mineral-rich municipal supplies 
• Chlorine and other treatment chemicals 
• Sediment, odors, and poor-tasting water
   

We offer:

• Water softeners to reduce hardness and prevent buildup 
• Whole-home and under-sink filtration systems to eliminate contaminants
   

Our Airdrie plumbing experts will assess your needs, test your water, and recommend the most effective system for your home.

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 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.

Water softeners and water filtration systems are not the same. Unlike Water softeners that are specifically designed to remove hard minerals, water filtration systems are designed to remove an even broader range of contaminants such as iron, sediment, and chemicals that are common contaminants found in water. They can, however, be combined into a single unit.

One of the most appealing features about a water filtration system is that the system itself requires little – to no - maintenance. They automatically clean, flush, and drain the internal filters for a continuous supply of filtered water throughout your home. Not only do water filtration systems supply healthy drinking water, they also extend your plumbing fixtures and heating appliances lives by eliminating mineral build-up. 

Some of the benefits of using a water filtration system include:

• Water not only tastes better, but also smells better too because bacterial contaminants, chlorine, and other substances are removed.
• A solid block carbon water filter can remove hazardous contaminants from drinking water while retaining healthy mineral deposits that balance the pH of drinking water.
• Water filters offer the last line of defense between the body and known toxins that may possibly be existing in your drinking water.
• The convenience of filtered water from your tap provides healthy water for cooking as well as cleaning and drinking.
• Over time, water filters are more cost effective than buying filtered bottled water and even better for the environment.
