water softener

I own a 2 bed condo in Arizona that I don’t plan on keeping for more than another two years or so. The water in Phoenix is notoriously hard, and my water softener recently cracked, which caused a major flood. After months of repairs, I am debating if it’s worth getting a new softener, or just...

Good day, I have a broken water softener sitting outside the house for years, it is still connected but the switch was turned off. This morning I found it is leaking, please see the video. What could cause the leaking, and how can I stop it? I would appreciate very much you help.

Hello! New here, I hope to get some guidance. So, we moved to a townhouse, in Phoenix metro area, AZ, that is built in 2016. In the garage, there was a 1” CPVC water loop with a 1/2” drain line right below the loop. The drain line goes through the wall and upstairs and ends right above the...

When my softener does a regen, the water looks like this for about 24 hours . It will (mostly) clear up after a couple minutes if I let it run and look like this. Years back, my pump started to go out and the only sign was because the water got real brown from being churned up inside the well...

My wife and I just bought a house with spring water from a house with town water. Ever since we moved in, after she showers, her hair feels greasy and knotted up when we run our fingers through it. Also our skin feels kind of sticky after we get out of the shower and are drying off. Is spring...

I rent an apartment in Santiago, Chile where the water is very hard. For the last few years, I've been using the building's laundry on the ground floor but this costs a fortune over the long run and is frankly a ballache when you're on the 12th floor. A colossal waste of time. Not to mention...

I just installed a whole home filter and water softener and there seems to be a pressure problem. The pressure relief valve on the filter keeps leaking and the softener won’t fill. I have replaced the old copper tubing with 3/4” CPVC leading up to the softener and going away from the softener...

I'm going to replace an old concrete double width laundry tub with a newer plastic setup. The existing has no standpipes. Instead, the washing machine is hooked over one end of the tub and the opposite side of the tub has the water softener drain. Since these drains are a good 5 ft. apart I'm...
