Hard water is a common issue for many homeowners and businesses in Shannonville and the Quinte Region. It contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can cause a range of problems—from scale buildup in pipes and appliances to dry skin and dull hair. At Flow Efficient Plumbing, we specialize in professional water softener installation, repair, and maintenance services that improve water quality and protect your plumbing system.
When hard water flows through your pipes, minerals accumulate as scale deposits. Over time, this buildup restricts water flow, decreases the efficiency of water heaters, and can even shorten the lifespan of appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines. The damage isn’t just internal—hard water can also leave unsightly stains on sinks, tubs, and faucets, requiring frequent cleaning and repairs. Additionally, hard water reduces soap and detergent effectiveness, causing dry skin and hair, and leaving clothes looking dingy.
Our team begins with thorough water hardness testing to determine the specific mineral content in your water supply. This data helps us recommend the most effective water softening system tailored to your home or business needs. We install high-quality, reliable water softeners that use ion exchange technology—exchanging calcium and magnesium ions for sodium or potassium ions—resulting in soft, mineral-free water.
Installation involves careful system sizing, placement, and connection to your existing plumbing to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance. We only work with trusted brands that meet Ontario’s water safety standards, ensuring durability and long-term reliability.
Maintaining your water softener is crucial to keep it working efficiently. Flow Efficient Plumbing offers regular maintenance plans that include resin cleaning, salt replenishment, and performance diagnostics to prevent breakdowns and extend system life. We also provide prompt repair services if you notice issues such as low water pressure, salty-tasting water, or system leaks.
Soft water not only protects your plumbing and appliances but also improves your quality of life. Many of our customers report softer skin, shinier hair, cleaner dishes, and less soap scum buildup after installing a water softener. It can also lower energy costs by improving water heater efficiency.
Whether you are replacing an old water softener, upgrading during a renovation, or installing a new system in a recently built property, Flow Efficient Plumbing is your trusted partner. Our experienced plumbers provide expert advice, professional installation, and reliable ongoing service tailored to your needs.
