Water Softeners Repair & Installation Fair Oaks Ranch

Initially established in the 1930s by Ralph Fair Sr. as a working ranch, Fair Oaks Ranch grew around the dairy, granary, and racehorse businesses established by Ralph Fair Sr. The city took off when Mr. Fair became famous for his registered Hereford Cattle, especially the bloodline from his bull named Battle. After the Fair family passed, the ranch became a residential community and was incorporated in 1988. With its beautiful location and rich history, Fair Oaks is a great place to live, work, and visit. At Boerne Water Softener Pros, we share the community pride of the residents of Fair Oaks Ranch and provide the best and most economical water softener service to the community.

Water Softener Repair Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas

• Grain Capacity 

Grain capacity refers to the number of grains the unit will need to filter. One grain equals 0.002 ounces of calcium carbonate dissolved in 1 gallon of water. This will be determined by the amount of water each person uses daily, and you can calculate this yourself or utilize a grain capacity sizing chart. 

• Water Hardness 

Water hardness refers to the amount of dissolved magnesium and calcium in the water. These minerals become concentrated in groundwater as it flows through rock and soil, where it picks up the minerals and deposits them in the groundwater supply. The hardness of the water will determine which size and type of water softener system you require.
​

• Budget 

One of the most important factors when determining the size and type of water softener unit to purchase is your budget. Water softener units not only come in different sizes and types, but they also can be either basic or have extra functions depending on your budget and needs. 
If you want to purchase a water softener system for your home or business, call the experts at Boerne Water Softener Pros today and set up a free consultation. 

Water softener units are an excellent and efficient way to reduce hard water from entering your home or business. Like any device or product, there will be times when the unit will need to be repaired. At Boerne Water Softener Pros, we have a team of highly educated, experienced, and licensed technicians who can diagnose and repair any residential or commercial unit. Listed below are some of the most common water softener repairs we see: 

• Salt Tank 

One of the most common repairs involves the water softener salt tank. If not routinely monitored, a "salt bridge" can form, causing the unit to malfunction. Salt is essential for the proper filtration of your water, and at times, when salt does not dissolve properly, it can fuse, forming hard salt deposits called salt bridges. To get the unit working correctly again, these salt bridges must be removed, allowing the salt to dissolve properly. In addition to forming salt bridges, it is essential to maintain the proper salt level, which is two to three inches above the water level. You must use the appropriate salt for your unit, or it will not dissolve properly, causing the unit to malfunction. 

• Timer 

Another common problem we see with water softeners is problems with the timer. Since most water softener units are electric, a timer regulates the unit's cycles. This timer must be set to the correct time of day to cycle correctly. If the timer is off, the unit may cycle when the water is being used which can cause hard water to enter the pipes. You can reset the timer yourself and solve the problem, but if you reset it and it is still not working correctly, it is essential to call an expert and have the timer fixed or replaced. 
​

• Power 

Water softener units cycle at times of the day when no one is using the water, so the power must be working correctly, keeping the timer appropriately set. If you experience a power outage, blown a fuse, or other electrical problem that will cause the power to the water softener unit to be affected, it must be restored as quickly as possible. ​

• Lower Energy Costs 

Hard water causes mineral deposits to build up in your appliances, making them run inefficiently, which leads to higher energy costs. Conversely, installing a water softener will remove the excess minerals and keep your appliances running optimally, reducing energy costs. 

• More Efficient Cleaning 

Hard water makes cleaning more difficult because of the extra minerals; it will leave streaks and spots on glassware, dishes, and silverware, as well as cause a white film to build up around faucets and drains. Soft water, on the other hand, will make cleaning easier as you utilize purer water, allowing you to reach the optimal level of cleaning you desire. 

• Cleaner Pipes 

Hard water leaves mineral deposits in the pipes of your plumbing system, causing them to clog and creating costly repair issues. Since you most likely can't see the pipes, you have no idea how clogged they are until one burst, causing extensive damage to your property. By installing a water softener system, you can prevent this mineral build, keeping your pipes cleaner, safer, and working more effectively. ​
