Hard water can leave deposits in pipe, eventually causing blockages. It can also damage appliances and leave spots on dishes and other kitchenware. At Express Plumbing Heating & Air we specialize in water softener installation that can mitigate these and other problems. Water softeners remove common minerals that lead to hard water including calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese. We install the leading brands of water softening systems with the latest technologies to remove these and provide Nampa homes with soft, clean water.

Rather than traditional filters, which don’t trap water hardening minerals, water softeners use resin beads coated with sodium. As hard water flows through, the sodium is swapped with ambient minerals and discharged in trace amounts as part of a molecular reaction called ion exchange.
The minerals are stored in a water softener media tank. Eventually, the system stores as much as it can; when it reaches this point depends on the water hardness level and water flow volume. Minerals are then removed in a flush and backwash cycle. Salt-based units use salt water to clean the media, most of which is flushed before entering your drinking water; the unit will then continue to remove minerals from the water supply.
If you notice signs of hard water in your home, contact us and we’ll provide honest, reliable solutions and services. Our professionals will install, repair, and maintain a water softener that is dependable, long-lasting and provides a full range of benefits. In addition, we also offer financing options and the added benefit of equipment coverage through our Express VIP Club for customers across the Treasure Valley. For more information, give us a call.
