Premier HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical and More in Santa Cruz, San Jose & Marin

Serving Santa Cruz, Marin, Santa Clara and Sonoma Counties

Are you looking for professional water softener installation in Santa Cruz, Marin, Santa Clara, and Sonoma or the surrounding SF Bay Area? Call today at 831-477-7150 for expert service at a great value. Hard water is easy to remove if you have the right tools. Give us a call and we’ll set up an appointment to get rid of your hard water for good. Take a look at our current online coupons and deals to save on your next water treatment service.

The role of a water softener is to turn hard water into soft water. Water softener systems are a form of water filtration and are valuable in places that have hard water. When properly installed, water softeners remove all the signs and effects of hard water from your household water supply.

What Makes Hard Water Hard?

Hard water becomes “hard” when there are extra minerals like magnesium and calcium in the water supply. These dissolved minerals usually come from rock formations close to your home, and even though they aren’t dangerous to your health, they still have several unpleasant effects you’ll notice on a daily basis. Get water softener installation in Santa Cruz, Marin, Santa Clara, and Sonoma to get rid of hard water!

Effects of Hard Water in Your Home

Limescale is the most obvious sign that you have hard water in your home. Limescale refers to a white residue that’s left on cookware, cutlery, dishes and certain appliances in the house. Sometimes, after years of hard water, the limescale can collect on the bottom of cookware and prevent your food from cooking thoroughly. Scrubbing limescale off is challenging, and after a while, it’s nearly impossible.

Hard water also makes it difficult to get your soap and shampoo to lather properly. Trying to lather soap with hard water is frustrating, and often leads to dull-looking hair and dry skin. This inability to lather also affects your laundry, and it can feel stiff and scratchy when it should feel soft. As you can see, none of these problems is dangerous, but they are an annoyance you don’t have to live with if you don’t want to. If you are sick of hard water, get a water softener installation in Santa Cruz, Marin, Santa Clara, and Sonoma for your home by calling our plumbing contractors at 831-477-7150.

DIY Won’t Always Work

On your quest to rid your home of hard water, you may stumble across many different home kits and DIY products, but be sure to take them all with a grain of salt. Some will work for a period of time, some won’t really work at all, but none of them measure up with a professionally installed water softening system from a reputable, experienced plumbing company. If you’re serious about ridding your home of hard water, professional water softener installation in Santa Cruz, Marin, Santa Clara, and Sonoma is the only way to go. Take control of your hard water problem by calling Bellows Plumbing, Heating & Air today at 831-477-7150. We will send a plumber to test the water and provide you with a fast, guaranteed solution.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zach did a fantastic and determined job of conquering our leak from under our crawlspace. Bellows sent someone an hour after I called with a leak report, although it was the end of the day. He diagnosed the issue, got cold water working, and was back the next day with the parts for the hot. Great attitude and fabulous service. Thanks, team bellows!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I give high praise to Bellows for performing three different jobs in succession. First, after being called to have a look, a Bellows troubleshooter recommended we replace our 40-year-old central furnace. We opted to respect his professional judgement. A two-man crew came and got the job done efficiently and with little disturbance. We asked for someone to have a look at our equally old shower valve. A man came to estimate the job then returned to replace it another day. Perfect! We love that we no longer wrestle with the old valve. Last, we asked that someone come to look at our home lighting. A man came to help us formulate a plan. Another two-man crew came and began work. We discussed our needs and minor changes were made to improve our environment further. In every case, we were treated courteously. When they requested permission to make changes, they were forthright and benefitted our environment. A sticking point to me, a retired craftsman, is cleanliness. Every person entering our home was professionally neat and left not the slightest dust for us after they left. I am impressed. Overall, my wife and I spoke with many people from Bellows both in person and on the phone. We would like to stress our perception that in every case, we felt we were working with a family business. That is, we were addressed courteously, and as friends, not simply clients. A few weeks on and we still marvel that we waited so long to do this work. As you see, we're glad we chose Bellows. Thanks!
