Water Softener Installation: Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We’ve got answers. Here are some of the most common questions we receive from homeowners.
How hard is the water in the Bay Area, Sacramento, and Central Valley?
Water hardness varies significantly by location, but much of Northern California – particularly the Central Valley and parts of the Bay Area – experiences moderately to very hard water, often ranging from 10–30+ GPG depending on the water source.
Cities that draw from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, local reservoirs, or groundwater wells tend to have varying hardness levels. In some parts of the Central Valley, groundwater can be extremely hard due to the mineral-rich soil and rock formations in the region.
A local water test is the best way to determine exactly how hard your water is and what treatment solution is best suited for your area.
What’s the difference between a water softener and a water filter?
A water softener specifically targets hardness minerals – calcium and magnesium – through a process called ion exchange, and it’s highly effective at preventing scale buildup and its associated problems. A water filter, on the other hand, removes a broader range of contaminants like chlorine, chloramines, sediment, heavy metals, bacteria, and chemicals that affect taste and safety.
The two systems serve different but complementary purposes, and many homeowners benefit significantly from using both together. A comprehensive water treatment plan that includes both softening and filtration addresses the full spectrum of water quality concerns most households face.
What is a water conditioner?
A water conditioner is a broader term that refers to systems designed to treat water for various issues – including hardness, chlorine, odor, and other contaminants – sometimes using methods other than traditional ion exchange. Some conditioners use template-assisted crystallization (TAC) or electromagnetic technology to alter how minerals behave in water, rather than removing them entirely.
Advanced systems are available that combine both softening and conditioning capabilities in a single, efficient unit. It’s important to understand exactly what a system does and what it doesn’t do when evaluating water treatment options for your home.
Do water softeners filter drinking water?
Standard whole-home water softeners are designed to treat water for hardness – they are not intended to remove all drinking water contaminants such as chlorine, chloramines, nitrates, lead, or bacteria. While softened water is cleaner in terms of mineral content, it still passes through municipal treatment processes that may leave behind chemicals and other substances.
A dedicated drinking water system, such as a reverse osmosis (RO) unit installed under your kitchen sink, is strongly recommended for the cleanest, safest drinking and cooking water. Many homeowners pair a whole-home softener with an under-sink RO system for a complete, layered approach to water quality.
