South Florida's extremely hard water (14–22 GPG) puts heavy demands on water softeners, leading to common issues like salt bridges, resin fouling, valve failures, and brine tank overflow. If you notice hard water returning — scale on fixtures, soap not lathering, or your system using more salt than usual — WaterLux can diagnose the issue same-day and complete most repairs in a single visit.
Symptoms That Need Repair
- Hard water is back — scale on faucets and shower doors despite having a softener
- Salt level not going down or salt bridge has formed in the brine tank
- System is using salt too quickly or regenerating too often
- Water pressure drop when the softener is in the bypass position
- Error codes on digital valve heads or timer not advancing
- Leaking from the valve head, brine tank, or plumbing connections
Repair vs Replacement
If your softener is under 10 years old, repair is usually the better value — most issues are valve or resin problems costing $150–$900 to fix. Systems over 15 years old or those needing $1,000+ in repairs are typically better replaced with a modern, efficient unit starting at $1,375 installed. WaterLux always gives you an honest assessment with both options and pricing.
