What Changes When Your Water Actually Works
Your shower stops leaving that tight, filmy feeling on your skin. Your hair doesn’t feel like straw anymore. The white spots disappear from your dishes and fixtures without you scrubbing for twenty minutes.
You’ll use 75% less soap and detergent because soft water actually lathers. That’s not marketing talk – that’s what happens when minerals aren’t blocking the cleaning action. Your water heater, dishwasher, and washing machine last years longer because scale isn’t building up inside them.
Most Reddick homeowners don’t realize their water pressure is dropping until we test it. Those minerals narrow your pipes over time. A proper water softening system stops that damage before it turns into a replumbing job.
You’re not just getting softer water. You’re protecting a significant investment in your home and cutting your monthly costs on everything from soap to appliance repairs.
Water Softener System Experts Since 1970
Five Decades Solving Florida's Water Problems
We’ve been installing water treatment systems in Reddick and throughout Lake County for over fifty years. We’re A-rated with the Better Business Bureau with a five-star rating and zero complaints. That’s not luck – that’s what happens when you actually service what you sell.
We’re members of the National Water Quality Association, which means our installations meet industry standards that matter. We don’t do plumbing or water heaters. We do water treatment, and we do it right.
Reddick’s water comes from the Floridan aquifer, which pushes through limestone. That means your water typically ranges from 150 to 216 mg/l hardness – that’s hard to very hard. We’ve been dealing with this exact water chemistry for decades, so we know exactly what system your home needs based on your usage and local conditions.
Professional Water Softening System Installation Process
Here's What Actually Happens During Installation
We start with water testing to see exactly what we’re dealing with. Lake County water varies by area, and your specific hardness level determines the system size you need. We’re not selling you the biggest system we have – we’re sizing it for your household’s actual water usage.
Installation takes a day for most homes. We handle the plumbing connections to your main water line, set up the drainage for the regeneration cycle, and configure the salt system. If you have a twin tank system, we calibrate the alternating schedule so one tank is always working while the other regenerates. You never run out of soft water, even during high-usage times.
Before we leave, we test the system under load and train you on the simple maintenance. You’ll add salt every six to eight weeks for most households. The system regenerates automatically based on your water usage, not on a timer that wastes salt and water.
We give you a maintenance schedule and stay available for service. Your water quality matters after installation day, not just during the sale.

Water Treatment Service That Protects Your Investment
What's Included in Your Water Softener System
You get professional installation with complete calibration and testing. We don’t drop off equipment and leave – we make sure everything works correctly from day one. That includes all plumbing connections, electrical setup, and salt system configuration.
Your system is sized specifically for Reddick’s water conditions and your home’s usage patterns. A family of two doesn’t need the same capacity as a family of five. We calculate your peak demand and install accordingly.
We provide operation training so you understand what’s happening and what to watch for. You’ll know when to add salt, what the regeneration cycle sounds like, and how to spot any issues before they become problems.
Military and first responder families receive a $500 discount. We support the people who serve this community.
Service doesn’t end at installation. We provide ongoing support because water softener systems need occasional maintenance and repairs. When you call, you’re talking to the same people who installed your system – not a call center in another state.
How do I know if I actually need a water softening system in Reddick?
Look at your showerheads and faucet aerators. If you see white, chalky buildup, that’s limescale from hard water. Check your dishes after they dry – white spots mean minerals are being left behind.
Your skin and hair tell you a lot too. If your skin feels tight and itchy after showering, or your hair feels dry and tangled even with conditioner, hard water is the likely cause. The minerals prevent soap from rinsing clean, leaving a film on everything.
Water pressure dropping throughout your house is another sign. Minerals build up inside pipes over time, narrowing the passage and reducing flow. If you’ve noticed your shower pressure isn’t what it used to be, scale buildup might be the reason. Most Reddick homes have water hardness between 150 and 216 mg/l, which is considered hard to very hard, so you’re almost certainly dealing with this issue.
What's the difference between a single tank and twin tank water softener?
A single tank system regenerates on a schedule, usually at night. During regeneration, it’s not softening water – it’s cleaning itself. If you use water during that cycle, you get hard water until regeneration finishes.
Twin tank systems alternate between two tanks. One is always working while the other regenerates. You never experience hard water breakthrough, even if your teenager takes a forty-minute shower while the dishwasher and washing machine are running.
For most Reddick households, a twin tank system makes sense if you have high water usage, multiple bathrooms, or unpredictable schedules. Single tank systems work fine for smaller homes with consistent, predictable usage patterns. We size the system based on your peak demand, not just average use, because running out of soft water during your morning routine defeats the purpose of having the system.
How much maintenance does a water softener system actually require?
You’ll add salt every six to eight weeks for most households. The system tells you when the salt is low – you just pour it into the brine tank. That’s the main recurring task.
Once or twice a year, you should check the brine tank for salt bridges or buildup. A salt bridge is when a hard crust forms above the water line, preventing salt from dissolving properly. If you see one, break it up with a broom handle. Takes five minutes.
The system regenerates automatically based on water usage. You don’t need to program anything or adjust settings unless your household size changes significantly. If you notice a drop in water softness – that tight feeling coming back after showers, or spots returning to dishes – call for service. It usually means the resin bed needs cleaning or replacement, which happens every few years depending on your water quality and usage. We handle that during regular service visits.
Will a water softening system actually save me money or just add costs?
You’ll use 75% less soap, shampoo, detergent, and cleaning products because soft water lathers properly. Hard water prevents soap from dissolving and working effectively, so you use more to get the same results. That adds up fast across laundry detergent, dish soap, body wash, and household cleaners.
Your appliances last significantly longer. Water heaters are the big one – scale buildup makes them work harder and fail sooner. Dishwashers, washing machines, and any appliance that uses water benefits from not having minerals coating the internal components. Replacing a water heater costs a lot more than maintaining a water softener.
Energy costs drop because your water heater operates more efficiently without scale buildup acting as insulation between the heating element and the water. You’re heating water, not heating scale that’s heating water.
The system itself costs money upfront and requires salt regularly. But when you factor in soap savings, appliance longevity, and avoiding premature plumbing repairs from mineral buildup, most Reddick homeowners see a return within a few years. After that, it’s pure savings.
Can I install a water softener system myself or do I need professional installation?
You can technically install one yourself if you’re comfortable with plumbing, electrical connections, and drainage setup. But most DIY installations we’ve seen have problems – incorrect sizing, improper drainage causing backups, or regeneration cycles set wrong so the system wastes salt and water.
The bigger issue is sizing. If you buy a system that’s too small for your household’s peak demand, you’ll run out of soft water during high-usage times. Too large, and you’re wasting money on capacity you don’t need while the system regenerates inefficiently.
Professional installation includes water testing to determine your specific hardness level, calculating your household’s actual usage patterns, and sizing the system correctly for Reddick’s water conditions. We handle the plumbing connections to your main line, set up proper drainage, and calibrate the regeneration schedule based on your water consumption, not a generic factory setting.
You also get training on operation and maintenance, plus ongoing service support when something needs attention. When you install it yourself, you’re troubleshooting problems alone. Most homeowners find that professional installation pays for itself in avoided mistakes and proper system performance from day one.
