Is it time for a water softener? Most water softeners only last about 7-8 years.
Water softeners are a filter, and just like your oil filter in your car, your softener will eventually be unable to filter the water, and need to be changed. And not maintaining your softener, or not replacing it, can cause serious damage to all your faucets, water appliances (such as your washing machine or dishwasher) and even your house plumbing. Unfortunately this social media user had a very unfortunate outcome. They found some other problems as well, but maintaining the water softener could have prevented some of the expensive turn-of-events. If you have any questions about whether or not it's time for a new water softener, call Bob's Plumbing. He can give you some guidance when to replace it or not.
