Questions We Hear Most

Do I really need a water softener?Gary2026-10-10T14:08:41+00:00

Do I really need a water softener?

Not always. Signs of hard water include white scale, spotty dishes, soap that won’t lather, and dry skin or hair. Halifax’s lake-fed city water is often softer than well water, while many Nova Scotia wells are hard. A free water test tells you for sure.

How do I choose the right size?Gary2026-10-10T14:08:42+00:00

How do I choose the right size?

Size depends on your water’s hardness, your number of bathrooms and how many people live in the home. We work it out from your free water test, so you don’t have to guess.

Is installation included?Gary2026-10-10T14:08:43+00:00

Is installation included?

Yes. Every system is installed by our own local team, and your quote includes standard installation. If your home needs extra plumbing work, we’ll explain it and include it in the quote before we start.

Salt-based or salt-free — what’s the difference?Gary2026-10-10T14:08:44+00:00

Salt-based or salt-free — what’s the difference?

Salt-based softeners remove hardness minerals for true soft water. Salt-free conditioners change minerals so they’re less likely to form scale, but don’t remove them. Salt-free needs less upkeep, but the water won’t feel soft. We’ll help you decide which suits you.
