Maintenance & Repair Services for Water Treatment Systems
For More Efficient, Longer-Lasting Water Conditioners, Softeners, or Filtration
Systems
Water treatment systems are all designed to give you better water. But like
all machinery, they can break down or wear out over time. From drinking water
that doesn't taste good or hard water that damages your appliances, a water
system that isn't working like it should can have a negative impact on your
quality of life. Our local dealers provide preventative maintenance, repair
and service to keep your water conditioner, water softener, or water
filtration system working safely and efficiently, reduce breakdowns, extend
the life of your system, and ensure that your family is never without
high-quality water. If your water systems aren't providing you with the
quality of water you need, contact WaterCare today.
Why is Water System Maintenance Important?
There are several reasons to perform routine maintenance of your water
treatment systems, but there are three primary benefits.
Safety: Hard water, bacteria, and excess minerals in your
water can all lead to potential health problems. Regular cleaning and annual
maintenance will ensure that you have clean, great-tasting water.
Efficiency: Too much salt or a clogged filter can lead to an
inefficient and ineffective water system. Proper maintenance and care can
ensure reliable and efficient operation.
Performance: Water treatment systems have parts that wear out
over time. Having your system inspected and serviced annually can reduce
breakdowns and ensure the highest quality water possible.
How Do You Maintain Water Treatment Systems?
Preventative Maintenance
Taking steps to maintain your water systems helps prevent bigger, more
expensive problems in the future and ensures optimal performance. Your local
WaterCare dealer can help ensure the longevity of your system and keep all
parts working optimally with preventative maintenance solutions.
Typical water treatment system maintenance process:
- Inspect water flow and adjust program settings if necessary
-
Check softener salt level and add more if necessary (salt delivery service
available in some areas)
- Check for salt bridging
- Check water hardness levels

Problem Diagnosis & Repairs
Is your water softener, conditioner, or filtration system malfunctioning?
WaterCare's skilled technicians can quickly diagnose and repair the problem.
If you've noticed that the quality of your water isn't the same or that your
water treatment system isn't functioning like it should, it could be time to
have your system inspected and repaired.
Signs of water system problems:
- Spots, stains, or film on dishes
- Mineral buildup on fixtures or appliances
- Dry skin or hair
- Foul odor coming from water
- Too much or not enough water in the brine tank
-
Sump pump continuously running or water constantly running down the drain
- Salt level in the brine tank isn't changing
- High-pitched squealing noise during the backwash process
-
Check salt alarm going off even though there is salt in the brine tank

Annual Maintenance by WaterCare
Full-service care by local water system experts
During an annual service appointment with your local WaterCare dealer, an
experienced technician will perform a
thorough 10-point inspection of your water treatment system,
which includes diagnostics, cleaning, adjusting program settings, and
servicing to ensure your equipment is working safely and efficiently. If any
problems are identified, your technician will review these issues with you and
discuss your options.
Cleaning: The wall of the brine tank is cleaned to remove
dirt and debris that can clog your water softener system and cause it to stop
working. Your technician will check for salt bridging and sanitize the system,
when needed.
Settings adjustments: Adjusting your system's valve settings
can save you money. For example, if you have a child that went away to
college, you might be using less water. When your child comes back home during
school breaks, you'll likely use more water. Having your water softener
serviced ensures your system's settings are optimized to meet your use.
Service & repair: Like all machinery, including your car
or home appliances, your water system has parts that wear out over time. If
you've noticed changes in your water quality over time or a sudden change in
its quality, this can indicate a faulty water softener, conditioner, or
filtration system. When your water treatment system stops working or isn't
working like it should, a WaterCare professional can provide maintenance and
service to help extend the life of your system and ensure that your family is
getting the highest quality water possible.
Water quality assessment: Changes in the taste, smell, or
color of your home's water could be signs of a water condition, softener, or
filter problem. WaterCare offers free in-home water tests to identify and
diagnose water issues in your home. For a free water test or water system
maintenance, find a WaterCare dealer in your area today.
