5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Old Water Softener

22 Jul 5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Old Water Softener

Many homes in Southern Idaho have had water softeners for years—but how do you know when it’s time to repair or replace your unit?

If you live in Rupert, Jerome, or Wendell and you’re noticing problems, don’t ignore the signs.

Here are 5 signs your water softener may need to be replaced:

1. Your water feels hard again. Soap doesn’t lather and your skin feels dry? The resin bed might be shot.

2. You’re constantly refilling salt. If the salt doesn’t seem to last, the softener may be regenerating too often.

3. Your system is 10+ years old. Most units lose efficiency after a decade, especially without regular maintenance.

4. You hear strange noises. Clunking, grinding, or gurgling are signs of internal wear.

5. Water spots are returning. Cloudy dishes or scale on faucets mean the system isn’t removing minerals properly.
