Las Vegas water is among the hardest in the country-about 16 grains from SNWA sources. A whole-home ion-exchange softener removes calcium and magnesium, protects pipes and appliances, and improves skin and laundry. We size from a water test, install bypass, drain, and brine tank, and plumb it to code. Valley homes face accelerated scale buildup inside water heaters, dishwashers, and supply lines because the Colorado River water delivered from Lake Mead is mineral-dense.
A proper drain connection and a bypass valve matter on every softener install-details we handle on every job. We install Fleck 5600SXT and Clack WS1 control valves paired to correctly sized resin tanks based on household demand. Hard water also strains your water heater; pairing softener installation with Tank Water Heater Installation extends equipment life significantly. Scale-clogged drains are a related concern-our Drain Cleaning service clears mineral deposits before or after softener installation.
We serve Henderson, North Las Vegas, and surrounding communities with the same attention to local conditions. Older housing stock throughout the valley often has outdated copper or galvanized lines that benefit most from softened water.
