Newmarket's municipal water is hard enough to scale water heaters and fixtures. We are a licensed plumbing company, not a water store: we test, size, install and service your water softener, and we stand behind the plumbing.
White scale on faucets, shower glass and the kettle. Soap that will not lather and skin that feels dry after a shower. A water heater that rumbles, runs out sooner than it used to or dies years early. Spotted dishes and stiff laundry. Every appliance that heats water in Newmarket is building scale from day one, and softening is what stops it.
Newmarket runs on municipal water that is hard by nature. If your home is on a private well outside town, see water softener installation in Holland Landing or water softener installation in East Gwillimbury, where iron often has to be treated before the softener.
In most Newmarket houses the softener goes in the basement mechanical room, close to where the main water line comes in and near the water heater, a floor drain and a power outlet. In a finished basement that room can be a tight closet, so we check there is space for the brine tank and a bypass before we write up the price. Putting the softener ahead of the water heater is the point: Newmarket's hard municipal water leaves scale inside the tank, which is what makes a heater rumble, recover slowly and wear out early, and softened water stops that build-up.
We install metered, demand-regenerating softeners sized to your household, under-sink reverse osmosis for drinking water, and iron, sulphur and UV treatment for well homes, with the bypass, drain and connections done to the Ontario Building Code.
Hard water is not a Newmarket quirk. It is the default. A softener sized to the house and installed to code protects every appliance that heats water.
Straightforward, no-surprise service from the first call to the final test.
We test your water at the visit: hardness and iron, plus sulphur and pH on wells, with a plain explanation of the numbers.
An undersized unit on hard Newmarket water regenerates too often and runs through salt, so we size to the tested hardness and the number of people in the house, and on wells we add the iron load to the calculation.
We install the bypass, the brine line and a drain with an air gap, plus an iron filter ahead of the softener on a private well when the test shows iron, so iron does not foul the resin.
We program the softener for your tested hardness and household, show you how and when to add salt, verify soft water at the tap and leave the manual and our number.
Soap lathers fully and rinses clean off skin, dishes and laundry, instead of leaving the dull film hard water causes.
Shower glass, taps and the kettle stop collecting new white scale, so the fixtures you already have stay easier to keep clean.
The brine tank needs salt topped up from time to time, and the softener regenerates on its own overnight once the meter calls for it.
We service what we install, so a check-up or repair call goes to the same plumbers who set your softener up.
