Yes, water softeners require routine maintenance to operate effectively, including salt refills and periodic system checks.
Most water softeners use salt to remove minerals from water. Homeowners need to monitor salt levels regularly and refill the brine tank as needed. In addition, systems should be checked periodically to ensure valves, controls, and regeneration cycles are functioning properly.
Without proper maintenance, a water softener may stop removing hardness effectively, even though it appears to be running.
Radiant helps homeowners maintain water softener systems so they continue protecting plumbing, appliances, and water quality year after year.
