A properly maintained water softener typically lasts 10 to 15 years.
System lifespan depends on water quality, usage, maintenance, and the quality of the original installation. Harder water and heavier household use can increase wear on components over time.
As systems age, homeowners may notice reduced performance, more frequent regeneration, or difficulty maintaining consistent soft water.
Radiant helps homeowners in Austin and San Antonio evaluate aging water softeners and decide whether maintenance, repair, or replacement makes the most sense.
