Hard water contains high amounts of calcium and magnesium, which causes lime scaling in your pipes, clogs water heaters, ruins dishwashers, makes soap difficult to lather, and leaves skin dry and hair brittle. Powerhouse Plumbing & Heating installs high-efficiency water softeners that remove these minerals, protecting your plumbing appliances and improving your water quality.

Water Softener Installation Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our water softener installation service in Calgary and Airdrie.
Our water is sourced from the Bow and Elbow Rivers, which flow through limestone-rich mountain areas. Water dissolves these minerals, bringing hard calcium and magnesium ions into our household supply.
No. Softened water contains small amounts of sodium, which is not ideal for plants or gas. We always bypass outdoor garden taps during plumbing installation.
Most modern water softeners require salt refills every 1 to 2 months, depending on your household's water usage and the system's size. We'll show you how to check this.
