Water Softener Installation for St. Louis Homes and Facilities

Q: How do I know if I need a water softener?

Mineral-heavy water in the St. Louis area leaves signs like white buildup on fixtures, spots on dishes, reduced water pressure, and dry skin. A free hardness test confirms exactly how much calcium and magnesium is in your water.

Q: Does a water softener remove PFAS or lead?

No. Water softeners remove hardness minerals only. PFAS, lead, and other chemical contaminants require reverse osmosis or specialized filtration systems.

Q: Can I combine a water softener with dechlorination?

Yes. Many properties install integrated systems that remove both hardness minerals and chlorine. Dechlorination protects the softener from chlorine damage while treating both issues in one system.

Q: How long does a water softener last?

Kinetico water softeners commonly operate for 20+ years with basic maintenance. Their non-electric design reduces failure points and extends overall lifespan.

St. Louis water runs through limestone. That means calcium and magnesium in every tap – minerals that build scale inside your pipes, coat your water heater, and leave soap scum that won’t rinse clean. We install Kinetico softeners that remove these minerals before they reach your plumbing.

What a Water Softener Does for Hard St. Louis Water

Water softeners remove calcium and magnesium before they reach your building’s plumbing and equipment. These minerals create scale inside boilers, water heaters, dish machines, and any system that relies on clean water flow. Over time, that scale slows production, increases maintenance costs, and shortens equipment life.

Your water runs through resin media that captures the minerals before they move through your facility. Softened water feeds every connected line and process. The system regenerates automatically based on actual demand, keeping performance consistent without adding work for your staff.

How Hard Water Damages Plumbing and Equipment

Hard water puts strain on plumbing systems, fixtures, and equipment in homes and facilities across St. Louis. Mineral scale builds quietly, driving up energy use, slowing performance, and creating problems that show up long before anyone sees the cause.

Shorter equipment lifespan

Scale builds on heating elements, pumps, and internal components, forcing systems to work harder and wear out sooner.

Higher energy use

Mineral deposits act as insulation, slowing heat transfer and increasing utility costs.

Flow restrictions

Build-up in pipes and valves reduces water flow and affects performance across fixtures and equipment.

More cleaning and maintenance

Scale and residue collect on surfaces, faucets, and equipment, increasing cleaning time and labor.

Skin and hair irritation

Minerals stay on your skin and hair after washing. Soap residue won’t rinse off, leaving you dry and irritated.

How We Install Your Kinetico Water Softening System

We test your water, select the right Kinetico system for your building, and handle the full setup so you get softened water without disrupting your day. Every step is done on-site and explained before we leave.

1. Test your water

We measure hardness, pH, and other factors on-site. It takes about 15–20 minutes, and you see the results right away.

2. Recommend a system

We walk you through the test results and match them with the Kinetico softener that fits your property’s water demand. You get clear guidance on system size, performance, and pricing before anything moves forward.

3. Install

We connect the system to your main water line, set the bypass, prepare the brine tank, and program the unit based on your actual usage patterns.

4. Test and explain

We verify everything is running correctly, show you how to add salt when needed, and make sure all your questions are answered before we wrap up.

Solutions for Chlorine, PFAS, and Lead in St. Louis Water

Softening handles minerals, but St. Louis water often carries chlorine, PFAS, lead, and dissolved contaminants that need deeper treatment. Reverse osmosis cleans the water you drink and cook with, while dechlorination removes chlorine across every tap and fixture.

Common Questions About Water Softeners in St. Louis

Hard water in St. Louis creates the same problems for houses, offices, and equipment-heavy facilities, and people often ask similar questions before choosing a softener.

How do I know if I need a water softener?

Mineral-heavy water in St. Louis leaves signs like white buildup on fixtures, spots on dishes, reduced water pressure, and dry skin. A free hardness test confirms exactly how much calcium and magnesium is in your supply.

Does a water softener remove PFAS or lead?

No. Softeners remove hardness minerals. PFAS, lead, and chemical contaminants require reverse osmosis for proper filtration.

Can I combine a water softener with dechlorination?

Yes. Many St. Louis properties install integrated systems that remove both hardness minerals and chlorine. Dechlorination protects the softener from chlorine damage while treating both issues in one setup. We test your water and recommend whether standalone softening or an integrated system makes more sense.

How often will I need to add salt?

Most properties need salt every 4–8 weeks. Kinetico systems regenerate on demand—so they use less salt and adapt to real usage instead of running on a timer.

How long does a water softener last?

Kinetico softeners routinely run 20+ years with basic care. The non-electric design reduces failure points and extends lifespan.
