Clear Signs It’s Time for Water Heater Replacement
Not sure if your water softener is still doing its job? Many San Diego homeowners live with the effects of hard water without realizing the root cause is a failing or outdated system. Here’s what to look out for:
Spots on Dishes and Glassware
If your once-clear glasses come out of the dishwasher looking cloudy or spotted, that’s a classic sign your softener isn’t removing minerals effectively.
Soap That Doesn’t Lather Well
Hard water makes it tough for soaps and shampoos to foam properly. If it feels like you’re using twice as much to get clean, your softener may not be working.
White, Chalky Buildup Around Faucets or Showerheads
That crusty residue? It’s mineral scale—usually calcium—and it means hard water is flowing untreated through your pipes and fixtures.
Dry Skin and Dull Hair
Hard water strips natural oils, leaving skin dry and hair rough or limp. If your daily routine suddenly feels off, your softener could be to blame.
Stiff or Scratchy Laundry
When soft water is replaced with hard water, fabrics lose softness fast. If your towels feel like sandpaper, it might be time for a replacement.
Your Softener Is 10+ Years Old
Most systems last around a decade—longer if well maintained, shorter if not. If yours is getting up there in age, performance may already be declining.
Low Water Pressure or Flow Issues
Mineral buildup inside pipes can restrict water flow. A failing softener won’t prevent that scaling, which can eventually impact your entire plumbing system.
Frequent Leaks or Service Calls
If you’ve had to repair your softener more than once, or if it’s started leaking, replacing it is usually the smarter long-term investment.
If you’re seeing one or more of these signs, reach out to JG Water Heaters, Filtration and Plumbing. We’ll take a look, explain what’s going on, and walk you through the best options, whether it’s a water softener repair or a water softener replacement.
Why Your San Diego Home Needs a Reliable Water Softener
San Diego’s municipal water supply is known for having high mineral content—specifically calcium and magnesium. While not harmful to drink, hard water can do a number on your plumbing, appliances, and even your comfort.
An efficient water softener removes those minerals before they reach your pipes, meaning:
- Fewer plumbing issues over time
- Better performance from dishwashers and washing machines
- Less soap scum and residue
- Softer skin, cleaner hair, and brighter laundry
But an outdated or broken water softener? That’s just another appliance draining your energy bill without doing its job. When you're ready to upgrade with a new water softener installation, JG Water Heaters, Filtration and Plumbing makes the process simple, fast, and stress-free.

Excellent service with a level of honesty and integrity we have not experienced with other companies. Very impressed and grateful. When it DOES come time for us to replace our water heater, we will use JG.
Neighbor was having water heater installed, and we had been researching and getting bids/reviews. The installation Technician (Christian) gave us a bid, and told us they recommended, Bradford White. We asked how soon they could install a 50-gallon unit, and to our surprise he had one on his van. He installed the water heater, and replaced all ball valves for shut-offs. Very happy with the price, efficiency and quality of the work performed. Friendly and professional!
I called JG Water Heaters the morning after my 75 gallon gas water heater started leaking. Gregg came out right away and by 5pm his 3-man crew had installed a new tankless one along with all additional per-code gas line and new exhaust. They also changed out the old, faulty water pressure regulator that probably contributed to the leak. Great team. 120% great workmanship, supported by excellent leadership and infrastructure. Pretty perfect. Very highly recommended.
