Trouble With Hard Water? These Warning Signs Say It’s Time to Call Us
If your softener isn’t working right, you’ll feel it in your showers, see it on your dishes, and notice it in your plumbing. Many San Diego homeowners live with hard water symptoms without realizing their softener is struggling. Recognizing the early signs of a problem can save you from bigger (and costlier) water softener repair issues down the road.
- Scale Buildup on Faucets & Fixtures: Crusty white buildup around your faucets, showerheads, and drains? That’s hard water minerals accumulating and potentially overwhelming your softener.
- Ineffective Soaps & Detergents: Struggling with squeaky-clean dishes or soft laundry? Hard water can render your detergents ineffective, leaving clothes stiff and spots on dishes.
- Dry Skin & Damaged Hair: If your clothes, skin, or hair feel coarse after washing, minerals in your water are to blame. Your softener needs attention.
- Low Water Pressure or Flow Issues: Clogged resin or calcium deposits can restrict flow, leading to weak showers or slow-filling sinks.
- Salt Bridges in the Brine Tank: Notice a solid layer of salt in your softener’s brine tank? That “bridge” prevents the system from regenerating properly—time for a tech to intervene.
If any of these signs sound familiar, don’t wait. A quick water softener repair now can restore your system’s performance, protect your appliances, and bring soft water comfort back into your home. And with JG Water Heaters, Filtration and Plumbing, you’re never left guessing; we’re here to help you fix it fast, with honesty and care.
Comprehensive Water Softener Repairs—We Fix It All
No matter what’s going wrong with your water softener, JG Water Heaters, Filtration and Plumbing has the experience, tools, and local know-how to get it working like new. From minor annoyances to complete system shutdowns, we handle every type of water softener repair.
Not all system problems mean it’s time for a new water softener installation. Here’s a closer look at the common issues we fix—and how we fix them.
Salt Bridge Removal
Salt bridges form when salt hardens in a solid layer inside your brine tank, preventing proper regeneration. If your softener’s not using salt but still running, this could be the culprit. We safely break up the hardened layer, remove any debris, and reset your brine levels so the system can regenerate correctly.
Valve & Timer Repair or Replacement
Your control valve and timer regulate how and when your water softener cycles. If your system is stuck in regeneration, skipping cycles, or not softening at all, the valve or timer could be failing. We diagnose mechanical and electronic issues, repair what’s fixable, and replace components when needed to restore full function.
Resin Tank Cleaning or Reconditioning
Over time, resin beads inside your softener lose efficiency due to heavy mineral buildup, chlorine exposure, or bacterial growth. We flush the resin tank thoroughly, sanitize it as needed, and replace worn-out resin media to restore your system’s softening capacity.
Leak Detection & Calibration Testing
Even small leaks can lead to big problems over time. We inspect all system connections, tanks, and valves for signs of leakage. Once repairs are complete, we test for proper flow and calibrate the system to ensure it regenerates based on San Diego’s specific water hardness so you’re not wasting salt, water, or money.
Electrical & Sensor Issues
If your water softener won’t turn on or it behaves erratically, faulty sensors, wiring, or circuit boards may be to blame. Our technicians are trained to troubleshoot electrical issues quickly, replacing damaged components and reprogramming your system settings with care.
Low Water Pressure or Clogging
Resin beads or mineral buildup can clog water lines, leading to weak water pressure. We’ll trace the issue, clear any blockages, and restore proper flow without damaging your plumbing or fixtures.
Stuck Regeneration Cycles
A softener that’s constantly regenerating or never regenerating at all can waste resources and deliver poor results. We’ll evaluate control settings, inspect the timer or digital interface, and reset the system to function properly—no more endless cycling or inconsistent softening.
When something feels “off” with your water, we help you get to the bottom of it—and fix it right. Whether your issue is common or complicated, we’ve seen it, solved it, and stand behind our work. And unlike some companies, we’ll never push you toward an expensive water softener replacement if a solid repair can restore your system’s performance.
What Our Customers Say
Here are just a few of the great things our clients have said about us.
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.
