Common Water Softener Questions in Oakland County

Hard water is water that is high in minerals like calcium, magnesium, and carbonate. It can happen with both city and well water, and takes a huge toll on your home, clogging up your appliances, creating spotty dishes, leaving your skin dry and your clothes dull and scratchy. Softeners remove unwanted contaminants before your water even travels through your pipes, into your water-using appliances, or before you switch on the taps of your bathrooms and kitchen. Giving you softened, mineral-free water to every room in your home. Contact us for a free estimate on a new water softener for your home or business!

Most municipalities don’t soften water in a central location before providing it to your home. This unsoftened water can cause a buildup of minerals, also called “scale” and can harm the efficiency and lifetime of your water-using appliances and fixtures. Even if your municipality is using surface water, reservoirs, or lake water you may need a softener to help reduce the buildup of minerals in your home. Your local water pro will be able to test and verify if you’ll need a softener to reduce or remove extra minerals from your water supply.

Softening water involves something called “ion exchange” to remove dissolved minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese—particles that can’t be trapped in a filter bed. To remove these particles, softening systems contain hundreds of resin beads charged with sodium. As water enters the tank, dissolved calcium and magnesium are attracted to the resin, forcing the resin to exchange its sodium for the dissolved chemicals, and freeing the water of impurities. Filtering water removes impurities using either physical barriers, chemical processes, or biological processes. Each method cleanses water to a varying degree to suit specific water uses like drinking water, irrigation, aquariums, ponds, and swimming pools. Your local Hellenbrand water pro can help determine the best solution for your specific water profile and application.

In addition to a whole home water softener, we highly reccomend an under-the-counter Reverse Osmosis System. Made here in the USA, American Aqua’s high quality Reverse Osmosis systems offer the best drinking water for your home. Our Reverse Osmosis drinking water systems can also to connect to your ice machines to provide you with perfectly clean ice. Our ROs are compact and can easily fit under any counter and the filters are affordable and only need to be changed once per year.

As local water treatment experts since 1975, we have the certifications to show for it.

Reviews

“Water Specialist Mike M. came to our house near Grayling and was wonderful. His thoroughness in diagnosing our issues and testing our water and then laying out the solutions was outstanding. I highly recommend Mike and American Aqua. I’m very pleased. Thank you Mike!”

– Joe H

“Amazing water. Best in the tri County area. Don’t get water anywhere else. Do you value your health and your life? Drink PWW high quality H20 only! “

– Terry M.

“Adam showed as promised in the time window American Aqua had indicated. These two guys were AWESOME. They drained both of our water heaters to ensure there was no lingering bacteria causing the sulfur smell. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement. Many thanks to their efforts! We no longer have issues with the water taste, smell and have white clothes that are still white after washing. I cannot recommend this company enough. If you are in need of a quality solution to an existing water issue, these are your guys.”

– Jim S.

“Sean came over to walk us through all we need to know about our new softener, but went above and beyond to teach us so much more about the overall water system in our home. We are new homeowners here and Sean gave us so much valuable info. and we are incredibly thankful for his time and knowledge. Thank you Sean, you’re so good at what you do!”

– Gayla W.

“Adam installed our new water system today and he was OUTSTANDING!! He went above and beyond to make sure that he placed the system in the perfect location, even though it meant more work for him. He stayed overtime and was friendly and professional!! We are beyond excited to finally enjoy our water and get rid of the rust!!! Thank you Adam!!”

– Cara

“Bill and his staff exceeded our expectations in the purchase of our replacement water softener. Water quality is far superior to what we had with another brand; we could taste and feel the difference immediately. Mike was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond in the installation and setup process. Would highly recommend!”
