Water Softeners

Massapequa Water Softeners

Hard water can be tough on your plumbing system, laundry, and even your hair.

Thankfully there is an easy fix for hard water, and our expert plumbers at Chivalry Plumbing, Heating & Cooling can assist you with it. We install and maintain water softener systems throughout Massapequa, NY, and the surrounding areas that eliminate magnesium and calcium, the minerals found in hard water.

We are a full-service plumbing company that maintains, repairs, and installs plumbing fixtures, pipes, drains, sewer lines, and water softening and filtering systems. Our team of expert plumbers at Chivalry Plumbing, Heating & Cooling is available for emergency repairs, clog removal, and drain cleaning.

Problems With Hard Water

High levels of calcium and magnesium in your water can build up and leave limescale deposits on your plumbing fixtures, pipes, and appliances, shortening their life span and interfering with water pressure, and causing blockages.

Soap does not lather well in hard water and leaves scum on fixtures, shower doors, and sinks. Hard water may leave stains on glassware and dishes and leave laundry looking dingy and feeling stiff.

That hard water soap scum can irritate sensitive skin, making it feel dry and itchy.

Benefits of Installing a Whole-House Water Softener System

At Chivalry Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, we always aim to recommend products and services that benefit your household. Here are a few advantages of using a water softener:

  • Appliances, such as your water heater, will be less prone to limescale buildup and last longer.
  • Glassware and dishes will look cleaner without hard water stains, and laundry will be brighter.
  • Soap scum on bathroom and kitchen surfaces will be a thing of the past.
  • Blocked pipes from limescale buildup will be less likely.
  • Your skin may feel and look better after bathing with softened water.

You can count on our team to correctly install your water softening system so that you enjoy the most value from it. At Chivalry Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, we offer convenient financing options to help you purchase your plumbing system.

How Does a Water Softener Work?

The typical water softener replaces calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions. As water enters the water softener’s main tank, it passes through resin beads that have absorbed sodium.

The calcium and magnesium in the water are positively charged and attracted to the negatively charged resin. They cling to the beads while the softened water leaves the tank for distribution through your New York home’s plumbing system.

The system must be cleaned every few days with salt water to recharge the resin beads and remove the mineral deposits. A separate tank holds salty water for the cleaning and recharging process, and connects to the main softening tank. A valve controls the amount of water used during cleaning and recharging.

The sodium tank typically can be refilled with salt pellets. Some softening systems use potassium rather than salt.

I just had Rick, and Nick coming to check my heating system. They were very thoroughly checking my radiators ,boiler, and thermostat, to see why some of my rooms were cold. They explained to me how the heating system work in my old house. They were very useful, and for sure I will recommend this company for being honest-efficient with their work performance. Thanks !!

I called Chivalry on a reference and was not disappointed. Nick was able to address and fix an issue I’d been having for over a year with my radiant heat. I had 2 other plumbing companies come in prior and the problem continued. Nick took the time to test thoroughly, ask the right questions and even reach out to a colleague to ensure he got to the root cause. Nick also took the time to answer questions and make suggestions on other things not related to my main issue. He was extremely professional throughout. I would absolutely use Chivalry and Nick again.

We were having on and off again issues with our boiler. It finally went out on us. We called and they sent Nick and his associate on the same day. A lot of companies don’t even touch oil burners. Nick did a thorough tune-up, and replaced some aging parts. Everything is up and running again. 🙏🏽

    Water Softeners Versus Water Conditioners

    You may have heard about salt-free alternatives to water softeners called water conditioners. Water conditioners make the minerals less abrasive but do not remove them all.

    Although water conditioners can significantly improve your water, scaling still is possible.

    If you want to eliminate calcium and magnesium from your water, we recommend installing a water softener.

    Some homeowners are interested in water conditioners because they require less maintenance than water softeners. If maintenance is your concern, let our qualified pros at Chivalry Plumbing, Heating & Cooling handle the work for you. We can install and maintain your system while you enjoy softened water in your home.
