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.

First and foremost I’m not a review writer… However the professionalism, honesty and integrity that Nick and Rich exemplified was stellar. I am extremely calculated and picky about who I let enter my home and can spot a bs artist a mile away. My boiler stopped working in the middle of the night and as a family man my whole world was upside down and couldn’t do anything until my heat was working again in this frigid weather and these guys were exactly what I needed they gave me my price upfront and never tried to price gouge me and moving forward as long as Nick and Rich are apart of Chivalry I’m not calling anyone else for all my plumbing needs 💯 and whoever the owner of this company is should be proud of how well they represent the company !

I’ve been having minor issues with my oil burner for a few weeks now so I called Chivalry on Monday 12/29. By 11:30 am Tuesday 12/30 they had a wonderful technician named Nick at my house. Nick was very professional, knowledgeable, honest, and did really nice job and clean work. I’d highly recommend Chivalry. From the initial phone call through the repair itself, this company was professional and made things really easy for me. Very reasonable rates as well. If you’re having heating or cooling problems, this is the company to call.

Right from when I called to make an appointment, everyone was a pleasure to speak too. Our technician Nick was on time, very knowledgeable and overall a great guy. He performed a yearly service for a tankless water heater as well looked over the system to make sure nothing was going to fail on us We would happily hire them to do it again. Highly recommend

    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.
