Signs you might want a softener
- White crust on shower heads, taps and glass doors
- Spots on dishes even after the dishwasher
- Frequent descaling of a tankless water heater
- Shampoo and dish soap that barely foam
How installation works
We plumb the softener in just past the meter and main valve, with a bypass loop for servicing. It needs a drain for its regeneration cycle and a power outlet. Often the outside hose bibs and the kitchen cold water are left unsoftened by design.
- Pick a location near the main and a drain.
- Install the bypass and softener.
- Connect the drain line with an air gap.
- Program the unit for your water and household.
Sizing for Brampton homes
Softeners are sized by hardness and water use. Peel water is moderately hard, so a properly sized unit regenerates less often and uses less salt. We help you pick a size that fits your family rather than the biggest one in the store.

Questions we get
Is softened water safe to drink?
It adds a little sodium. Many homes keep a separate unsoftened cold tap for drinking and cooking.
