What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a High-Efficiency (Low Salt / High Capacity) Water Softener?
A high-efficiency water softener is designed to soften water more intelligently and efficiently than older, timer-based units. Typically, it:
Uses metered or demand-initiated regeneration (regenerates based on actual water use, not just a clock).
Is sized for higher capacity, so it can handle larger families or heavier use without constant regeneration.
Uses optimized brining and regeneration cycles to help reduce salt and water waste.
Still provides all the benefits of soft water—less scale, easier cleaning, and better-feeling showers—with a more efficient operating profile.
Installed on the main cold-water line before the water heater, it treats water for the entire home.

Local & trusted: Nevada License #0047021, serving Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Summerlin since 1991.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Notice how often you’re buying salt or regenerating the current system.
Look at spots on fixtures, glass, and dishes—especially if your existing softener is struggling.
Think about how many people live in your home and peak water usage times (mornings, evenings, weekends).
Take a few photos of your current water heater/main line area where a softener would likely go.
Decide if you want softening only, or to discuss added filtration at the same time.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask about high-efficiency water softener installation (low salt/high capacity); share your house size, number of bathrooms, and whether you have an old softener now.
Common Situations Where High-Efficiency Softeners Make Sense
You have a large household or frequent guests and use a lot of water daily.
Your current softener regenerates too often, uses a ton of salt, or still leaves water feeling hard.
You’re tired of hauling heavy salt bags constantly or dealing with salt bridges.
You’re upgrading or remodeling and want a modern, efficient system instead of an old-style timer unit.
You care about reducing waste and improving efficiency, but still need strong hard water protection.
Home Evaluation & Efficiency Goals
We review your house size, number of occupants, and typical water use, then inspect your main water entry and water heater area. We discuss your goals for efficiency, salt use, and performance.
System Recommendation & Placement Plan
Based on your needs, we recommend a high-efficiency, metered softener with appropriate capacity. We plan connection points, bypass configuration, drain routing, and brine tank placement to keep the system effective and serviceable.
Plumbing Tie-In & Bypass Setup
We safely shut off the water, cut into the main supply line, and install the valving and bypass assembly so your softener can be isolated for service while still allowing water to the house if needed.
Softener & Brine Tank Installation
We place the softener and brine tank, connect inlet and outlet piping, and route a drain line to an approved discharge point—following code and manufacturer guidelines for high-efficiency units.
Programming for Efficiency & Testing
We start up the system, set efficiency-focused programming (hardness, capacity, regeneration strategy), and verify proper flow, regeneration operation, and leak-free connections.
Homeowner Walkthrough & Efficiency Tips
We show you how to use the bypass, check salt levels, and understand basic display or status indicators. We also share tips on maximizing efficiency, like how usage patterns can affect regeneration.
What’s Included
A typical high-efficiency water softener installation (low salt/high capacity) may include:
On-site evaluation of plumbing layout and efficiency goals
Recommendation of a properly sized high-efficiency system
Cut-in and tie-in to the main water line with a bypass assembly
Drain and brine line connections installed to code and manufacturer specs
Startup, programming, and full system testing for performance and leaks
Customer walkthrough on operation, basic settings, and salt/efficiency care
(Exact scope depends on existing plumbing, access, and the type of system selected.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Total cost depends on:
System size and features: Higher-capacity, more advanced units cost more than basic models.
Existing plumbing conditions: Easy, clean tie-in vs corroded, crowded, or hard-to-access setups.
Location & accessibility: Garage, side yard, or tight interior mechanical areas.
Optional add-ons: Pre-filters, additional shutoffs, or combined treatment systems.
We’ll provide a clear written estimate before work begins and explain what’s included vs optional, along with a realistic timeline (most standard installs are same-day once work starts).
Insurance & Claims Help
High-efficiency water softener installation is typically a planned upgrade, not an insurance-covered item—but sometimes leaks or failures around the old system can trigger a claim.
On the plumbing side, we can:
Document pre-existing issues we see (leaking valves, corrosion, damaged lines).
Provide itemized invoices and estimates that clearly show what was replaced, repaired, or upgraded.
Answer plumbing-related questions from your adjuster, property manager, or restoration contractor if water damage was involved.
Your insurance company and policy always decide what’s covered; our role is to provide accurate plumbing facts and documentation to support that process.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Even a great high-efficiency softener has limits:
It doesn’t replace all water filtration—you may still want sediment or carbon filters for other water quality issues.
It won’t undo existing heavy scale in older piping or appliances, though it can help slow further buildup.
Extremely limited space or unusual layouts may require additional re-piping or creative placement.
Some homeowners prefer unsoftened water for specific lines (like hose bibs)—we can discuss options but it may require extra plumbing.
We’ll be straightforward about what a high-efficiency softener will do for you, and where other upgrades or services may make sense.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Proper, code-compliant installation: All tie-ins, drains, and brine lines installed per Nevada plumbing code and manufacturer requirements.
Quality components: We use reliable valves, fittings, and supports to ensure long-term performance and serviceability.
Service-friendly layout: Equipment is placed and piped with future maintenance and access in mind.
Clear instructions: Before we leave, you’ll know how to check salt, use bypass, and read basic system indicators.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a high-efficiency softener different from a regular one?
High-efficiency systems typically use metered/demand-based regeneration and optimized brining, which can reduce salt and water use compared to older timer-based units.
Will a high-efficiency system still give me strong soft water?
Yes. When properly sized and programmed, you still get full softening benefits with less waste.
Can you upgrade my existing softener or do I need a full replacement?
Sometimes we can adjust settings, but older or basic units may not support true high-efficiency operation, making replacement the better long-term option.
Where will the new softener go?
Usually in the same general area as your main water entry/water heater—garage, side yard, or mechanical room—unless we agree there’s a better location.
Will my water be off all day?
Typically water is off only during the tie-in and changeover. Most standard installations are completed the same day.
