What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a Water Softener Maintenance & Tune-Up?
A maintenance and tune-up visit is a focused checkup to keep your softener:
Operating efficiently
Regenerating correctly
Free of leaks, clogs, and simple problems
A tune-up typically includes:
Basic inspection of valves, control head, brine tank, and drain line
Checks for salt bridges, injector clogs, and improper settings
Minor cleaning and adjustments to improve reliability and performance
It’s a way to protect your investment and keep the system doing what it’s supposed to do—fight hard water.

Local, licensed, insured: Nevada License #0047021, serving the Las Vegas valley since 1991.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Notice any hard water signs returning—spots, soap not lathering, or rough-feeling water.
Glance at the salt level in your brine tank and note any solid “salt bridge” on top.
Look for small leaks or dampness around the unit, valves, and lines.
If you hear unusual noises or constant draining, make a note of when it happens.
Don’t start randomly changing advanced settings—that can make performance worse.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask for a water softener maintenance and tune-up; tell us how old the unit is and what you’re noticing (if anything).
Common Situations Where Softener Maintenance Helps
Your softener hasn’t been serviced in years, but still seems to “work.”
You notice mild hard water symptoms creeping back in between cycles.
You’ve recently moved into a home with an existing softener you don’t know much about.
The unit is 5+ years old, and you want to keep it going as long as practical.
You want a professional checkup before deciding on repairs or replacement.
System History & Visual Inspection
We ask about unit age, brand, and any recent issues, then inspect the softener, brine tank, valves, plumbing, and drain line for obvious problems, corrosion, or leaks.
Control, Settings & Cycle Check
We review hardness settings, regeneration schedule, and meter/timer operation to ensure the system is programmed appropriately for local water and household usage.
Brine System & Tank Check
We inspect the salt tank for bridges, mush, or clogged components, check floats and brine draws, and make minor cleaning/adjustments where needed.
Flow, Drain & Bypass Verification
We confirm proper water flow, test the bypass valve, and make sure the drain line is routed and functioning correctly so regeneration can complete without issues.
Basic Cleaning, Adjustments & Minor Corrections
We address small issues within the scope of a tune-up—like clearing minor injector clogs, adjusting valves, or correcting visible misconfigurations—to help stabilize performance.
Findings Review & Next-Step Recommendations
We explain what’s working, what was adjusted, and anything that may need future repair or replacement, giving you a clear picture of your softener’s health.
What’s Included
A typical water softener maintenance and tune-up may include:
Visual inspection of the softener, brine tank, and nearby plumbing
Review and basic optimization of settings and regeneration schedule
Check and light cleaning of brine system components and tank condition
Verification of flow, bypass operation, and drain routing
Minor tweaks or corrections to improve performance where feasible
Written or verbal summary of unit condition and any recommended repairs or upgrades
(If we discover larger issues—like failing valves, cracked tanks, or major component failures—we’ll explain additional repair or replacement options before doing more work.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Maintenance visit costs and timing depend on:
System age and condition: Older or neglected units may require more inspection and cleanup.
Accessibility: Easy garage/side yard installs are generally quicker than tight mechanical spaces.
Findings: If we find larger problems during tune-up, additional repairs are quoted separately.
Most tune-ups are completed in a single visit, and you’ll receive clear information on any further work we recommend.
Insurance & Claims Help
Water softener maintenance itself is not an insurance item—but sometimes, during tune-ups, we find leaks or damage that may already have affected walls, floors, or nearby equipment.
On the documentation side, we can:
Note any pre-existing leaks, failures, or corrosion discovered during the visit.
Provide itemized invoices detailing the maintenance performed and any urgent issues found.
Answer plumbing-related questions from your adjuster, property manager, or restoration contractor if water damage is involved.
Your insurance company and policy always decide what’s covered—we simply provide clear plumbing facts if they’re needed.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
A tune-up can’t fix everything:
Very old or failing systems: Maintenance won’t reverse worn-out resin, cracked tanks, or failing control heads.
Obsolete units: Some old models may not justify more than basic checkups before planning replacement.
Severe performance problems: If your softener isn’t working at all, you may need diagnostic/repair work beyond a simple tune-up.
Underlying plumbing issues: Poor pressure, bad drains, or other plumbing defects may require separate repairs.
We’ll be up front if maintenance alone won’t solve your problems and give you honest options for repair or replacement.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Licensed plumbing practices: All handling of valves, drains, and piping is done to Nevada code.
Softener-savvy technicians: We know what’s normal, borderline, or truly problematic on a softener.
Neat, safety-aware work: We keep the area orderly and pay attention to leaks and electrical proximity.
Plain-English explanations: We tell you what we saw, what we did, and what we recommend next in terms you can use.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a water softener be serviced?
A good rule of thumb is every 1–2 years, or sooner if you notice changes in performance, leaks, or odd behavior.
Is maintenance really necessary if the softener seems fine?
Regular tune-ups can catch issues early, adjust settings for changing usage, and help avoid surprise failures or leaks.
Will a tune-up fix hard water problems completely?
If the issue is settings, minor clogs, or maintenance-related, it may. If the problem is worn resin or failing hardware, repairs or replacement may be needed.
Do you need to re-bed resin during a tune-up?
Not usually. Re-bedding is a separate, deeper service when resin is worn. During a tune-up, we’ll tell you if resin replacement might be worth considering.
Can you service a softener you didn’t install?
Yes, we routinely maintain and tune up existing systems, whether we installed them or not, as long as they’re accessible and safe.
