What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Water Softener Re-Bed (Resin Replacement)?
Inside a typical water softener tank is resin media that captures hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium. Over time, resin can:
Become worn, fouled, or coated by iron, sediment, or high chlorine levels
Lose capacity so you run out of soft water sooner, even if cycles look normal
Cause increasing hard water symptoms in the home
A re-bed (resin replacement) involves:
Removing old resin and any media from the tank
Inspecting, cleaning, and prepping the tank and internals
Refilling with fresh, appropriate resin media
Putting the system back into service and reprogramming/checking settings
It can be a good middle-ground when controls and tank are still solid, but the resin is past its useful life.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
We know when re-bed makes sense: We evaluate whether your valves, tank, and controls justify resin replacement—or if full replacement is smarter.
Careful handling of tanks & media: We protect your plumbing and surrounding area while draining, opening, and refilling the tank.
Local water knowledge: We size and set things up for Las Vegas hardness and usage patterns.
Licensed & insured plumbers: Nevada License #0047021, trusted across the Las Vegas valley since 1991.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Note how old your softener is and when it last worked really well.
Watch for hard water symptoms (spots, dull laundry, scale) even though the unit seems to regenerate normally.
Check for any error codes or leaks—these may point to other issues.
Avoid cranking settings way up; this usually doesn’t fix worn resin.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask for water softener re-bed (resin replacement); tell us the age, brand (if known), and symptoms you’re seeing.
Common Situations Where Resin Replacement Makes Sense
The softener is mechanically sound, but soft water doesn’t last between regenerations.
You’ve had the same unit for many years and performance slowly dropped off.
Resin has been exposed to iron, sediment, or high chlorine over time.
You’d like to extend the life of a good system instead of replacing the whole thing.
Testing or inspection shows resin breakdown, channeling, or fouling.
System Evaluation & Re-Bed Suitability Check
We inspect your softener tank, control valve, and plumbing, and ask about age, brand, and performance history. We confirm if a re-bed is appropriate or if full replacement is the better investment.
Shutdown, Bypass & Drain Down
We bypass the softener and shut off water to the unit, relieve pressure, and drain the tank so it can be safely opened and serviced.
Resin Removal & Tank Inspection
We carefully remove old resin/media from the tank and inspect internals, distributors, and tank condition for cracks, damage, or severe wear.
Tank Cleaning & Prep
We clean and rinse the tank as appropriate, ensuring it’s ready for new resin, and address any correctable interior issues (like misaligned risers or debris).
New Resin Fill & Reassembly
We load fresh, appropriate resin media into the tank, reassemble the internals and control head, and make sure all seals, connections, and fittings are properly seated.
Startup, Backwash & Programming Check
We backwash/flush the system, verify flows, check for leaks, and confirm settings for hardness, capacity, and regeneration are appropriate. We then return the system to normal service.
What’s Included
A typical water softener re-bed (resin replacement) service may include:
Assessment of softener condition to confirm if re-bed is appropriate
Shutoff, bypass, draining, and safe opening of the softener tank
Removal and disposal of old resin/media from the tank
Cleaning and inspection of tank internals and components
Refill with new resin, reassembly, and system flush/startup
Basic programming check and explanation of any recommended settings or follow-up
(Exact scope depends on system type, age, access, and internal tank condition.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Resin replacement costs and timing depend on:
Tank size and resin volume: Larger systems require more media and time.
Condition of the tank and internals: Damaged or worn components may need additional parts or repairs.
Access and location: Garage, side yard, or tight mechanical space can affect labor.
Brand and design: Some units are easier to service than others.
We’ll evaluate your system and provide a clear estimate before starting re-bed work, so you can compare it to replacement options if you’d like.
Insurance & Claims Help
Water softener re-bed is typically maintenance/upkeep, not an insurance item—but sometimes tank leaks or failures cause water damage that involves your policy.
On the plumbing side, we can:
Document pre-existing leaks or tank issues found during evaluation.
Provide itemized invoices and estimates for both re-bed work and any repairs or replacement related to failures.
Answer plumbing questions from your adjuster, property manager, or restoration contractor if water damage has occurred.
Your insurance company and policy always decide what is or isn’t covered; we simply provide accurate plumbing findings and documentation.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Resin replacement is not always the right move:
Very old systems: A unit that’s 10–15+ years old with multiple issues may be better replaced altogether.
Damaged tanks or valves: Cracked tanks or failing control valves can make re-bed uneconomical or unsafe.
Obsolete brands/models: If parts are no longer available or extremely expensive, replacement may be smarter.
Multiple recurring issues: If the system keeps having problems, a new softener can be more cost-effective long term.
We’ll be honest about when re-bed adds value and when your money is better spent on a new system.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Proper handling of media and tanks: We take care to protect surroundings and dispose of old resin appropriately.
Correct resin types and volumes: We use suitable media matched to your tank size and application.
Code-appropriate work: All plumbing connections and valves are handled to Nevada code standards.
Clear explanations: You’ll know what was done, why, and what to watch for after the re-bed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need resin replacement vs a whole new softener?
It depends on age, overall condition, and issues. If the tank and controls are still solid and problems are mainly capacity-related, re-bed can make sense. If the system is old, leaking, or failing in multiple ways, replacement may be better.
How long does new resin last?
It varies by water quality, chlorine exposure, usage, and maintenance, but resin often lasts many years under normal conditions.
Is re-bedding messy?
We take steps to contain and remove old resin cleanly, but it is a hands-on service. We protect surrounding areas and clean up when finished.
Can every softener be re-bedded?
Most traditional resin-based tanks can be, but some compact or cartridge-style units may not be practical to re-bed. We’ll let you know after inspection.
Will re-bedding make my water feel like it did when the unit was new?
If the rest of the system is in good shape, re-bed often restores performance close to original capacity, improving spots, scale, and soft water availability.
