What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Water Softener System Replacement (Old Unit Swap-Out)?
Water softener replacement means:
Disconnecting and removing your existing softener and brine tank
Evaluating and updating the tie-in, valves, and drain connection
Installing a new softener in place of the old unit
Starting up and testing your new system so it’s ready for daily use
Instead of limping along with a leaking, salty, or non-regenerating softener, a swap-out delivers reliable, modern equipment tuned to your home.

Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Note the age and brand if you know it.
Look for leaks, salt buildup, or error lights on the unit.
Check if water feels hard again (spots, scale, dry skin).
Take a few photos of your existing softener and nearby piping.
Decide if you want softener-only or to discuss extra filtration too.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask for water softener system replacement (old unit swap-out); let us know what the current unit is doing (or not doing).
Common Situations Where Softener Replacement Makes Sense
Your softener is 10–15+ years old and unreliable.
The unit no longer softens water, even after service.
You see repeated leaks around the tank, valves, or connections.
The control head or electronics have failed or are obsolete.
You’re remodeling and want a cleaner, upgraded installation.
You moved into a home with a mystery softener that doesn’t work.
Inspection of Existing Softener & Plumbing
We inspect your current unit, valves, and piping, check for leaks and corrosion, and confirm where the main line and drain connections are. We also verify space and placement for the new softener.
Shutoff, Depressurizing & Safe Disconnect
We shut off water, relieve pressure, and safely disconnect the old softener and brine tank, taking care to protect surrounding finishes and nearby equipment.
Removal of Old Unit & Prep of Connection Points
We remove the old tanks and components, then clean up and prep the existing plumbing—fixing or updating bypass valves, unions, and drain connections as needed for a solid new install.
Installation of New Softener & Brine Tank
We set the new softener and brine tank, make secure water line connections, and route a drain line to an appropriate discharge location in line with code and manufacturer specs.
Startup, Programming & Performance Check
We start up the new system, program regeneration and capacity settings for your home, and check for leaks, flow, and correct operation.
Walkthrough, Old Unit Disposal Options & Next Steps
We show you how to use the bypass, check salt, and read the basic controls. We discuss old unit haul-away options (if included or requested) and any optional future maintenance you may want.
What’s Included
A typical water softener system replacement (old unit swap-out) may include:
Evaluation of existing softener and plumbing layout
Shutoff, disconnect, and removal of the old softener and brine tank
Cleanup and prep of existing plumbing, valves, and drain connection
Installation and connection of the new softener and brine tank
System startup, programming, and performance testing
Basic homeowner walkthrough on operation, salt checks, and bypass use
(Exact scope depends on condition of existing piping, access, and the new system chosen.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Replacement costs depend on:
Condition of the existing setup: Corroded fittings, bad valves, or non-code drains may require extra work.
System size and features: Simple models vs higher-capacity or feature-rich units.
Location and access: Garage, side yard, mechanical area, or tight spaces.
Need for extra upgrades: Adding new shutoffs, drains, or pre-filters if desired.
We’ll give you a clear, upfront estimate before work begins and outline what’s included and what’s optional.
Insurance & Claims Help
Water softener replacement itself is normally a home upgrade, not an insurance item—but damage from a leaking old softener might involve your policy.
On the plumbing side, we can help by:
Documenting what failed on the old unit (e.g., cracked tank, leaking fittings, improper prior install).
Providing itemized invoices and estimates for both repair/replacement work and any emergency calls.
Answering plumbing-related questions from your adjuster, property manager, or restoration contractor when needed.
Your insurance company and policy always decide what is or isn’t covered—we simply provide clear plumbing facts and documentation to support the conversation.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Sometimes replacement is part of a bigger picture:
Hidden plumbing issues: Low pressure or poor performance may also involve old piping or other fixtures.
Poor water quality beyond hardness: You may need additional filtration if there are other contaminants or taste/odor issues.
Limited space: Tight or unusual locations might require creative mounting or minor re-piping.
Outdoor installs: Equipment in exposed areas may need extra protection from sun or weather.
We’ll be honest about what replacement will fix and where extra work or add-ons may help.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Code-compliant swap-outs: We follow Nevada plumbing code and manufacturer instructions for new installs.
Quality fittings and valves: We use proper shutoffs, unions, and supports so future service is easier.
Neat, serviceable layout: We aim for a clean, logical setup that’s easy to understand and maintain.
Clear homeowner education: We make sure you know the basics of using and caring for your new system before we leave.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you just repair my old water softener instead?
Sometimes, but many older units are not worth repairing due to age, parts availability, or repeated failures. We’ll let you know your realistic options.
Do you haul away the old unit?
We can remove and dispose of the old softener as part of the job, depending on the package—just ask when you call.
Will my water be off for long?
Typically, water is off only during the cut-in and swap-out portion. Most replacements are same-day jobs for typical homes.
Can you reuse any of the existing plumbing?
Often yes, but we may update valves, unions, or drains if they’re corroded, leaking, or not up to current standards.
Will the new softener be in the same place?
Usually, yes. If there’s a better or safer location nearby, we’ll discuss it with you before making changes.
