What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a Whole-House Water Softener System?
A whole-house water softener treats incoming hard water before it circulates through your home, typically using an ion-exchange media and a brine tank to remove calcium and magnesium minerals.
Installed on the main cold-water supply (usually before the water heater), it:
Helps reduce scale buildup in pipes, fixtures, and appliances
Can make soaps and detergents lather and rinse more effectively
Helps keep glass, tile, and fixtures easier to clean
Supports longer life for water-using appliances like dishwashers and water heaters
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Proper sizing & placement: We match the softener capacity and setup to your house size and water use.
Clean, code-compliant installs: We handle bypass valves, drains, and brine lines correctly.
Protection for your plumbing: We understand your existing pipes, water heater, and fixtures, not just the new unit.
Local, licensed plumbers: Nevada License #0047021, serving Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Summerlin since 1991.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Look for white or chalky deposits on fixtures, shower doors, and faucets.
Note any frequent water heater issues or reduced flow from scale buildup.
Check where your main water shutoff and water heater are located (often near where the softener would go).
Decide if you want just softening or to discuss additional filtration options at the same time.
Snap a few photos of your current plumbing setup near the water heater/main line if you can.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask about whole-house water softener system installation; let us know the home size and where your main water line is (if you know).
Common Situations Where a Whole-House Softener Makes Sense
You see white spots on glasses, shower doors, and fixtures even after cleaning.
Your water heater or fixtures have visible scale or reduced performance.
You’re tired of soap scum and want smoother-feeling showers and baths.
You’ve invested in new fixtures, appliances, or remodels and want to protect them.
You’re moving into a new home and want to tackle hard water early.
Home & Water Use Evaluation
We review your home size, number of bathrooms, and typical water use, then inspect where your main water line and water heater are located to determine the best installation spot.
System Sizing & Placement Planning
Based on your needs, we recommend a properly sized system and plan tie-in points, bypass arrangement, drain routing, and brine tank placement so the softener is both effective and serviceable.
Shutoff, Cut-In & Valve Setup
We safely shut off the water, cut into the main supply line, and install the control valves and bypass assembly so you can isolate the softener when needed without losing water to the entire house.
Softener & Brine Tank Installation
We set the softener unit and brine tank, make the necessary plumbing connections, and route a drain line to an approved discharge point according to code and manufacturer guidelines.
Startup, Programming & System Check
We start up the system, program basic regeneration settings appropriate for your home and water conditions, and check for proper operation, flow, and leaks.
Walkthrough, Tips & Maintenance Guidance
We show you how to use the bypass, check salt levels, and recognize basic service or regeneration indicators, and we discuss options for future maintenance or upgrades if desired.
What’s Included
A typical whole-house water softener installation may include:
On-site evaluation of your plumbing layout and connection point
Recommendation and placement of the softener and brine tank
Plumbing tie-in to the main water line with a bypass assembly
Drain and brine connections per code and manufacturer requirements
Startup, programming, and testing of the new system
Homeowner walkthrough and basic maintenance guidance
(Exact scope depends on existing plumbing conditions, space, and brand/model of the softener.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Total investment depends on:
Home size and water use: Larger homes may need higher-capacity systems.
Location and access: Garage, side yard, mechanical room, or tight spaces can affect labor.
Existing plumbing: Whether the main line and shutoff are easy to access and tie into.
System type/features: Basic softener vs units with advanced controls, monitoring, or combined filtration.
We’ll provide a clear estimate before work begins and explain what’s included and what’s optional, like upgraded filtration or additional isolation valves.
Insurance & Claims Help
Installing a whole-house water softener is usually considered a home improvement, not something insurance pays for—but sometimes related leaks, failures, or water damage can involve your policy.
Here’s how we can help on the plumbing side if insurance gets involved:
We can document what we found (corroded fittings, failed valves, improper previous install, etc.) and what we repaired or replaced.
We provide clear, itemized invoices and estimates that show labor, materials, and scope of work in plain language.
When requested, we can answer plumbing questions from your adjuster, property manager, or restoration contractor about the cause of a leak or failure.
Coverage decisions are always made by your insurance company and your specific policy—we don’t decide what is or isn’t covered. Our role is to give you accurate plumbing information and documentation so your adjuster can make an informed decision.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
A water softener is helpful, but:
It’s not a filter for all contaminants—some water quality concerns may need additional filtration or treatment.
It doesn’t fix existing scale in older pipes, though it may slow future buildup.
Very limited space or unusual plumbing setups may require creative solutions or additional work.
Some people prefer part of the home on unsoftened water (e.g., hose bibs)—we can discuss those options.
We’ll be honest about where softening fits, and where other upgrades or treatments may also be appropriate.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Code-compliant installations: We follow Nevada plumbing code and manufacturer instructions.
Quality valves and fittings: We use proper fittings, unions, and shutoffs for serviceability.
Neat, service-friendly layout: We aim for installations that are clean, logical, and easy to service.
Straightforward explanations: We make sure you understand how your new system works before we leave.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a water softener really help with spots and scale?
Yes—softeners are designed to reduce hardness minerals, which are the main cause of spots and scale in hard water areas.
Where will the softener go?
Usually near your main water entry and water heater—often in a garage, side yard, or mechanical area, depending on your home’s layout.
Will all my water be softened?
Typically yes, except for any lines we intentionally leave unsoftened (like certain outdoor hose bibs, if desired).
Is maintenance difficult?
Most homeowners simply check and refill salt in the brine tank and consider periodic checkups; we can help with that if you prefer.
Can you add other treatment with the softener?
Often yes—such as pre-filters or additional conditioning. We can discuss options based on your goals.
