What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Water Softeners & Scale Control?
Water Softeners & Scale Control covers systems that treat hard water and reduce scale buildup inside your plumbing and on surfaces.
That includes:
-
Salt-based water softeners that remove hardness minerals (like calcium and magnesium) through ion exchange
-
Salt-free conditioners or scale control devices that help reduce or change scale formation
-
Piping and valve setups that allow you to bypass or service the system easily
-
Integrating treatment with water heaters and key fixtures to maximize protection
The goal is to improve water quality, reduce scale and spotting, and help protect your plumbing and appliances from Las Vegas hard water.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
-
Take note of where hard water problems show up most—on shower doors, dishes, faucets, or at the water heater—so we can target the right solution.
-
Look around your water heater and fixtures for white or chalky buildup, and if possible, notice if your water heater is older or has never been flushed.
-
Avoid overusing harsh chemicals or abrasive pads to remove scale; they can damage finishes over time.
-
Gather any information you know about your current water treatment equipment (existing softener, filters, or under-sink units) and whether they’re working properly.
-
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and tell us about your hard water symptoms and any existing equipment so we can recommend the best water softener or scale control option for your home or business.
Common Hard Water & Scale Problems We See
-
White, chalky buildup on faucets, showerheads, and fixtures
-
Spots and film on glass shower doors and dishes, even after cleaning
-
Water heater issues, including more frequent maintenance and shorter lifespans
-
Soap that doesn’t lather well, with shampoos and soaps feeling less effective
-
Dry skin and hair that feel worse after showers
-
Appliances like dishwashers and washing machines showing scale buildup or performance issues
-
Older or malfunctioning water softeners that no longer work properly
-
If you’re constantly fighting spots and buildup, or replacing fixtures and water heaters more often than expected, water treatment and scale control can make a big difference.

Call & Basic Assessment
You call (702) 438-3357 and describe your hard water symptoms (spots, buildup, dry skin, appliance issues) and whether you have any existing water treatment equipment. We schedule a visit to evaluate your setup.
On-Site Evaluation & System Sizing
Your plumber looks at your main water line, existing plumbing, water heater, and fixture layout, and, where available, considers water hardness data. We discuss household size, usage patterns, and goals (comfort, appliance protection, or both).
Options: Softeners & Scale Control Solutions
We present system options—such as salt-based softeners, salt-free conditioners, or scale control devices—explaining how each works, expected benefits, maintenance needs, and approximate operating costs.
Professional Installation or Replacement
Once you choose a solution, we install or replace the system using proper piping layouts, bypass valves, shutoffs, and drains, and tie it into your water supply and (when needed) drain lines according to local codes and manufacturer guidelines.
Setup, Programming & Testing
We program timers or controls (for regenerating softeners), verify correct flow direction and bypass function, check for leaks, and test water at fixtures before and after treatment to confirm correct operation.
Clean-Up, Walkthrough & Maintenance Guidance
We clean the workspace, walk you through valves, settings, and basic operation, explain how to add salt (if applicable), and provide suggestions on maintenance and periodic checks so your system continues to perform well.
What’s Included
-
On-site inspection of your plumbing, water heater, and any existing treatment equipment
-
System sizing and recommendations based on home size, usage, and goals
-
Water softener or scale control installation/replacement with appropriate valves and connections
-
Programming and system startup, including checks for leaks and proper flow
-
Basic performance verification at fixtures (before/after comparisons where feasible)
-
Homeowner instructions and documentation for operation, maintenance, and warranty info
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
-
Many water softener and scale control installations can be completed in a single visit, depending on access and plumbing layout.
-
You receive clear, upfront pricing before any installation or replacement begins.
-
Costs depend on system type (salt-based softener vs. salt-free or scale device), capacity and features, installation complexity (existing loops vs. new piping), and any additional valves, drains, or electrical work needed.
-
Every project includes a line-item estimate detailing equipment, labor, and any optional upgrades (such as pre-filters, dedicated hose bib bypasses, or additional treatment stages).
Insurance & Claims Help
-
Water softeners and scale control systems are typically improvement/upgrade items rather than insurance claims, but related issues can sometimes involve coverage:
-
If hard water damage contributed to a failure (like a ruptured water heater), we can document the condition of equipment and note what we found.
-
We provide detailed invoices and descriptions if you’re coordinating with a warranty company or service contract.
-
(Coverage specifics are determined by your policy or warranty provider; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
-
Accelerated appliance wear: Hard water can shorten the life of water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, and fixtures.
-
Higher energy usage: Scale buildup inside water heaters can reduce efficiency, making them work harder to heat water.
-
Constant cleaning battles: Waiting means more scrubbing, chemicals, and effort to keep glass, fixtures, and tile looking clean.
-
More frequent repairs: Over time, scale can contribute to leaky faucets, restricted flow, and clogged aerators or showerheads.
-
Bigger replacement costs later: Delaying water treatment can mean replacing costly equipment sooner than expected.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
-
System-matched solutions: We recommend water softeners or scale control systems based on your actual water conditions and usage, not just a one-size-fits-all approach.
-
Quality materials: Use of approved valves, fittings, piping, and drains designed to work with treatment systems and local plumbing codes.
-
Bypass & serviceability: We install systems with isolation valves and bypass options whenever possible to make maintenance and future service easier.
-
Code-conscious installs: Respecting local codes in Clark County and surrounding areas, including drain connections and backflow prevention where required.
-
Integration with existing plumbing: We pay attention to water heater connections, outside hose bibs, and dedicated lines so you understand which areas are treated and which are not.
