    Water softener
    My house is only a bit over 4 years and was not used much as it was a foreclosure. A water guy saw my system and said it was junk and I needed a new one. We don't know much about these things. I am in North Port. Can anyone around here help me out?
    Thanks.

    Sorry about your situation. We have a water softner too that came with our house. He told us the same thing. Wonder if they just want to make money to buy a new updated one. We don't know how to disconnect it too. We were told culligan man serviced it. Wish someone would come and disconnect it its just taking up space. I wish you luck.

    I hope this is not too late for you. If the system is only 4 years old, probably not. Although if it froze while the house was vacant it may very well be unrepairable. If you can post a picture of the system here and provide a little more information I may be help more. I would recommend you get a water analysis done to determine the water chemistry. You can go to www.wqa.org to find a certified water treatment professional in your area.

We have a water softener that has a resin filter that has broken numerous times due to surges in water pressure. This time we didn't realize it had broken in time to bypass the softener and avoid getting resin in the lines again. We've already flushed the resin out of the 2 toilets and 2 sinks...

Constant running water noise, old water softener pipes? [ 3 Answers ]

When we bought our house, it came with a decommissioned water softener in the laundry room.
