Water Softener System Installation

If you have scale buildup on your faucets, sinks, or pipes, or if you notice that your soap and detergent don’t lather, then you may be dealing with hard water.
Hard water typically has high levels of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, leading to buildup on your fixtures, appliances, skin, and hair.
Mineral buildup can wreak havoc on plumbing and make it difficult to keep your home clean.
Meetze Plumbing is the authorized dealer of leading Kinetico water treatment technology in Columbia and the Midlands of South Carolina, and Augusta, GA.
What is a Water Softener System?
Not to be confused with a water filtration system, a whole-house water softener removes minerals such as calcium and magnesium ions from “hard water” that can damage plumbing appliances, clog pipes, and make it difficult for detergents to dissolve properly.
Hard water causes unsightly problems like scale buildup on faucets, sinks, and pipes. When it builds up inside your home’s pipes, it can reduce your water heater’s efficiency, which means higher energy costs.
Meetze Plumbing installs Kinetico® water softening solutions that, along with keeping your utility costs in check, offer a wealth of benefits:
- Cleaner, shinier silver and glassware
- Mirrors, tiles, cars, and other plumbing fixtures are free of hard water spots
- Softer skin
- Clean, smooth hair
- Richer soap and shampoo lather, so you need to use less product
- Softer and longer-lived clothes because hard minerals are no longer trapped in the material, and whites stay whiter without the dingy gray caused by hard water
- Longer life span for appliances like ice makers, coffee machines, water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines
Meetze Plumbing’s water-softening solutions protect your family and home from hard water. Water softening works through a process called “ion exchange.” When hard water enters the softening system’s resin bed, an ion exchange occurs to “soften” the water.
Once the resin bed is filled with hardness ions, a salt-based cleaning or “regeneration” is used to clean the resin beds.
The Kinetico Saltless Scale Reducing System prevents scale buildup in fixtures, pipes, and appliances that use hot water, but doesn’t use the salt-based ion-exchange process to soften the water.
If you’re thinking about adding a water softener system to your home but still have questions, we’re here to help!

Why Should You Get a Water Softener
Hard water is one of the most common water quality concerns for consumers in the United States. Mineral buildup on faucets, in sinks, and in tubs can shorten the life span of your appliances and contribute to higher energy bills.
While hard water can harm your home in a number of ways, Meetze Plumbing offers innovative water-softening solutions to rid your home of hard water problems and ensure optimal performance of your appliances, while saving you money.
How Do You Know If You Have Hard Water?
There are several telltale signs that your home’s water has high levels of mineral buildup, including the following:
- Spots on dishes, glassware, and utensils after washing
- Visible mineral buildup on faucets, sinks, and tubs
- Higher electric and gas bills due to mineral buildup on water heating coils
- Shortened life span for water appliances due to buildup on internal mechanisms
- Stiff clothing after washing from leftover mineral and soap residue
- Brittle hair from leftover mineral and soap residue

I’m thankful that Meetze was able to send Dave out quickly and repair our water pipes within a day. It was an extensive job due to our pipes being crushed from tree roots. He walked me through every step of the repairs and worked within my budget.
