Softeners for Sun City West Homes
Sun City West homes date from the late 1970s through the 1990s. Some were built with softener loops and some were not. Either way, we can install a softener that fits.
Hard water in the West Valley leaves scale in water heaters, wears out faucet cartridges and toilet fill valves, and leaves spots on everything. A softener removes those minerals at the main line, so the whole house benefits.
Softeners and Seasonal Homes
If you spend part of the year away, a few things are worth knowing about your softener.
While you are gone, if the main water is shut off, the softener will not regenerate, which is fine. If the water stays on, the softener keeps working on its schedule. Some owners put it in bypass for the season.
When you return, check the salt level and run water through the house for a bit. If the softener was in bypass, switch it back. If the control valve lost power or its settings during an outage, it may need to be reset.
We can set up your softener so it is easy to manage around your travel schedule.
Softener Repair
Common softener problems we fix in Sun City West:
- Salt not going down (salt bridge or clogged injector)
- Brine tank full of water
- Hard water returning even with salt
- Resin beads showing up in faucets
- Leaks at the control valve or bypass
- Control head not holding settings
If your softener is old and needs constant repair, replacement may be the better value. See our main Peoria water softener page.
Adding a Softener Loop
Some Sun City West homes were built with a softener loop and some were not. If yours does not have one, adding it is a common job.
We tap into the main water line where it enters the house, install a bypass valve, and run a drain line with an air gap. We plan the tie-in so outdoor hose bibs stay on hard water for landscaping, and place the softener somewhere convenient for adding salt.
Once the loop is in place, the softener connects cleanly and can be serviced or replaced in the future without cutting into the main line again.

Alex was fantastic to work with! He responded quickly to my initial inquiry and recommended an under-the-sink RO system that he personally uses in his own home.

Should I put my softener in bypass when I leave?
If the main water stays on, you can leave it running or bypass it. If you shut off the main, it does not matter much.
Why is my brine tank full of water?
It can be a clogged injector, a stuck valve or a drain line problem. We can diagnose it.
How often should I add salt?
Check monthly. How much you use depends on system size, water use and hardness.
Do you install RO systems in Sun City West?
