Scale on your taps, spots on the dishes or a water heater wearing out too soon? We install, repair and service a water softener in Chatham-Kent for homes on municipal water and private wells.
Chatham, Wallaceburg, Blenheim and Wheatley get treated surface water, while Ridgetown and Highgate draw from groundwater. Municipal water here sits in the moderately hard to hard range, and private wells are often harder still. That's why so many homeowners put in a water softener in Chatham-Kent.
On a private well or in Ridgetown and Highgate? Hardness varies from home to home, so a water test is the only way to know your number.

Resin wears out and control valves fail with age. Replacing them can bring an older system back without buying a new one.
Fixes — softening that fades, leaks and failed cycles.
On a private well? Iron, sulfur and extra hardness need more than a softener alone. We combine filtration, softening and disinfection into one system.
Rural homes — see how we treat well water.
Wells in rural parts of the municipality often have harder water than town systems, plus iron and hydrogen sulfide. A water softener for well water handles the hardness, but on its own it can't deal with iron or that rotten-egg smell. That's why we usually pair a water softener and iron filter, then add UV to take care of bacteria.
An iron filter for well water removes iron and sulfur first, so they don't foul the softener.
RemovesIron, manganese, sulfur smell
Removes the calcium and magnesium behind scale on fixtures, in the water heater and in appliances.
RemovesHardness minerals
Ultraviolet light inactivates bacteria as water flows through, with no chemicals added.
TreatsBacteria and viruses
Ontario offers free bacteria testing for private wells through public health. Pump acting up too? See our well pump services.

Out of salt, worn resin or the bypass valve left open.
Look at the salt level and make sure the bypass is in service mode.
A hard crust of salt forms over the water, so no brine is made.
Gently tap the salt with a broom handle to see if it's hollow underneath.
A clogged brine line or injector, or a float valve fault.
Look for a kinked or disconnected brine line.
Settings lost after a power outage, or a failed motor or timer.
Check the clock and regeneration settings on the display.
A sensor, motor or control valve fault.
Write down the code before you call. It speeds up the repair.
A clogged resin bed, iron fouling or an undersized unit.
Switch to bypass. If pressure comes back, the softener is the cause.

We were getting white mineral deposits on everything, especially the shower doors and kitchen taps. NeoFlow installed a water softener and showed us how to add salt and check the settings. The difference in how the water feels is noticeable. Good work and no mess left behind.

Our softener was using salt but the water was still hard. The technician checked the brine tank and found the unit wasn't drawing brine properly during regeneration. He cleaned the injector and tested the cycle. Saved us from buying a whole new system.

Our old water softener had started leaking around the control head and was well past its best. NeoFlow checked the plumbing, helped us choose a suitable replacement and installed it in the same utility corner. Everything looks tidy and the new unit is much easier to use.

I booked a service because there was a hard layer of salt at the bottom of our brine tank. They broke up the salt bridge, cleaned the tank and checked the regeneration settings. The plumber also explained how to prevent it from happening again. Very practical advice.

We moved into a house with a water softener that nobody had explained to us. NeoFlow tested the water hardness, checked the bypass valve and adjusted the regeneration settings for our household. They took the time to show us what the controls actually do. Really helpful visit.

Water pressure dropped whenever we ran more than one tap. The plumber traced the restriction to our aging water softener and checked the valves and resin bed. We ended up replacing the worn unit. Water pressure is back to normal, and they explained the options before doing any work.
