Alpha Plumbing technicians take pride in leaving a spotless work area and proudly showing off our clean work! We are always happy to answer your questions and offer helpful maintenance tips.
Thankfully there is an easy fix for hard water, and our expert plumbers at Alpha Plumbing can assist you with it.
Water Softeners Versus Water Conditioners
You may have heard about salt-free alternatives to water softeners called water conditioners. Water conditioners make the minerals less abrasive but do not remove them all.
Although water conditioners can significantly improve your water, scaling still is possible.
If you want to eliminate calcium and magnesium from your water, we recommend installing a water softener.
Some homeowners are interested in water conditioners because they require less maintenance than water softeners. If maintenance is your concern, let our qualified pros at Alpha Plumbing handle the work for you. We can install and maintain your system while you enjoy softened water in your home.

Water Softener Installation
We install and maintain water softener systems throughout Sprinkbank and surrounding areas that eliminate magnesium and calcium, the minerals found in hard water.

Our team of expert plumbers at Alpha Plumbing are available for emergency repairs. Contact us to inspect your plumbing system and gain peace of mind.
Problems With Hard Water
High levels of calcium and magnesium in your water can build up and leave limescale deposits on your plumbing fixtures, pipes, and appliances, shortening their life span and interfering with water pressure, and causing blockages.
Soap does not lather well in hard water and leaves scum on fixtures, shower doors, and sinks. Hard water may leave stains on glassware and dishes and leave laundry looking dingy and feeling stiff.
That hard water soap scum can irritate sensitive skin, making it feel dry and itchy.
Benefits of Installing a Whole-House Water Softener System
At Alpha Plumbing, we always aim to recommend products and services that benefit your household. Here are a few advantages of using a water softener:
- Appliances, such as your water heater, will be less prone to limescale buildup and last longer.
- Glassware and dishes will look cleaner without hard water stains, and laundry will be brighter.
- Soap scum on bathroom and kitchen surfaces will be a thing of the past.
- Blocked pipes from limescale buildup will be less likely.
- Your skin may feel and look better after bathing with softened water.
You can count on our team to correctly install your water softening system so that you enjoy the most value from it. At Alpha Plumbing, we offer flexible monthly payments to help you purchase your plumbing system.
How Do Water Softeners Work?
The typical water softener replaces calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions. As water enters the water softener's main tank, it passes through resin beads that have absorbed sodium.
The calcium and magnesium in the water are positively charged and attracted to the negatively charged resin. They cling to the beads while the softened water leaves the tank for distribution through your Alberta home's plumbing system.
The system must be cleaned every few days with salt water to recharge the resin beads and remove the mineral deposits. A separate tank holds salty water for the cleaning and recharging process, and connects to the main softening tank. A valve controls the amount of water used during cleaning and recharging.
The sodium tank typically can be refilled with salt pellets. Some softening systems use potassium rather than salt.

“Yaro was sent out to review my furnace operation (as well as doing a plumbing review) and he was thorough, knowledgeable and helpful in every way. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that some potentially serious issues were found which could cost me. Not their fault. But I have every confidence that I'll be in the right hands when the time comes to work out a solution… and I appreciate how informative and understanding your technician was of my situation. Peace of mind in situations like this is worth A LOT.”
“The experience of working with this company is stellar.
Melanie was very professional and friendly. She excels at customer interaction and service and was dedicated to have a technician as quickly as possible as the furnace was not working and 10C
Melanie followed up and advised me that Nathan B would be arriving by email and sent a photo of Nathan B and the details of his arrival
Nathan B arrived and introduced himself and went directly to review the situation. I was advised of the circumstances and a replacement part was driven out from Calgary immediately. Nathan B worked on the furnace and keep me updated as to what was happening. He tested everything several times and adjusted the thermostat and wiring to ensure all was performing properly. I have dealt with several plumbing companies over the years with my residence as well and would give Nathan B a five star ⭐️ review as well as Alpha Plumbing. They definitely deliver certified professional service with excellent customer service. The best experience!”

“Matt W went over & above his efficiency, attention to detail and his informative approach to educate the consumer was phenomenal. He has secured a lifelong customer. Thank you.”
“Nathan did a fantastic job repairing our shower. We have an unusual model and he worked pretty hard to find us one of the last remaining cartridges in town. This was much appreciated heading into the Christmas holidays.”
“Nathan did an excellent job replacing our bathroom taps, repairing our kitchen sink and installing all new shut off valves.
He was professional, prompt, polite and friendly. Nathan took the time to explain his work and offer advice and recommendations.

Well done team effort!”
