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 & Heating 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 & Heating 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.
We are a full-service plumbing company that offers a Care Plan, repairs, and installs plumbing fixtures, pipes, drains, water softeners, and filtering systems.
Our team of expert plumbers at Alpha Plumbing & Heating 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 & Heating, 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 & Heating, 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.

“This is the second time Yaro has come to our home. First time was to deactivate our NG line to our BBQ. Second time was to connect our BBQ at our new home.
He was exceptional at explaining what we needed to have installed on the home, and sourced a rather hard to find hose for our Weber Summit BBQ.
The quality of the work as before was exceptional and he was transparent about the pricing. Also transparent about why the hoses they supply are more expensive, due to the high quality they use.
The pricing was fair, the results were fantastic.
Thanks Alpha and especially thanks Yaro.
I will be looking into the care plans from Alpha due to the professionalism Yaro, Nathan and Peter have provided us over the last few months as we transition to our new home.”
“Matt was real great. Give me a quick quote. Finish the job very quickly and charged me exactly what the quote was.
It was also really nice chatting with Matt, seemed like a great guy.”
“Fantastic service. Nathan was knowledgeable, professional and a great communicator. The work was done exactly within the time frame he quoted. Very happy with my experience and will definitely use Alpha Plumbing for my next project”
“Nathan and Matt were very friendly and professional. They were professional and patient enough to thoroughly explain their services and confirmed that I understood. They completed the gas fitting faster than expected and then Nathan did a walkthrough of the line to show the completed job. They also re-lit my hot water tank, and fireplace which was above and beyond. Very much appreciated and will refer Alpha Plumbing to anyone needing their services.”
“Nuthan and Matt we're quick to diagnose my issues that went beyond just
Putting my undermounted sync, which had come crashing into the garbage cupboard.Due to my air of far too much water.
They gave me a very accurate estimate.And did the repair within the time they estimated.
Being an older apartment and sync, they reinforced both.The undermount and all the drainage and piping.
Get a note in a number of irregularities and that I should also pick up with the apartment which is quite aged.
I am very satisfied with their work.
Price and time.
To repair: As well as several issues to take up with the property manager.

“Nathan and Matt were both highly knowledgeable and professional throughout the process. The pre-planning, setup, walkthrough, and installation of our gas fitting were excellent from start to finish. They took the time to explain everything clearly, offered valuable suggestions, and made adjustments during the installation to ensure the best result.
The entire experience was easy, seamless, and stress-free. We are extremely satisfied with the service and would highly recommend your company to our friends and family.
Thank you!
Jereme”
“Nathan and Matt were unreal throughout the whole process. They provided detailed information about the plan of action for the gas line for the BBQ and fire table. We were given multiple options of how it could look and we enjoyed the entire process and experience. They were so professional and accommodating. I would highly recommend them for your next project.”
