Water Softeners – Water softeners are one of the best things for any home in Southern California to have. A majority of the water that comes into Southern California originates from the Colorado River. In Southern California where water is scarce and it’s great to have a consistent water source. However in the water from the Colorado River is considered hard water. Hard water if a term used to describe water that has high concentrations of minerals like magnesium and calcium. While there are not scientifically proven negative health impacts from hard water it can cause other undesirable problems. Hard water can cause a buildup of what is called scale inside of your water supply line. Those scale deposit can actually shorten the life span of your water heater as well. It also makes it more difficult to rinse off soap or shampoo which is not good for your hair. Hard water can cause of a number of other issues within your house and is kind of a nuisance. Having a water softener is definitely recommended, if it is within your budget. That being said, water softeners can run into issues from time to time, just like any other plumbing related item in your home. Loose water connections are something we see pretty often as the cause of a water softener leak. Another type of common leak we see has to do with a mechanical component called a rotor valve. It is actually one of the most important parts of a water softener. It is the piece that sends water through the water softener so it can complete the process of softening your water. The rotor valve has a small rubber ring on it called an O-Ring. These O-Rings can dry out or crack and require replacement so the water softener can function properly. The rotor valve itself may need to be replaced as well. They are made of brass which can wear out over time due to a number of factors such as the percentage of the brass rotor valve’s zinc content. If your water softener starts leaking, Pristine Plumbing will be able to identify what is wrong with the water softener and repair the water softener as well.

Toilet Leaks – There are a lot of different things that can cause a toilet to leak. One of the most common complaints we hear from customers is that their toilet won’t stop running. A few different things can cause the toilet to continue to fill the reservoir. There is an object called a flapper in the bottom of your toilet’s reservoir, it keeps water from flowing into your toilet bowl and allows the reservoir to fill. If the flapper does not properly align or make a connection with the seal at the bottom of the reservoir, the toilet will continue to run. If the flapper is making a connection with the seal on the bottom of the reservoir, your float may be too high in the reservoir which allows water to spill into the overflow tube. There are several other things that can cause your toilet to continue to run. When your toilet continues to run, it is not only a waste of water, but the sound will likely start to irritate you.
