Water Softener & Filtration FAQs

Do I really need a water softener in this area?

Yes. The Omaha metro has very hard water, which can shorten the life of plumbing and appliances.

What’s the difference between a softener and a filter?

Softeners remove hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium. Filters remove contaminants such as chlorine, rust, or chemicals.

How often does a softener need maintenance?

Most require salt refills monthly and professional servicing every 1–2 years.
