About this product

Professional Water Softener Installation in Westminster, MD Hard water is an incredibly common and destructive issue for homeowners throughout Central Maryland.

At Apple Plumbing, Heating & Air, we provide expert water softener installation, calibration, and repair services across Westminster and surrounding areas. Our family-owned company helps you eliminate mineral issues, slash your utility costs, and extend the lifespan of your entire plumbing system. Understanding the Hidden Damage of Hard Water Hard water contains elevated concentrations of dissolved minerals—specifically calcium and magnesium—that naturally seep into local groundwater supplies. Over time, these invisible minerals accumulate inside your infrastructure, triggering a variety of costly household headaches: Plumbing & Appliance Scale: Heavy crust forms inside pipes, tankless water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines, restricting water flow and forcing systems to overwork. Skyrocketing Energy Costs: Just a fraction of an inch of scale buildup inside a water heater acts as an insulator, drastically reducing heating efficiency and driving up monthly bills. Inefficient Soap Performance: Hard water prevents soaps and detergents from lathering properly, requiring you to use up to twice as much product to get clothes and dishes clean. Stained Glassware & Fixtures: Leaves unsightly, cloudy film, water spots, and mineral crust on clean dishes, shower doors, and chrome faucets. Dull Hair & Dry Skin: Clogs pores and strips away natural oils, leaving your skin feeling chronically itchy and hair feeling brittle after every shower.
