Matts Plumbing Services water softener

About this product

Matt’s Plumbing Services approach water treatment with the technical mindset of a master plumber. While many companies focus strictly on "softness," Matt’s emphasizes total system protection, specifically addressing how Florida's chlorine levels can degrade your plumbing and the water softener itself. 🛡️ The Plumber’s Approach: Hybrid Protection Matt’s Plumbing specializes in Dual-Purpose Systems that combine traditional ion exchange with advanced chemical filtration. Ion Exchange (The Softener): This is the core engine that swaps calcium and magnesium (hardness) for harmless sodium or potassium. This stops scale from forming inside your pipes and water heater. GAC Filtration (The Protector): By integrating Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), the system scrubs chlorine from the water before it can cause damage. Resin Longevity: Chlorine is an oxidant that "mushrooms" or breaks down the resin beads inside a softener, eventually turning them into a sludge that causes pressure loss. A GAC filter can effectively double the life of your softener's resin. Appliance Care: Removing chlorine protects the rubber seals and O-rings in your dishwasher, washing machine, and toilets, which often become brittle and leak when exposed to high city-water chlorine. Why Homeowners Choose Matt’s (2026 Profile) In the 2026 Tampa market, Matt’s Plumbing is known for being "The Beard You Can Trust."

They ensure your softener is installed with a proper bypass and correctly sized drain line. Upfront Pricing: They provide firm, honest quotes.
