Hard water is a common issue across Fort Myers and much of Southwest Florida. Homeowners often notice it through cloudy dishes, white buildup on faucets, dry skin after showers, or appliances that seem to wear out faster than they should. Over time, untreated hard water can take a toll on plumbing systems and fixtures throughout the home.

If you are dealing with hard water in your home, now is a good time to explore your options.
Eliminate Hard Water Problems for Good
Florida hard water contains high levels of dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium. As water moves through your plumbing, those minerals settle out and form limescale on pipes, fixtures, and appliances.
In Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Naples, this buildup shows up quickly. Showers leave skin feeling dry. Glassware spots no matter how much detergent you use. Faucets and showerheads clog with mineral deposits. Inside the pipes, scale buildup slowly narrows flow and increases strain on the system.
Water conditioning with a whole-home softener addresses these issues at the source, before minerals have a chance to cause damage.
Signs Your Home Needs a Water Softener
Hard water problems often develop gradually. Many homeowners live with them longer than they should.
Common signs include:
- White or chalky residue on faucets and fixtures
- Spotting on dishes and glassware after washing
- Dry skin or dull hair after bathing
- Reduced water pressure over time
- Appliances needing repairs or replacement sooner than expected
If you are seeing several of these symptoms, a water hardness test can confirm whether a water softener installation is the right solution.
Benefits of Installing a Whole-Home Water Softener
A whole house water softener improves water quality throughout the entire home, not just at one tap.
Protect Your Appliances
Soft water reduces scale buildup inside dishwashers, washing machines, and water heaters. This helps extend appliance lifespan and supports better efficiency over time.
Better for Your Body
Many homeowners notice softer skin and hair after switching to conditioned water. Soap and shampoo rinse more cleanly without mineral residue.
Easier Cleaning
With fewer mineral deposits, sinks, toilets, and showers stay cleaner longer. Soap scum is reduced, and less detergent is needed for everyday cleaning.
Soft water benefits add up quickly, both in comfort and reduced maintenance.
How Water Softeners Work
Water softeners use resin beads to capture calcium and magnesium minerals as water flows through the system. Those minerals are exchanged for sodium or potassium ions, which do not cause scale buildup.
The system regenerates periodically using a salt-based process that flushes trapped minerals away and refreshes the resin. This cycle keeps the system working efficiently and ensures consistent soft water throughout the home.
The result is treated water that protects plumbing, fixtures, and appliances from mineral damage.
Repair and Maintenance for Existing Systems
Aztec Plumbing & Drains services new installations as well as existing systems. We also provide repair and maintenance for water softeners already in place.
If your system is no longer reducing scale buildup, using excess salt, or showing error messages, our technicians can diagnose the issue and recommend the right fix. Regular maintenance helps ensure resin beads, valves, and controls continue to operate as intended.
Proper care keeps your investment working and extends the life of the system.
