We eliminate limescale, dry skin, and appliance damage with professional whole-house water softener installation. Restore your home’s water quality today.
A water softener system is a filtration unit that uses Ion Exchange to physically remove hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) from your water supply. Unlike “conditioners” that only prevent sticking, a true water softener actually removes the rock-forming minerals that destroy plumbing. At National Water Service, we specialize in water softener installation that protects every tap and appliance in your home.
A water softener is ideal if you:
Use private well water (or hard city water)
Have white spots on glassware and dishes
Suffer from dry, itchy skin or frizzy hair
Are installing a new Water Heater (to protect the warranty)
See crusty white buildup on faucets and shower heads
Water softeners are commonly installed alongside sediment filters to ensure maximum plumbing protection. Learn more about whole house water filtration here.
Water softener systems offer immediate protection for your home. The primary advantage is the elimination of “Scale”—the rock-like buildup that clogs pipes and ruins appliances. Without a hardness test, you may be unaware of your water quality until your water heater fails. A system gives you peace of mind.
Hard water destroys water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines. A softener extends appliance life by 30-50%.
Hard minerals clog pores and coat hair. Soft water allows natural oils to work, resulting in smoother skin and shinier hair.
You can use 50% less soap and detergent with soft water because it lathers instantly. This saves hundreds of dollars a year.
Once installed, our modern systems are “set it and forget it.” They only require periodic salt refills, which we can deliver or you can manage easily.
High-efficiency softeners reduce energy waste. A scale-free water heater uses 30% less energy to heat your water.
Soft water can improve the taste of your drinking water, making it more pleasant to consume. It can also enhance the flavor of food and beverages prepared with water, such as coffee, tea, and soups.
Soft water can significantly improve your cleaning efforts around the house. Dishes will come out sparkling clean without the annoying spots and residue left by hard water. Your fixtures and appliances will be easier to clean as well, with less scale buildup to scrub away.
At National Water Service, our mission is to give you clean, safe, great-tasting water — backed by over 47 years of trusted experience.
We test your water to identify bacteria, sediment, iron, hardness, and other factors.

We provide maintenance, salt delivery, and system inspections.
Yes — A water softener is essential for Maryland & Virginia wells. Well water in our region flows through limestone bedrock, picking up high levels of dissolved calcium. This makes well water significantly harder than city water.
Many homeowners pair a water softener with well water filtration systems like:

Yes. Between energy savings (30%) and extending appliance life, a water softener pays for itself rapidly.
No. A water softener adds a tiny amount of sodium (equal to a slice of bread). You won’t taste it.
Typically every 6-8 weeks, depending on your water usage.
Water softener installation is complex. Incorrect sizing can lead to pressure loss or salt bridging. We recommend professional installation.
No. You need a UV System for bacteria. A softener only removes minerals.
If you have iron, you may need an Iron Breaker combo unit. If you want pure drinking water, we recommend Reverse Osmosis.
