Whole Home Chlorine Removal:

Chlorine is a nasty but necessary chemical used to disinfect municipal water supplies. Although it's good for killing bacteria, it's bad for your skin and your health. Over-the-counter chlorine filters for your shower and sink only can do so much before they themselves get overrun with bacteria and buildup. Our unique Whole Home Chlorine Filter removes chlorine for the ENTIRE home so you never have to change another filter again. Plus, it cleans itself automatically it truly is low-maintenance.

Water Hardness Removal:

We all know the telltale signs of hard water. Just like flies in the springtime, those pesky hard water spots, scale in the bathtub, and embarrassing cloudiness on the wine glasses keep coming back again and again. Advanced Water Solutions offers a variety of hardness removal systems that ensure sparkling drinking glasses, clear shower glass, soft skin and hair, and lots of suds in your bubble bath (of course now you'll have time to be IN the tub, instead of scrubbing the tub).

What are the Benefits of Soft Water?

If you live in Carpinteria, our experience shows that you most likely have hard water in your home. That includes homes both on city water or a well. As a homeowner, it seems like there is always something to do to keep our house clean and presentable. However, with hard water we never realized how much time and money we were wasting each week.

The Benefits:

  1. Having soft water saves you money. According to a study by the Battelle Institute, you use up to 75% less soap and fewer cleaning products with soft water. Considering the soap and detergent aisle is the most expensive aisle in the grocery store, your budget will immediately reflect the savings!
  2. Your plumbing will last longer. Hard water can cause a build up of scale from mineral deposits. Over time, pipes and fixtures can clog, water flow can diminish, and water pressure can be reduced. This doesn't happen with soft water. Soft water is low in mineral content and therefore doesn't leave deposits in the pipes.
  3. Your hot water heater will last longer. Scale and lime build-up created by minerals will not take place if your water is soft. This adds life to your hot water heater. Also, if you have deposits in your hot water heater, the University of New Mexico found it will cost up to 29.6% more to heat the water that your family does use.
  4. Diminished razor burn and less dry, cracked skin: Soft water causes the razor to glide more easily across the face. This, in turn, causes your razor blades to last longer. Hard water minerals can also build up on your skin. You know that “squeaky” clean feeling after a shower? Well that's not the feel of your natural skin. Often it's the result of minerals bonding with your soap to stick to your skin.
  5. Water-using appliances will last longer. Whether it's your coffee pot, humidifier, or hot tub, your hard water is causing a build-up of minerals and reducing the life of these products.

In the Kitchen:

  • Shiny, spotless dishes and glasses
  • Sparkling-clean sinks
  • Longer life for plumbing and appliances
  • Cleaner dishwasher with no scale buildup

In the Bathroom:

  • Cleaner fixtures with no soap-scum buildup
  • Stain-free sinks, tubs, and showers
  • Softer skin and more manageable hair
  • Use less shampoo and conditioners

In the Laundry:

  • Wash is fresher, cleaner, and brighter
  • Longer life for washing machine
  • Use less detergent
  • Softer clothes

Carpinteria is a small oceanside city located in southeastern Santa Barbara County, California, east of Santa Barbara and northwest of Ventura. Since 1987, the California Avocado Festival has been held in Carpinteria on the first weekend of October. The Santa Barbara Polo Club is also located in Carpinteria. The city is also home to Hollandia Produce, an organic produce company with 70 employees. Carpinteria Beach is known for its gentle slope and calm waves in selected sandy areas but also good surfing swells in some of the more rocky areas. Seals and sea lions can be seen in the area December through May at the rookery in the nearby Carpinteria Bluffs, as well as an occasional gray whale. A popular campground is located adjacent to the beach. There is bird watching at Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve, established in 1977 and administered by the Natural Reserve System of the University of California.

There are Potentially Unhealthy Contaminants in Your Water You Don't Want in Your Body

Did you know the safe drinking water act of 1974, which dictates the quality of water that you are legally allowed to get out of your tap, regulates less than 100 water contaminants. However the EPA estimates there are around 60,000 chemicals in the US right now. Just think about all of the medicines and prescriptions we take, pass through our system, and then end up back in our drinking water unregulated. My point isn’t to scare you, just to educate you about how we’ve been helping people improve their water by making it healthier. An Carpinteria Water Softener system is important for a home because it includes the health of everyone living in it. Softened water is such a necessity these days especially since clean drinking water is so critical for survival. To reduce contaminants in your water up to 98% we have high quality Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter systems available along with our dedicated service and maintenance. We also offer sediment filters, carbon filters (to remove chlorine and odors), Ultraviolet Lights (to kill living organisms), and even Water Ionizers to provide alkaline water.

Soft Water FAQs

How is the "hardness" of water measured?

The hardness of water is measured in grains per gallon (gpg). One grain of hardness is equal to 1 / 7,000 pound of rock. Your municipal water supply may measure water hardness in milligrams (mg), liters (L) or parts per million (ppm). One gpg is equal to 17.1 mg / L or 17.1 ppm.

What does the grain capacity of a water softener mean?

The rated capacity of a softener is the maximum number of grains of water hardness the unit can remove prior to regeneration.

How do these numbers impact my water softener purchase?

To determine the appropriate water softener size for your home, multiply the number of people in your home by the gallons of water they use each day. (80 gallons per person is the average.) Multiply that number by the grains of hardness in your water to figure out how many grains need to be removed each day. Then, shop for a water softener equipped to handle the load. Most four-person households use a 33,000-grain unit.

How much electricity does a water softener use?

It uses about as much as a digital alarm clock.

What type of salt should I use?
  • There are several different types of salt that is sold for water softeners. We recommend using solar salt.
  • Solar or coarse salt has far less insoluble matter than rock salt. We sell and can deliver salt should you need it.
What is the difference between salt and potassium?
  • Sodium chloride, known as salt, is a naturally occurring mineral.
  • Potassium chloride (KCL) is also a salt and functions exactly the same in your water softener as sodium chloride.
  • Potassium chloride is a naturally occurring mineral that is primarily used in agriculture. It promotes plant growth and conditions soil.
  • It is safe to use on your plants; whereas sodium chloride is not.
Where do I add the salt or potassium?
  • Lift the lid and add to the tank. Do NOT add to small white tube inside the tank. Keep salt level below the top of the white tube inside the tank.
  • The salt or potassium (KCL) is added to the brine tank. This is a short round or square plastic tank with a lid on it and is usually black.
The level of salt or potassium is not going down and I have hard water.
  • Humidity or wrong type of salt may create a cavity between the water and the salt. This action, known as “bridging”, prevents the brine solution from being made, leading to your water supply being hard.
  • If you suspect salt bridging, carefully pound on the outside of the brine tank or pour some warm water over the salt to break up the bridge. This should always be followed up by allowing the unit to use up any remaining salt and then thoroughly cleaning out the brine tank. Remember to add water to the brine tank after cleaning.
  • Allow four hours to produce a brine solution, and then manually regenerate the softener.
Why is there a loss of water pressure?
See Manual
Do I still use the same amount of soap?
No, you will want to use 3/4 the amount of detergents and soaps than you did with hard water.
What if there has been a power outage?
See Manual
Why is there water in the brine tank?
  • On some models, the brine tank will always have water in it. This is the brine solution that will be used during the regeneration.
  • If the brine tank is more than half full the system may need servicing.
What do I have to do when I switch from salt to potassium or vice - versa?
This depends on a few factors:
  1. Amount of chlorine/chloramines in the supply water. (Chlorine shortens resin life) Chlorine can be removed with a carbon pre-filter. Average life span with a carbon pre-filter is 11-15 years.
  2. Resin Quality. Average life span without carbon filter is 7-9 years.
  3. How often the system regenerates.
When do I have to replace the water softening resin?
This depends on a few factors.
  1. Amount of chlorine/chloramines in the supply water. (Chlorine shortens resin life) Chlorine can be removed with a carbon pre-filter. Average life span with a carbon pre-filter is 11-15 years.
  2. Resin Quality. Average life span without carbon filter is 7-9 years.
  3. How often the system regenerates.
