Best Water Softener Repair Cost Estimates In The Twin Cities Metro

Your water softener relies on salt to remove hard minerals from your water. If the salt level isn’t going down, it could mean:

• A salt bridge has formed—a hard crust that prevents the salt from dissolving properly.
• The brine tank is clogged, stopping the system from cycling.
• The softener isn’t regenerating correctly, which could be due to a stuck valve or a mechanical issue.

If you’re noticing spots on dishes, dry skin, or soap that won’t lather, your softener may not be softening. Some common culprits include:

• Low salt levels—check to make sure your tank isn’t empty.
• A clogged resin bed—mineral buildup can stop your system from working efficiently.
• System settings off—if your home’s water usage has changed, your softener may need adjustments.

Bonfe’s team can diagnose the issue and get your softener back to doing what it does best—delivering soft, clean water to your home.

Most water softeners last 10-15 years, but they may need repairs along the way—especially if you use a lot of water or have hard water buildup. Regular maintenance can help extend your softener’s lifespan and prevent costly breakdowns.

If your softener is acting up (or it’s been a while since a check-up), Bonfe’s experts are here to help. Call us today to schedule a water softener repair!
