System replacement
Replacing an Old Water System
Softeners and filters wear out, homes change hands with mystery equipment in the garage, and water changes over time. When yours is tired, Galene checks what you have, measures what your water needs now, and gives you an on-the-spot estimate for the replacement installed, with the old system removed.
- Honest repair-or-replace advice
- Old system removed and disposed of
- New system sized to today's water, not the old one
Signs it's time
When a system is past saving.
Some of these can be repaired. Several together usually mean replacement is the better spend.
Scale and taste are back
Softened water that isn't soft, chlorine you can taste again, or stains returning on a well.
Salt use has climbed
A softener that regenerates more often than it used to is losing resin capacity.
Leaks, cracks and dead valves
Control valves, tanks and housings have a service life. Repeated repairs add up to a new system.
It came with the house
No manual, no service history and no idea what it's treating. We'll tell you what it is and whether it fits your water.
What we do
Check, measure, estimate, replace.
The consultation is the same as for a first system, with one extra step.
Inspect the existing system
Brand, age, condition and what it was built to treat.
Analyze today's water
Water changes, and the old system may have been sized for a different household.
Repair or replace
If a repair makes sense we'll say so. If not, you get an on-the-spot estimate for the right new system.
Install and remove
Our crews install the new system, remove the old one and dispose of it. Typically one day.

Questions
Replacing an Old Water System questions
Straight answers. Anything specific to your home gets answered at the consultation.
Can you service a system Galene didn't install?
We can assess it and give you honest advice. Our service plans and parts are for Galene systems, so if yours is another brand the practical path is usually replacement when it fails.
Do you take the old system away?
Yes. Removal and disposal are part of the on-the-spot estimate.
Can I reuse my old plumbing connections?
Often. We check the bypass, drain and connections at the consultation and include anything that needs changing in the estimate.
Old system not keeping up?
Request an in-home consultation. We'll check what you have and give you an on-the-spot estimate for the right replacement installed.
