Water softening
Water softening for hard water
Hard water leaves white scale on faucets and shower glass, spots on your dishes and buildup inside your water heater. Galene installs both salt-based softeners and salt-free conditioners, and your in-home consultation shows which one fits your water.

Questions
Water Softening & Softening Alternative questions
Do I need a softener or a salt-free conditioner?
It depends on your water and what you want from it. A softener removes hardness minerals and gives that soft-water feel; a salt-free conditioner helps prevent scale without salt or regeneration. The in-home consultation shows which fits your home.
Can I replace my old salt softener with a salt-free system?
Yes. Many Galene customers switch from a salt softener. We test your water first to make sure salt-free will meet your goals.
How much maintenance does salt-free need?
There is no salt to add and no regeneration. Your specialist explains any media or filter changes for the system recommended for your home.
Do you work on well water too?
Yes. Well water often needs iron, sulfur or tannin treatment along with softening. See our well water solutions, or request an in-home consultation and we'll check your well.
Not sure which system you need?
Request an in-home consultation. We'll analyze your water and recommend the right fit.
