Frequently Asked Questions
How hard is the water in Newmarket, and is a softener worth it?
York Region's annual water quality reports consistently show Newmarket's municipal water in the moderately hard range — typically 120–170 mg/L depending on season and source. That's hard enough to cause visible scale on fixtures within a few years and meaningful appliance degradation over a decade. For a home with standard appliances, a softener typically pays for itself through extended appliance life and reduced energy costs within 3–5 years. For a newer Newmarket home with premium finishes and a tankless water heater, the case is even stronger.
I just bought a home in Stonehaven. Should I install a water softener right away?
Yes — ideally before scale has time to accumulate in your new appliances and the tankless or tank water heater. New appliances in hard water start accumulating scale immediately. Getting a softener installed in the first year of ownership protects everything from day one. It's much easier to prevent scale than to remove it from appliances that have been running on hard water for years.
Will soft water feel slippery, and is that normal?
Yes, softened water has a slightly slippery or silky feel, especially when washing your hands or showering. This is not a coating or residue — it's the absence of the mineral hardness that previously interfered with soap lathering. Soft water rinses soap completely, while hard water leaves a thin mineral-soap film on skin. Most people adapt to the feeling quickly and prefer it. If the sensation is very pronounced, the softener may need recalibration — we set it to your actual hardness level so you're not over-softening.
Can I keep drinking the softened water from my kitchen tap?
Yes, softened water is safe to drink. The sodium added through ion exchange is minimal — for Newmarket's water hardness, roughly 30–50 mg of additional sodium per litre, which is less than what's in a serving of most breakfast cereals. If you're on a medically low-sodium diet or simply prefer the taste of unsoftened or filtered water, we can install a bypass tap at the kitchen sink that delivers unsoftened water for drinking, or pair the softener with an under-sink RO system for drinking water.
How long will a water softener last, and does it need regular maintenance?
A well-maintained water softener typically lasts 15–20 years. Maintenance is minimal: keep the brine tank supplied with softener salt, clean the resin tank every 1–2 years with a softener cleaner, and have a plumber inspect the unit every few years. We offer service calls for Newmarket-area softeners we've installed and for units installed by others that need servicing or repair.
Do I need a permit for water softener installation in Newmarket?
A building permit is not required for a water softener installation in most cases in Newmarket. However, the plumbing connections must be made by a licensed plumber under Ontario's plumbing regulations. The Plumbing Nerds handle all installations with a licensed Red Seal plumber — our work meets the Ontario Plumbing Code and will pass any inspection. If your specific situation requires any permits, we'll let you know upfront.
