What is Water Softening?
In Colorado Springs, a water softener is a device designed to remove minerals like calcium and magnesium from your water supply. These minerals are notorious for causing buildup in your plumbing, leading to scale, reduced water flow, and decreased appliance efficiency over time.
They can also affect your hair, skin, clothes, towels, and dishes, causing discoloration or an unusual feel that’s hard to ignore. Water softening solves these problems by replacing hard minerals with sodium or potassium ions through a proven chemical process.

When something’s wrong with your HVAC or plumbing, you don’t have to figure it out alone! Big Cat will come diagnose what’s happening, explain it clearly, and give you options that actually make sense. Let’s get to the bottom of it together.
How Water Softening Systems Work
Water softeners operate by swapping out hard water minerals with sodium or potassium ions, resulting in soft water that’s gentler on your skin, hair, and appliances. This happens through a chemical process that takes place automatically within the water softening system in your Colorado Springs home.
You won’t have to worry about anything except basic maintenance, which we’ll show you how to handle. The process runs automatically and provides consistently soft water throughout your home without any effort on your part.
