If you’re tired of water spots on dishes, soap scum in the shower, or worn-out appliances, hard water might be the root of the problem. Installing a water softener doesn’t just improve how your water feels—it protects your plumbing, boosts appliance lifespan, and reduces maintenance costs over time.
Turner Plumbing installs high-performance water softeners for homes throughout Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. Whether you’re replacing an old unit or starting from scratch, our team will assess your home’s water usage and install the right solution for long-term comfort and efficiency.
This includes full setup, plumbing connection, programming, testing, and system walkthrough.
We install metered water softeners that regenerate based on actual usage—more efficient and salt-saving than time-based models. We size your system according to:
According to the Water Quality Association (WQA), hard water contains dissolved calcium and magnesium that interfere with soap, cleaning, and plumbing systems. It’s not hazardous to your health, but it can damage your home’s infrastructure.
| Degree of Hardness | Grains per Gallon (gpg) | ppm (mg/L) |
|---|---|---|
| Soft | < 1.0 | < 17.0 |
| Slightly Hard | 1.0 – 3.5 | 17.1 – 60 |
| Moderately Hard | 3.5 – 7.0 | 60 – 120 |
| Hard | 7.0 – 10.5 | 120 – 180 |
| Very Hard | > 10.5 | > 180 |
Northeast Florida homes often fall in the “moderately hard” to “very hard” category.
Citrus-based formula reduces scale without salt—ideal for low-maintenance, eco-friendly homes.
Brine tank softeners remove calcium and magnesium—best for moderate to severe hardness.
Point-of-use filters improve taste and remove sediment—can be paired with softeners.
Softeners remove hardness minerals to prevent scale. Filters remove particulates, chlorine, and odors but do not soften water. Many homeowners benefit from both.
With more than 80 years serving Jacksonville homeowners, we’ve seen what hard water can do—and how the right installation can solve it.
We follow a time-and-materials pricing model, which means you pay for the actual work performed and parts used. There are no flat-rate markups or surprise fees.
We install systems built or assembled in the USA that meet American plumbing standards—ensuring higher quality, more durability, and less chance of failure.
Our technicians aren’t paid to upsell. If your home needs a compact softener, we’ll install that. If repair is possible, we’ll explain why—clearly and without pressure.
If you’re dealing with scale buildup, dry skin, or spotty dishes, Turner Plumbing can help. Our licensed plumbers will guide you through the process and install a high-quality, American-made water softener that fits your home and lifestyle.
