Hard water is a common issue in York, Pennsylvania, and it can take a serious toll on your home’s plumbing, appliances, and even your skin and hair. At Rehm Plumbing, we provide professional water softener installation and replacement services that help protect your home and improve your water quality—day after day.
If you're seeing mineral buildup on faucets, dealing with soap that won’t lather, or noticing white spots on dishes and glassware, your home likely has hard water. The good news? A professionally installed
water softener system can fix it.
What is Hard Water?
Hard water contains high levels of minerals—mainly calcium and magnesium—that can build up inside your plumbing and appliances. Over time, this buildup (called scale) can reduce efficiency, increase energy bills, and even shorten the lifespan of water-using appliances like water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines.
Common signs of hard water include:
- Chalky white buildup on faucets and showerheads.
- Dry, itchy skin after bathing.
- Dull, brittle hair.
- Stiff, scratchy laundry.
- Reduced water pressure.
- Shortened appliance lifespan.
A
water softener removes these minerals and delivers clean, soft water throughout your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a water softener in York, PA?
Yes—York and much of Central PA have moderately hard to hard water, which can cause scale buildup, plumbing issues, and dry skin. A softener helps protect your home and improve comfort.
Is a salt-free softener better?
It depends. Salt-free systems reduce scale but don’t remove minerals. Salt-based systems provide full softening by eliminating hardness. We’ll help you decide what’s best for your home.
How often do softeners need maintenance?
Salt-based systems need regular salt refills and occasional servicing. We can help with annual checkups or troubleshooting if needed.
Will a softener affect my drinking water?
Not significantly. If you're concerned, we can also recommend a reverse osmosis filter for drinking water along with your softener installation.
