Soft water is water that has had minerals like calcium and magnesium removed. These minerals are naturally present in hard water, which is common in many areas. A Titan Water System treats water as it enters your home, removing these hard minerals before the water flows through your pipes and appliances. In our experience, soft water is defined as having less than 1 grain per gallon (gpg) of hardness minerals, while hard water has 3.5-7 gpg. Titan's whole-home water filtration systems provide both water softening and conditioning, ensuring the healthiest water for all household uses.

The slippery feeling you experience with soft water is actually the sensation of truly clean skin. A Titan water system eliminates impurities, leaving no mineral residue on your skin to trap soap, dead skin cells, or other particles. This absence of residue also prevents skin dryness. Soft water allows soaps to lather more effectively and rinse off completely, similar to how it prevents water spots on glassware and silverware. As a result, you'll likely find that you need to use less soap for the same cleaning effect. Call us today to learn more about using home water softener systems.

Home water softening systems only require enough salt to perform a regeneration cycle. We advise filling the salt bin to no more than half its capacity to prevent salt bridging. It's important to note that the amount of salt does not affect water cleanliness. The salt's primary function is to clean the resin that softens the water during the regeneration process.

Contrary to common belief, salt itself doesn't soften water. Home water softener systems use negatively charged ion exchange resin beads to filter out hard water minerals. These resin beads become charged when mixed with a sodium or potassium solution. During the softening process, the resin collects and removes hardness from your water. The Titan Water System not only softens water but also eliminates chlorine taste and odors often present in municipally treated water. The term "regeneration" refers to the process of cleaning and recharging the resin with the sodium solution.

Yes, you can safely drink your tap water after it has been processed by your Titan Water System. Our system not only softens the water but also removes unpleasant odors, tastes, and chemicals, resulting in water quality comparable to bottled water. Contact us today for more information about our quality home water filtration systems.

The presence of water in your salt tank is normal and expected. This water, known as brine, is part of the system's self-regulating process. The water filtration system is designed to maintain the appropriate amount of water in the brine tank. However, if you suspect a leak, please contact Titan Water Solutions for assistance.

No, it's not possible to adjust the softness of your water. The water softening process removes minerals to a specific degree, resulting in consistently soft water. Home water softener systems are designed to remove minerals to the optimal level for household use.

Titan Care provides a bimonthly service schedule. Our technicians visit every other month to replenish your salt supply and conduct a comprehensive system check to ensure optimal performance of your water filtration system.

This pink/orange slime is an airborne bacteria called Seratia Marcesens. For more info on S. Marcesens you can go here.

This phenomenon is quite common in Florida for several reasons. According to GlobeNewswire, a research firm, millions of Americans are exposed to water that doesn't meet EPA standards. It's easy to assume water quality is the cause of seemingly associated issues. However, it's not always the water that's responsible for any unpleasant odors. There's an effective way to determine whether the issue lies with the water or the drains.

Unlike well systems, where sulfur is the culprit, if sulfur is present, all the water in the home will consistently smell. This is less likely with city water, as it's heavily treated with chemicals like chlorine and chloramine, which eliminate sulfur bacteria.

The most frequent cause of odor is the drains. For example, let's say you turn on the water and experience a sewage smell that dissipates in about 30 seconds, which usually occurs in bathroom sinks, like those in a master bathroom. This happens because the drain line uses an S-trap, which doesn't vent sewer gas through the roof. 

There's a vent cap beneath the sink, and when you turn on the water, sewer gas trapped in that vent escapes through the drain, leading to the odor that you mistakenly attribute to the water. Refer to the diagram (diagram link needs to be provided) to see the difference between an S-trap and a P-trap.

If you own or operate a home water softener, you may notice a layer of dirt or grime forming inside the tank. It can appear gray or foamy, which might be a little unsettling, but it's completely normal.

In our experience, this buildup occurs because water softener salt is not 100% pure; it naturally contains some impurities. Additionally, dirt or grime can be present in the water before it's filtered.

It's important to know that a small amount of dirt in your brine tank is perfectly normal. The brine water never enters your home, and our water softeners are designed to filter out any dirt before it reaches your water supply. However, some customers choose to wipe out their system occasionally for added reassurance.
