Water Softener Systems in Southern Calgary
Protect your home from hard water and enjoy softer, better-quality water
Our whole house water softener, water filter, and reverse osmosis systems are designed for the water conditions found in Calgary and surrounding communities, helping protect your plumbing, appliances, and everyday water use.
The Smart Approach to Clean, Conditioned Calgary Water
Why choose between a filtration system and a water softener when you can have both? The Chlor-A-Soft™ Series high efficiency water softener from Excalibur Water Systems is the top-selling municipal water combination system that blends two medias together, providing soft water plus chlorine and chemical filtration, all in one system.
All of these hard water issues can be solved with a Chlor-A-Soft™ Series Water Softener Plus. The life of your appliances will be extended, your dishware will shine, and your clothing will be bright and clean.
Your water may look clear, but all municipal water contains chemicals that can pose a danger to your health. The Chlor-A-Soft™ Series removes unwanted chlorine, chemicals, THM's, and VOC's from your municipal water supply; providing safe, filtered water for you and your family.
Quick Answer: What Does a Water Softener Do?
A water softener removes calcium and magnesium minerals that cause hard water. This helps prevent scale buildup, protect plumbing and appliances, and deliver consistent water performance throughout the home.
What is a Water Softener system?
A water softener is a whole-home water treatment system installed at the main water entry point. It works by removing hardness minerals—primarily calcium and magnesium—from your water supply.
These minerals are responsible for scale buildup in pipes and appliances. A water softener helps prevent this buildup, improving efficiency and protecting your home over time.

How does a Water Softener work?
Our high-efficiency systems manage your home's water quality through an automated, multiphase cycle that balances performance with minimal water waste.
Capture
Hard water flows through a tank filled with specialized resin beads. These beads attract and hold calcium and magnesium — the minerals responsible for scale buildup.
Exchange
As hardness minerals attach to the resin, they are replaced with a small amount of sodium or potassium. This exchange process is what creates softened water.
Distribution
This softened water then flows to every tap, shower, and appliance in your home.
Regeneration
Periodically, the system performs an automatic recharge cycle. A brine solution cleans the resin beads by flushing out the captured hardness minerals, restoring the system's softening capacity.

View SystemCommon Problems Caused by Hard Water
Hard water affects both comfort and efficiency throughout your home. If you notice the signs below, your water may exceed the 7–10 gpg (Hard Water) threshold common across Southern Calgary.
Appliance Longevity: Hard water can shorten the life of your appliances and increase energy costs significantly.
Laundry Quality: It prevents your clothes from being cleaned properly, no matter how much detergent you use.
Limescale Deposits: Causes deposits like limescale to cling to your dishes, shower doors, and fixtures, causing a permanent cloudy appearance.
Cleanup Difficulty: Increases your chances of having soap scum and mineral buildup in your bathroom and kitchen, which means more time and money spent cleaning.
Plumbing Strain: Can lead to plumbing issues in your home by constricting the flow of water in your pipes over time.
Personal Comfort: Hard water minerals often lead to dry, itchy skin and brittle hair after every shower.
The "Fingerprint" Test
If you wipe a chrome faucet and a white ring reappears within 24 hours, your water is likely in the "Hard" to "Very Hard" range.
How to know which Water Softener is Right for your Home
Not all water softeners are created equal. In Southern Calgary, a one-size-fits-all approach can lead to inconsistent water pressure, inefficient regeneration, or unnecessary salt usage. Choosing the right system depends on three critical factors:
Your Water Source
Homes connected to city water typically require systems designed primarily for hardness removal. Private well homes may require systems capable of handling higher or fluctuating hardness levels.
Household Demand
A family of five in a detached home requires a different capacity than a single professional in a townhome. Proper sizing helps maintain consistent pressure.
Hardness Level
A system calibrated for Calgary's average ~15 gpg would not perform optimally in areas reporting 20+ gpg. Configuration must match your actual grain count.
Expert Insight: A professional water test ensures the system is properly sized — avoiding under-performance or unnecessary salt and water consumption.
How Does a Reverse Osmosis System in Calgary Improve Tap Water?
Standard carbon filters only improve smell and taste, but a high-efficiency reverse osmosis system in Calgary physically strips out microscopic contaminants. By forcing municipal water through an ultra-fine, semipermeable membrane, it filters out up to 99% of dissolved solids, heavy metals, fluoride, lead, and chemical residues.
Pairing this point-of-use purification with an under sink water filter in Calgary delivers pure, bottle-quality water right to your kitchen faucet. This combination is popular among Calgary area homeowners looking for cleaner drinking water.
