Water Softening and Water Conditioning
Water Softening and Water Conditioning are processes designed to address water hardness, but they achieve this goal in slightly different ways.
Water Softening:
Method: Water softening primarily focuses on removing or reducing the calcium and magnesium ions responsible for water hardness. This is often done through ion exchange, where calcium and magnesium ions in the water are exchanged with sodium ions.
Device: Water softeners typically use resin beads coated with sodium ions. As water passes through the resin bed, calcium and magnesium ions are attracted to the resin and exchanged for sodium ions, resulting in softened water.
Purpose: The primary goal of water softening is to prevent the negative effects of hard water, such as scale buildup in pipes and appliances, soap scum, and reduced soap
effectiveness.
Water Conditioning:
Method: Water conditioning is a broader term that
encompasses various methods to improve water quality beyond just addressing hardness. While water softening is a form of water conditioning, there are other conditioning methods that may not necessarily remove calcium and magnesium ions.
Devices: Water conditioners can include various systems, such as physical water conditioners that use
electromagnetic fields to alter the behavior of minerals in the water or chemical additives that bind to minerals to prevent them from causing problems.
Purpose: Water conditioning aims to enhance water quality by addressing various issues, including scale formation, corrosion, and other factors that affect the taste, odor, or appearance of the water. It’s a more comprehensive
approach that may involve multiple techniques.

Hugo was excellent!
Sam Miller
Malu did a fantastic job! He was prompt and helped me understand the plumbing in my house. As a first time home buyer this type of maintenance is pretty new. But Malu helped me understand the condition of my pipes, and decide on the option that will last the lifetime of my home. Everything was done quickly and efficiently, which ensured my new home was ready to move into. If your in Olympia I recommend Malu!

David Sanchez, Plumbing Technician, not only is highly skilled, but also superb at analyzing plumbing issues and taking the steps to resolve them. He cares greatly about ensuring the customer’s concerns are addressed and welcomes questions. David cares about his customers. Additionally, he cares about maintaining high standards of practice and is a real asset to the Gene Johnson Company.
In order to properly address my plumbing issue, which included a leak, he assessed the problem and installed new piping. Because I am interested in my house’s plumbing, I enjoyed learning about each step of the repair process. He was very thorough, and got my permission for the additional work. When he was done with the job, he carefully cleaned everything up. I will definitely call the Gene Johnson Company for any future work that may arise.

Brooks and Blake did an excellent job replacing our HVAC system today! They were professional, thorough and courteous. They even went above and beyond by getting rid of a hornets nest for me! Most importantly, my 3 german shepherd pups loved them! Highly recommend!

Your service technician was absolutely delightful. Jaren was very polite, considerate, and kind. He was able to explain things well enough for me to understand and convey the issues to others. He even got a giant wasp out of my house for me. I am allergic and very thankful he was there. Quite physically, a life saver!
I will recommend him to anyone looking.
