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.

Throughout our project Andrew was willing to do the little (and big) things to make sure everything was done right. There were a few unexpected challenges once he got started and he did a great job of explaining the options to us and doing the right thing, even when it meant more time and effort. We feel confident that everything was done to a high standard.

Rory, Eugene, and Tyler did an outstanding job replacing a water line for us. They were professional, knowledgeable, and they clearly explained everything that needed to be done. They completed the project, solving our leak problem in a very timely manner. The communication by the entire team was excellent. I highly recommend Rory, Eugene, Tyler and the entire Gene Johnson team.

Jaren replaced my aged water heater very efficiently. I know it was a hard job and I appreciated his knowledge as he explained what needed to be done. I will definitely call again when needed. Thanks Jaren

Armando did an excellent job fixing the pipe that had roots stuck in it, which had prevented us from using both of our toilets. He communicated clearly and thoroughly about what he was doing from start to finish. He completed the entire job in just one day, allowing us to regain full toilet access. I highly recommend Gene Johnson Johnson 100%! Thank you, Armando, for doing such a wonderful job!

Joe was awesome, super knowledgeable and helpful!

Darius came out today to deal with our toilet repair issue. This company has great communication, quick response time, and although I was not expecting a repair expense at this time I felt it was a fair price for what was needed. Darius is courteous, professional and just a fantastic person. Very respectful of our place, fixed what was needed and left it clean and tidy. This is the second time I needed Gene Johnson Plumbing for our house and I highly recommend them for yours. Cheers.

Amazing service today. Not only did Hugo get the job (an ice maker line installation) done well, he went above and beyond cleaning and making sure everything was perfect. He also had a smile the whole time and a great sense of humor.

Service was timely, efficient, and well communicated. Out technician, Mark Ochoa was polite, knowledgeable, friendly, and got the job done well. We consistently only call Gene Johnson for our plumbing issues and have recommended them to others including my mom.

Hugo fixed a leaky wax ring at my house and was very knowledgable! He helped me winterize my hose spigot and provided me info about how to close the water main for the house which i had been wondering about!
Lee Gingras
Gene Johnson is always top notch. Recently, I called them in for a second opinion after a competitor couldn’t clear our drains and told us to spend $15k to dig up the wrong part of the yard. In contrast, Mark Ochoa and Colton cleared the backup, investigated throughly to find the actual problem, walked us through videos to make we understood, and provided two options along with detailed quotes. They’re great and I’ll never cheat on them again.
Gregory Mihara
They are very efficient, hardworking and completed the job as planned. They offered 60 mo no interest finance too.

Jenny Elsey
I called Gene Johnson Services because it was an emergency and I am so glad that I found them because our emergency was fixed less than 24 hours later. Andrew was great! He went above and beyond to not only resolve our initial problem but he also wanted to make sure that our plumbing was overall functioning well.

Excellent experience. My technician was a great comedian and helped to ease the pain of plumbing issues. I will be using this company again. My pipes under my kitchen sink look marvelous.
