About Gallaghers Pump Service in Monroe, CT

Yes, absolutely. Hard water is common in our area and causes sediment to accumulate in your water heater, reducing efficiency and lifespan. Our whole-home water purification systems, which we install and maintain, soften the water by removing minerals like calcium and magnesium before they reach your heater. This prevents sediment buildup, improves heater performance, and can significantly extend its life.

First, turn off the water supply valves behind the machine immediately to prevent water damage. Then, call us for a professional plumbing inspection. We'll assess the leak, which is often due to worn rubber hoses—a frequent issue in local homes. We can replace them with durable, braided stainless steel hoses and check your entire laundry connection system to ensure there are no other vulnerabilities, helping you avoid costly future leaks.

Regular maintenance, including cleaning and salt delivery, is crucial for systems in our area due to the mineral content in the local water supply. Without it, the system's resin bed can become fouled with iron or sediment, and the brine tank can develop a hard salt crust ('bridging'). This leads to inefficient softening, wasted salt, and hard water damaging your appliances. Our scheduled maintenance keeps your system working optimally, protecting your pipes, water heater, and fixtures from Monroe's hard water.
