Water Softener Installations in Orillia & North Bay — Protect Your Pipes, Appliances, and Fixtures

Hard water may be invisible — but it’s doing damage. If you’ve noticed soap scum, cloudy glassware, stiff laundry, or scale in your kettle, it’s time to consider a water softener.

At Poly-B Plumbing, we provide licensed water softener installations for homes, cottages, and rural properties. We size your system correctly, install it to code, and make sure it works with your water source — whether that’s a municipal line or a private well.

What Hard Water Does to Your Home

Buildup in pipes and on heating elements

White scale on showerheads and fixtures

Dry skin and brittle hair

Faded laundry and soap inefficiency

Shorter lifespan for water heaters, dishwashers, and kettles

Clogged aerators and valves

You don’t need to live with it. A properly installed softener can solve the issue — and protect everything downstream.

Step 3

Water Softener FAQs

How do I know if I need a softener?

If you have white buildup on fixtures, itchy skin, or hard-to-lather soap — you’re likely dealing with hard water. We can test it on-site.

Do softeners remove iron or sulfur?

Not on their own. We can add sediment, carbon, or iron filters if needed based on your water source.

How often do I add salt?

Usually every 12- 16 weeks depending on usage. We’ll show you how during the walkthrough.

Can I install it myself?

Softener installs involve plumbing, drainage, and code compliance. Professional installation protects your home and warranty.
