Having a top-quality water softener in Lakeland, FL, is a great way to ensure the highest quality water. A softener removes excess minerals from your water, making it no longer hard. Our whole-house water filtration professionals can assess your water and recommend the best filtration system for your needs.
"Our recent experience with Snowbird exceeded our expectations. Skylar did an excellent job determining the issues with our unit and explaining the pros and cons of repairing vs replacing it. They were very kind, courteous and respectful of our property by cleaning up after they were done. Do not hesitate to call Snowbird!"

With over 75% of all U.S. households having hard water, it may be likely that you have it as well. Hard water can take a toll on your home, your body, and even your appliances. Excess magnesium and calcium minerals are known to leave behind a limescale buildup that can prematurely deteriorate your home’s plumbing fixtures and appliances. Hard water can even cause excessive drying of your skin and hair, resulting in frizzy hair.
There are many different components that make up a water softener system, including:
Resin tank
Brine tank
Control valve head
Resin beads
The basic concept behind how a softener works is that it uses the ion exchange process to remove calcium and magnesium from your water. It does this through special resin beads that have sodium to enhance the exchange process. As a homeowner, you’ll simply need to keep up with regular refilling of your softener’s sodium to ensure smooth operation.
If you want to improve your water treatment, you may want to invest in a whole-house water filtration system. This system is installed where water enters your home so that it can be treated before it reaches your appliances and plumbing fixtures. It focuses on removing a wide variety of contaminants from your water.
A whole-home filtration system can remove unwanted contaminants like sulfur, iron, and chlorine. This helps to make your tap water cleaner and taste even better. If you want to get the best quality water possible from your home, then you may want to consider investing in both a water softener and a whole-house water filtration system.

You may notice white mineral spots on glassware, soap scum buildup on fixtures, dry or itchy skin after showering, and reduced lather from soaps and shampoos. Hard water can also lead to stiff laundry and premature wear on water-using appliances.
A water softener uses ion exchange resin beads to remove calcium and magnesium minerals, which are responsible for limescale. By reducing these minerals, your pipes, faucets, and appliances stay free of scale buildup, extending their lifespan and improving efficiency.
You’ll need to refill the brine tank with salt or potassium pellets about once a month (depending on usage), clean the resin tank annually, and schedule a professional inspection every 1–2 years to ensure optimal performance.
Sediment pre-filters typically need changing every 3–6 months, while carbon filters are replaced every 6–12 months. Frequency depends on water quality and household water usage. Snowbird Heating & Cooling can recommend a custom schedule based on your water analysis.
A properly sized system maintains normal flow rates. Any pressure drop is usually minimal and occurs only if filters become clogged. Routine maintenance by Snowbird Heating & Cooling ensures your system runs smoothly without noticeable pressure loss.
Water softening removes hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) to prevent scale, while water filtration targets contaminants like chlorine, iron, and sulfur to improve taste and clarity. Combining both delivers complete whole-home water treatment.
Sodium levels added during ion exchange are typically low. Most households notice no change in water taste or health effects. For sodium-sensitive homes, Snowbird Heating & Cooling offers potassium-based alternatives that achieve the same softening results.
Whole-house systems require precise plumbing and electrical work. Hiring Snowbird Heating & Cooling’s licensed plumbers ensures the installation meets local codes, maintains warranty coverage, and provides optimal long-term performance.

My old AC unit finally called it quits. I called snowbird in the morning for a quote on a new system and were here within 2 hours. They reviewed my old system and discussed what options I would like and what they could provide. Came up with a reasonable estimate and a price we could both agree on. The system was installed the next day. Lots of communication throughout the entire process and made sure I was satisfied with their work before they called the job done.
Response from the owner:Thanks for sharing your experience, Broy. Quick response and clear communication are essential in HVAC service. Glad we could provide a reasonable estimate and install your new system promptly. Enjoy your improved comfort!

Excellent Service
Brian from AC Plus Company did an amazing job! He showed up right on time and kept me updated throughout the entire appointment—from letting me know when he was on his way, to updating me when he picked up the part in Nashville and how long it would take him to return.
He worked in the heat without a single complaint and was incredibly knowledgeable about his work. He also took the time to explain the services and payment process in a way that was easy to understand.
I felt like he genuinely cared about doing the job correctly and efficiently. The repair was completed in a timely manner, and I couldn't be happier with the service.
10/10 would absolutely recommend Brian and AC Plus Company! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Response from the owner:Thanks for your detailed review, Ariel. It's great to hear that Brian provided timely updates and completed the repair efficiently. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
