About Fix My Water Softener
A specialist water softener repair, installation, and replacement service — not a general plumbing company treating it as an afterthought.
Why David Miller Only Fixes Water Softeners
I'm David Miller, founder of Fix My Water Softener. I started this company in 2014 after 16+ years working in residential water treatment, because I kept seeing the same thing: general plumbers would glance at a malfunctioning softener, shrug, and recommend a full replacement without actually testing the water or opening the control valve to see what was really wrong.
I built Fix My Water Softener around the opposite idea: pick one system, understand it completely, and get genuinely good at diagnosing exactly why it's failing — a salt bridge, a worn control valve, fouled resin, or a bad brine draw — rather than defaulting to "just replace it" because that's the faster answer. That focus means every call starts with an actual hardness test, not a guess, so you get an honest read on whether a repair or a replacement actually makes sense for your unit.
How a Service Call Actually Goes
Call or book online
Tell us what's happening — hard water, a stuck cycle, or a leak — and we'll give you a same-day or next-day appointment window.
On-site water test & diagnosis
A technician tests your actual water hardness at the tap and inspects the valve, resin, and brine tank before recommending anything.
Upfront pricing
You get a clear price before any work begins — repair or new unit installation, no surprise add-ons after the fact.
Repair or install
Most repairs and standard installations are completed in a single visit, using a properly sized unit when replacement is the better option.
Re-test and walkthrough
Every unit is tested through a full cycle and re-checked for hardness before we consider the job finished, with a quick walkthrough of what to watch for.
What Homeowners Say
New installation after our old unit finally gave out. He tested our actual hardness first instead of just guessing at a size, and walked me through the manual regen button so I know what to try before calling next time.
Downtown Red Wing
Called about a leak under the tank on a Sunday and got someone out same day. Bypass valve seal had failed — quick fix, and he didn't charge an emergency premium like I expected.
along the Mississippi River
Diagnosed a brine tank holding too much water as a stuck injector. Fixed it, though I wish he'd mentioned the part might need reordering before he started — still solid work.
