5 Star Service is the Magic Way

It is very easy to schedule an appointment with Magic Plumbing. The plumbers/technicians are courteous and very knowledgeable. I recently needed a couple of plumbing things done and those were done quickly and perfectly.

Awesome plumbing company will definitely reach out in the future if needed and recommend to family and friends. The entire staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I had Bernardino Merino come out to assist a couple of times and he was a pleasure. Both times he was incredibly efficient with helping fix the issues in my bathroom. I’ve dealt with plenty of plumbing companies in the past and I’m happy to finally have found a reliable one with amazing staff and incredibly affordable prices. Thank you so much!!

I needed work done on my leaking shower that a previous plumber had tried to fix three times… Adam Goldman from Magic Plumbing came right away and did a superb job! Can’t recommend these guys highly enough.

After calling at 3pm on a Thursday, I was pleasantly surprised when someone could come to our apartment for a clogged shower in just a couple of hours. Alberto Alegria quickly and professionally fixed a clog in our shower that I had already attempted, and failed, to clear myself. He could not have been friendlier and more pleasant to my husband and I, even helping us to troubleshoot some loose handles and a clogged air vent in our bathroom! If I were in need of a handyman, I would hire Alberto in a heartbeat, he was wonderful! Thank you Magic Plumbing and team!

How Does a Water Softener Work?

We call water “hard” when it has high levels of magnesium, calcium, and other minerals. Water becomes hard from the soil and rock surrounding it. When hard water enters your home, it can taste bad, damage your plumbing, and create other household problems.

A water softener works by running the hard water through a separate tank filled with salt. The salt creates what is known as a brine solution and will neutralize the magnesium and calcium in the hard water, making it safe to drink and better all around for your home.

Why Is Hard Water Bad?

While almost everyone will agree that hard water has a bad taste and smell, that is not its worst effect. Some of the more damaging products of hard water include:

Difficulty Washing: Hard water makes it more difficult for soaps to lather. With hard water, you will have more difficulty washing dishes, doing laundry, and even showering. Hard water creates a sticky scum that is also hard to clean off.
Scale: Your plumbing is also at risk with hard water. Scale is the dissolved calcium and magnesium that will build up in your plumbing, putting your water heater, pipes, and other plumbing units at risk of being clogged or damaged by the scale.

Signs you Could Benefit from a Water Softener

If you experience any of the following signs in your home, you could benefit from a water softener:

Noticing scale buildup on your fixtures
Yellow or brown stains on your clothes when they come out of the wash
Bad-smelling and tasting water
Difficulty getting soap to lather

If you experience any of these issues, call the experts at Magic Plumbing right away. Our experts can assess your plumbing and water and recommend the best water-softening system for you.

Finding the Right Water Softener System for Your San Francisco Home

Water softeners come in a variety of types, each with its own unique approach to tackling hard water issues.

Salt-based ion exchange systems are widely popular, utilizing resin beads to attract and capture hard minerals like calcium and magnesium, replacing them with sodium ions. This process significantly mitigates the buildup of scale in pipes and appliances.

On the other hand, salt-free systems crystallize these minerals, preventing them from adhering to surfaces without altering the water’s chemical composition.

For those seeking the purest form of water, reverse osmosis, or RO systems, offer a more robust solution by filtering water through a semi-permeable membrane, which removes contaminants and softens the water simultaneously.

These systems offer homeowners a range of options to boost water quality, catering to various needs and preferences.
