Crimson Copper Plumbing installs water softeners for homeowners in Chaska and Shakopee. Hard water leaves white buildup on faucets and makes soap harder to rinse off. We see it in older homes with original plumbing and newer construction alike. A water softener treats the mineral content before it reaches your fixtures.
One real-world example is when hard water minerals wear down a faucet cartridge’s rubber seals. After installing the software, fixtures often stop leaking and run more smoothly. Other benefits usually become noticeable too, such as glass shower doors that clean more easily, without scrubbing.
While a softener addresses hardness from calcium and magnesium, we address other water quality issues (lead, chlorine, microbes) by pairing them with carbon filtration or reverse osmosis water systems.

What Water Softener Installation Involves
We start by testing your water to confirm hardness levels and check the main supply line size. Most MN homes in this area test at 20-26 grains per gallon. Anything over 7 means you’ll benefit from treatment.
The unit goes near your water heater, usually in the garage or utility room. We tap into the main line before it splits to the rest of the house. That way every fixture gets treated water. The drain line runs to your floor drain or standpipe. Some older homes require a new drain line installation, which we verify during the site visit.
Once the lines are connected, we program the control head based on your household size and water usage. The system regenerates on a schedule, typically at 2 a.m., when nobody’s using water. We test a few faucets after installation to make sure the hardness dropped where it should.
Common Signs You Need a Water Softener:
Soap scum builds up on shower walls even after cleaning
White crust forms around faucet aerators and showerheads
Water heater makes crackling sounds from mineral buildup
Clothes feel stiff after washing
Skin feels dry and itchy after showering
Coffee maker or dishwasher develops scale deposits
Why Chaska and Shakopee Homes Need Water Softeners
The water supply in Chaska and Shakopee picks up calcium and magnesium as it moves through the ground. That’s just geology. Those minerals don’t hurt you, but they wreck plumbing fixtures and water heaters. Scale builds up inside pipes over time, reducing flow and putting extra strain on the system.
We’ve replaced water heaters that were only eight years old because sediment filled the bottom third of the tank. A softener prevents that. It also cuts down on soap and detergent use since soft water lathers better. Most people notice the difference in the shower within a day or two.
Crimson Copper Plumbing has been installing water softeners in MN for years. We work with several manufacturers and recommend systems based on your water test results and household size. If you’re building new construction, we can rough in the plumbing before the drywall goes up. For existing homes, the installation typically takes 3-4 hours.
