Fresno’s mineral-rich groundwater keeps lawns green but leaves faucets spotted, pipes crusted, and appliances struggling. A professionally sized water softener removes excess calcium and magnesium before they reach your fixtures, extending the life of every plumbing component in your house. When you partner with CountBricks, you pair proven residential construction know-how with AI-powered estimating that makes budgeting as clear as your new glassware.
• Scale buildup inside water heaters raises energy bills by up to 29 % because heating elements must work harder
• Mineral deposits shorten dishwasher and washing-machine lifespans by several years
• Soap scum forces homeowners to use up to 50 % more detergent and cleaning products
• Dry skin and dull hair are everyday complaints when dissolved minerals remain untreated

6. Commissioning & Training: Water hardness is tested on site, regeneration cycles are programmed, and homeowners receive maintenance reminders via the CountBricks app.
The most common sizing misstep is focusing on grain capacity alone. CountBricks software considers three factors simultaneously:
• Daily household water use based on fixture count and occupancy
• Source hardness levels measured in grains per gallon (gpg) from recent city water reports
• Regeneration frequency that balances salt efficiency with long-term resin health
Our AI cross-references these variables against thousands of successful installs logged in the CountBricks database, recommending the exact capacity that minimizes salt yet guarantees soft water seven days a week.
Older Fresno homes often use galvanized lines that have accumulated mineral plaque for decades. Simply installing a softener won’t dissolve this buildup overnight. CountBricks technicians inspect for flow restrictions and, when necessary, flush or replace sections with PEX. This proactive approach prevents post-softener pressure drops and ensures you enjoy the full benefits immediately.
Because CountBricks estimates are built from realtime supplier APIs, you’ll see live pricing on:
• Water softener unit and brine tank
• Bypass and shut-off valves
• Copper or PEX fittings and stub-outs
• Salt (initial charge)
• Permit fees and disposal of old equipment if applicable
You can lock the price for 14 days directly through CountBricks.com/portfolio, then schedule installation with a single tap.
CountBricks doesn’t disappear after the last pipe is tightened. The same AI platform that generated your estimate keeps track of regeneration cycles and salt consumption. You’ll receive proactive reminders to refill salt, change sediment filters, or schedule a resin cleaning service.
• Choose solar salt pellets over rock salt to reduce bridging and valve wear
• Install a sediment pre-filter if your well produces silt or sand
• Program vacation mode to pause regeneration when the house is empty and save on water
• Keep the brine tank at least one-third full to prevent hard crust formation
• Test water hardness yearly; the Central Valley’s aquifer can fluctuate with drought conditions

When the Rivera family noticed white residue on their new matte-black fixtures, they requested a CountBricks voice consultation. Our AI recorded a five-minute conversation detailing three full bathrooms, a large laundry room, and a demand for 320 gallons per day. The system recommended a 40,000-grain unit with high-efficiency settings.
• Blueprint takeoff identified an unused stud bay behind the garage washing machine, eliminating the need for exterior cabinetry
• Materials were procured within 24 hours using CountBricks’ supplier link, trimming $180 from the budget compared with last year’s averages
• On installation day, the pre-cut PEX loop reduced water shutoff time to 22 minutes, avoiding disruption to the household’s remote-work schedules
1. Post-install hardness dropped from 19 gpg to less than 1 gpg
2. Energy consumption on the tankless heater decreased 11 % within the first billing cycle
