Water Softener Installation, Replacement, and Repair
Serving Indianapolis & Surrounding Areas
Comprehensive Water Softener Services
Installation, replacement, repair, and maintenance by a licensed pro
Hard water shortens appliance life, leaves scale on fixtures, and drives up soap use. I provide start-to-finish solutions: new installations, unit replacements, valve repairs, resin rebeds, and performance tune-ups—sized to your water chemistry and household demand.
With over 25 years in plumbing, I began installing softeners and water heaters in 1995 and earned my Journeyman License in 1999. As an independent contractor, I deliver personalized service with lower overhead, often saving homeowners about $250 compared to the regional industry average.
Ion exchange systems designed for efficiency and reliability
Ion-exchange resin beads capture hardness minerals and release sodium or potassium; a brine cycle regenerates the media for the next run. I recommend meter-demand systems that regenerate only as needed, with high-efficiency settings to reduce salt and water use.
Proper design considers grain capacity, peak flow rate, and pressure drop, plus factors like iron, manganese, chlorine or chloramine, and sediment. Options include 8% or 10% cross-link resin, upflow brining, twin-tank units for uninterrupted soft water, and carbon prefiltration when required.
From water testing to follow-up care, you’re covered end to end
First, I test your water for hardness (gpg), iron, TDS, and pH, then right-size a system for your family’s usage. You’ll receive a written, line-item proposal covering equipment, installation materials, code-compliant drain and overflow routing, and haul-away of old equipment.
Pricing is straightforward with good, better, and best options plus clear warranties. Because I operate without big-company overhead, most homeowners see an average $250 savings versus the regional industry average while still getting premium components and meticulous workmanship.
After installation, I set valve programming, sanitize the system, and show you how to check salt, use the bypass, and read the display. I offer annual tune-ups, brine-tank cleaning, resin and injector service, and quick response if you ever experience bridging, channeling, or low flow.

Maribeth Gossard2025-08-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Parkhurst plumbing. Larry is great and knowledgeable at what he does. He recently installed a new water softener (replacing old one) for us. He recommended a system that I didn't really think I needed. However, now that I have it, I can't believe I questioned needing it! I have never had such fabulous soft water. It is so silky and lovely that I don't want to get out of the shower. He also installed a carbon filter (as part of the water softner system) to remove all the chlorine and nasty stuff from the water. Wow, what a difference it has made. I can actually drink the tap water (I am used to RO water). I cannot say enough about this system. While he was here, we also had him replace a kitchen faucet and work on a bathroom faucet. All completely satisfied! If you need someone honest that you can trust, look no further. You will not be disappointed.
