At General Air Conditioning & Plumbing, we want every in-Palm Springs and the surrounding areas to have access to clean, safe, and delicious-tasting water straight out of the tap. While most water in the area is safe to drink, it isn’t always the highest quality. Chemicals and minerals in the water can contribute to poor-tasting water or water that causes problems in the plumbing system. One solution for bad-tasting water is water softeners. These devices can help you avoid some of the many plumbing problems that hard water can cause.
Our plumbers at General Air Conditioning & Plumbing install, replace, and repair water softeners. We can help you determine what type of system is right for your home so that you can begin soft water.
Are you looking for a plumber who can install hard water softeners and water filtration? Call or message General Air Conditioning & Plumbing today for information about our water softener installation in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, and La Quinta.
"We received excellent education and advice regarding available options for the replacement of our old, failing, whole-house water conditioner-softener system. With no hard sell pressure. Upon choosing one option, Hector, the technician from Genera, returned to perform an excellent installation of the new system. His performance was so impressive, we chose to engage General to provide ongoing maintenance service for our HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems. Via joining their annual membership program."

Sometimes it can be challenging to find the right solutions for your tap water. Tap water can have harmful contaminants, minerals, or both. The perfect choice will depend on your situation.
Water softeners are ideal for homes that have too many minerals such as calcium and magnesium. They can even help to remove small amounts of iron from the water. While higher mineral levels are not considered harmful, they can cause many different problems in the home. They can cause build-up on the inside of your pipes, hard water stains on your fixtures, stains on your clothing, and dry skin and hair. If any of these problems are plaguing you or your family members, it may be time to consider a water softener installation from General Air Conditioning & Plumbing.
What Types of Water Softeners Are Available?
Depending on the problems that you are experiencing in your home, you may need different water softener options. Here are some of the choices you may have for your home.
Water Softeners Without Salt
You may have already heard about water softeners that use salt to remove magnesium and calcium from the water. But at General Air Conditioning & Plumbing, we also offer water softeners without salt. This type of device is a water conditioner that crystalizes minerals such as magnesium and calcium instead of removing them. This prevents them from forming scale. This type of system can be a good choice if you want to remove and prevent scale without taking out the minerals or adding salt.
Water Softener Shower Head
If you are happy with the water quality throughout the rest of your home, but you don’t like the way your skin and hair feel after a shower, you can consider a water softener shower head. This type of device is easy to install on most shower heads. When you turn on the water for your morning shower, the shower head will get to work making sure the water that comes out is perfect for the health of your skin, hair, and nails.
Water Softener Vs Reverse Osmosis: Which Do You Need?
The question of whether you need a water softener vs. a reverse osmosis system in your home is best answered after we have a clear picture of your home’s needs. While a reverse osmosis system can remove minerals, it isn’t always the most efficient way to take magnesium and calcium out of the water. Reverse osmosis systems are ideal for getting rid of other contaminants such as chlorine and may waste a lot of water if used on their own to soften the water.
Hard water softeners can be used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system if you have problems with both contaminants and high mineral content in your water. If you are just having problems with mineral content, a water softener by itself is the better option.

Andrew was great the service advisor he explained everything he did and the possibilities what might need in the future . I recommend general air conditioning very highly
Julio and Benjamin from The General were great. Hard workers and experienced, getting our AC unit and furnace installed smoothly. The whole team works well with Louie our service rep coming in to answer questions and help as well. Very happy with their work.
Had an old water heater replaced. Old water heater just stopped working. General Plumbing answered my call immediately and had a plumber out by the afternoon to diagnose the issue. They managed to get the old heater working but we all agreed it was time for a new heater. Within a couple of days they returned and replaced the old heater. Ricardo and crew were efficient and professional. They made sure the installation was to city code (we will have inspected shortly). They answered all our questions. Gave us tips on proper care and maintenance. For any plumbing emergency or need, give them a call.
Our service was rescheduled twice due tocontractor work load, but the service callwent well and was handled very promptlyand professionally by our service tech.
We had to replace our HVAC system and the General is the contractor Costco uses. We were very happy with our decision, they are professional and knowledgeable. Every aspect was top notch. Would recommend to anyone. We had our mandatory inspection by the State and were told our new system met and exceeded all requirements as to installation and equipment. Very happy.
Allen was great. On time, took his time to look at the problem and work on a resolution.He was professional and personable at the same time.My last 2 experiences with the company will have me coming back as needed. They’ve been very goodI highly recommend
In my case, replacement of the entire air conditioning and heating system was the best option. Rumor has it that I could’ve received the same job for less cost had I investigated other companies. As it is, the crew that handled this installation did a good job, were polite, and clean, and I appreciate the service. I may have paid more than I needed to, but I was happy with the work. They also did what they said they were going do in a very timely manner (no delays). The company included parts that were not anticipated at no additional cost. (They gave me a quote and there was no add on.)
I have only used General for my HVAC needs. I enjoy the friendliness and professional of the office and service staff. In particular the outstanding services of Ivan Lopez. Having access to Mr. Lopez keeps me coming back!!!
It’s rare these days to have a technician take the time to explain everything they are doing, and why they are doing it. It always feels good to learn something new. Definitely will call General again when something else breaks.
Anthony did a fantastic job with our repairs and maintenance. He could not have been nicer, more polite, and professional, explained what was needed and recommended in future. We will definitely request him specifically for future work at our home!
Great experience, professional, courteous and on time. Great crew, respectful, friendly, quality of work was excellent.Thank you ,Alan ParadisePalm Desert. Ca.
