What to Do With Your Water Softener When You Move

If you’re planning a move in the not-so-distant future, it’s probably safe to say you have a lot to think about. When to pack, what to pack, what to donate, what to throw out; cancel this service, transfer that service, forward the mail – the list is seemingly endless. And one of the things you may be wondering is what to do with your water treatment system.

Take It or Leave It

Purchasing a water softening solution or reverse osmosis system can be a big investment for a homeowner. So it makes sense that you’d think twice about leaving it behind and try to figure out if it’s even possible to move it to your new residence.

The process of choosing the right water treatment system for your home is a bit more involved than choosing other home appliances, like a refrigerator or dishwasher. Sure, you may have some must-have features in mind, but a good water treatment system is designed around your water specifically.

What many homeowners may not realize is that your water can be completely different from the water at your neighbor’s house. Variations in water source and distribution can make all the difference in what’s in the water in your current home, and what could be waiting for you in your new home.

Let Your Water Decide

It is possible to disconnect your water softener or filtration system and move it like the rest of your belongings. Ultimately, you want to make sure the move is worth the hassle. Your best bet is to have the water tested at your new home to determine if your current system is the best solution for your new home’s water.
