Water Softeners & Water Treatment in Gretna, NE
The Omaha metro has hard water, and it shows up everywhere: white scale on faucets and shower glass, spotty dishes, soap that won't lather, dry skin and hair, and water heaters that wear out early. A water softener removes the calcium and magnesium that cause all of it. JTM Plumbing & Drain installs, repairs, and replaces water softeners and whole-house filtration across Gretna and Omaha, with treatment equipment built for our local water.
Serving the metro since 2004, we size the right system for your home and water, and back the plumbing with our 5-year warranty. Call Gretna (402) 203-6193 or Omaha (402) 933-3690.
Water treatment services we provide
- Water softener installation: sized to your home and water hardness
- Water softener repair: resin, valves, brine tank, control heads, "not regenerating" issues
- Water softener replacement: swap aging or failing units
- Whole-house filtration: sediment, chlorine, taste & odor
- Reverse osmosis (RO) drinking water systems: under-sink, clean drinking water
- Iron, sediment & specialty filtration: for tough water
- Salt-free conditioners: scale control without sodium (we'll explain the tradeoffs)
Hard water is the single biggest enemy of plumbing and appliances in this market. Scale builds inside water heaters, dishwashers, and faucets, shortening their life and raising energy bills. If you just replaced a water heater, a softener protects that investment. Some homes also deal with iron or sediment that a softener alone won't fully handle, which is why we test your water first and recommend the right filtration. Call the Omaha line at (402) 933-3690.

Signs You Need Water Treatment
White, Crusty Scale on Faucets & Glass
Hard water minerals building up on fixtures and shower glass. A softener stops it at the source.
Spotty Dishes & Glassware
Hardness minerals leave spots even after washing. Softened water fixes it.
Soap Won't Lather, Dry Skin or Hair
Hard water fights soap and strips moisture. Softening solves both.
Water Heater Wearing Out Early
Scale buildup from hard water shortens appliance life. A softener protects your investment.
Also common
- Orange/brown staining (iron). We test and recommend the right filtration
- Bad taste or smell in your water
Salt-free vs. salt-based softener
True softeners use salt to remove hardness minerals (best for scale and spotting). Salt-free "conditioners" reduce scale buildup but don't actually remove hardness. We'll explain the tradeoffs for your water and goals.

Usually yes. Common issues are a stuck control valve, a salt bridge in the brine tank, or worn resin. We diagnose and repair most brands.
They do different jobs. A softener treats the whole house for hardness; RO polishes drinking water at the tap for taste and contaminants. Many homes use both.
