"I had Nick show up for annual boiler maintenance this year. While doing the annual check up/maintenance, he noticed many issues with my boiler system, as well as discrepancies in design, installation, and maintenance performed by another company. He diagnosed improper settings using a system analyzer, tuned up my boiler system to proper manufacture settings, and suggested modifications to existing system design to ensure efficiency. I’m thoroughly impressed with Nick’s knowledge, experience, and maintenance. I will be requesting him for all future plumbing and heating needs. You hired the right technician for your company; kudos!"

"Honest, prompt and efficient. Even with the earthquake disrupting all our lives, Dale exanimed my current boiler and showed me how, wiith a few installation adjustments and additions , my system would be fine. Other plumbers had given me estimates of $10,000 to replace the whole thing ! What a relief. Dale and his wife are Gems."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

A lower-end water softener would cost around $900, not including installation. Each home has different requirements, water hardness, and number of inhabitants, so there’s a huge range in pricing—$600 to over $6,000. The average water softener repair bill is around $500, meaning it’s a much better option to repair any issues and only replace your softener if absolutely necessary. 

Yes, a water softener can remove scale deposits. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, after you add a water softener to your home, “gradually the softer water will dissolve limescale scale deposits and remove the problem entirely.” Installing a water softener—or water descaler—will also help prevent new scale deposits from forming.

The main difference between a water softener and a water filter is what they remove from the water. A water softener is specifically designed to remove hard minerals, while a filter removes a wider range of contaminants above a certain size, such as bacteria and other impurities. If your primary goal is to remove minerals, a softener is the best choice. If you want to remove various contaminants for safety or taste, a filter is more suitable. Filters are also typically less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply's specific issues, you may need to install both systems for comprehensive treatment.

It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.

No, hard water isn’t dangerous. The added calcium in hard water can contribute to good bone health. However, it can also cause dry skin and hair. If you have dry skin or hair, consider using a water-softening system to help minimize the minerals in your water. Plus, these systems can also add some sodium to your diet.
