"Chris, from Aqua Systems thoroughly explained how their water softener worked and would enhance the quality of our water (very hard water in a limestone quarry area). We purchased their SmartChoice Gen II model. Installation was delayed three days due to a large project, but they notified us well in advance. Jarred and Robby completed a clean, quick, and efficient installation. They thoroughly explained the system operation and left their cell numbers in case we needed help. The control module also displays an Aqua Systems contact number for help. Within 24 hours, both the hot and cold water felt different and the water taste was improved. Our system has been in 7 days, the water feels silky. My wife's makeup washes off completely with soap and water. Our towels feel softer. Our dishes, especially the glasses, look cleaner. Aqua Systems can analyze you water and recommend a product that will help you - we're very happy with their product and installation."

"Trust me, just call them and be done calling folks! I called them about 3pm as I saw water flowing through my yard. They asked if I had water, to which I told them no that I had cut it off. I told them I could make it until morning if needed and they asked to call me back, had already heard this from several places but no one called back for several hours later....within 30 minutes I not only had a call back, but it was worked out to have someone here that day! Then, not only did they fixed the leak at hand...they tested the pressure and found a faulty pressure regulator to be the culprit and fixed the root of the problem for me. I cannot say enough great stuff about their honesty, professionalism and work ethic for treating customers like they would want to be treated!"

"The problem: Water heater not making hot water. The plumber installed gas control valve, thermal expansion tank, and installed a new valve for a hose bib. $175 in parts, the rest of the $1,076.00 invoice was labor. The work was done well; the plumber was courteous and explained his work. The owner called after the work was completed. He cares about his reputation and about his customers being satisfied with their service."

"It took a little while to figure out what they needed to do, but they finally gave us a new resin for our water softener which has helped it to work much better. They also assisted us in getting the grains set properly on the water softener. They took a water sample for an iron test but did not call us back on the results. Their pricing was better than others."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

It depends on the type of surface. For instance, if you’re trying to get rid of hard water deposits on glass, you can spray vinegar onto the surface and wipe it off with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. However, if the deposits are on granite or natural stone, it’s better to use baking soda and water rather than vinegar or other acidic cleaners.

Yes. Hard water is what causes scale buildup, and a whole-house filter provides numerous benefits beyond water softening. Any water that enters your home will go through the filter, which cleans up all water that you will use for cooking, bathing, and drinking. A whole-house water filter also blocks harmful particles like heavy metals.

Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.

Hard water isn’t necessarily bad for you. In some ways, it’s good for you. If you’re deficient in magnesium or calcium, hard water can give you a mineral boost that you wouldn’t get with soft water. However, this is where the benefits of hard water pretty much stop. Hard water can cause many minor inconveniences and lead to costly, premature replacements of your water-using appliances.

The primary difference between a water softener and a water filter lies in what they remove from the water. A water softener is designed to remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. In contrast, a water filter has a broader effect, removing various contaminants above a certain size, which can include bacteria and other impurities.

To decide which you need, consider your goal. If you want to eliminate hard minerals, choose a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, a filter is the better option. Filters are also generally less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply, you may need to install both for comprehensive treatment.
