"Shaw's were absolutely awesome. Had an emergency need when a pipe broke, and they were the only ones willing to come and fix it that night so we weren't without water. Also reasonably priced, great service, and super friendly. Would highly recommend!"

"I had an excellent experience with Gold Strike Plumbing. They installed my new hot water tank and made sure everything was brought up to code properly. Very professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and reliable from start to finish. They explained everything clearly, completed the work in a timely manner, and left the area clean when they were done. It’s hard to find companies that take pride in their work and customer service the way they do. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs!"

He made sure all of my faucets were working after turning the water back on, he took all of the old fixtures with him, this young man made sure he left the area very clean. I wished there was a rating over 5 that I could give, I will forever be a customer for the rest of my life, and I will recommend him and Ray Lusk Plumbing."

"Brian was very professional in analyzing the trouble. He got down at the drain and examine it to see were the water was really coming from. The other plumbers just stood over the hole and gave an opinion of what they thought was going on , They all were totally wrong. Brian is honest, very hard working,and his prices are fair."

"The yearly service works out to be $50 a month. We've had two water heaters replaced through them because of a fault in them. They're usually very responsive. I like that I can request the service online. The only thing is, I wish that there was a better avenue for emergency services. If something doesn't work right away usually it takes a couple of days to get someone out and sometimes you can't wait two days without water."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.

Whether you need a license or permit for water softener installation depends on your location. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, while others may only require a permit and an inspection. In some cases, both a permit and a licensed installer are necessary, and some areas have no requirements at all. Often, only certified plumbers and electricians are allowed to pull the necessary permits. To find out the specific regulations in your area, you can contact your local building department. Alternatively, a local water softener installer or plumber will be familiar with the requirements and can typically pull the permits for you. Regardless of local laws, it is always recommended to hire a licensed professional to ensure the system is sized and installed correctly. You can use tools like Angi’s state licensing tool to verify an installer's license status.

Hard water is not considered unhealthy and is safe to drink, cook with, and bathe in. It doesn't pose a risk to your physical health and can even help you get enough essential minerals like calcium in your diet. However, it can negatively affect skin and hair. Using hard water for washing can contribute to dry skin, an itchy scalp, and may worsen conditions like eczema by altering the pH balance. Additionally, some people do not like the taste of hard water.

You can install a water softener system by turning off the water supply, draining the water, and then connecting your device to the waterline. Next, you’ll fill your tank with the recommended amount of salt or brine (whichever your unit calls for; be sure to read the instructions). Turn the water supply on and check for leaks. You can opt to let your water run for a few minutes, then test it using strips. 

The process of inspecting your water softener system is similar.

There are several things that can shorten the life of a water softener. Homes with very hard water may have to replace the unit sooner because the water softener works harder to filter out the hard minerals. High water usage and infrequent maintenance can also put more strain on a water softener.
