"Aquaco is a great company with an even better line of products. I needed a water softener system and reverse osmosis system for my home and Glenn was able to listen to my needs and provide options to fit our budget and needs. He even provided months worth of salt and a lifetime warranty for peace of mind. I have had the water softener and reverse osmosis system in for several months now and am very satisfied. I would recommend Glenn to family and friends!"
"The installer Dustin was great! He was on time and professional. The installation was completed in about four hours as stated the job would be. I am happy with my water softener system and so is my skin!"
"Very professional company! Called to confirm appointments and arrived in a timely manner. Offered suggestions for water softener and instant hot water that we needed. Pleasure to have them in our home!!"

"We’ve had Clear Water Concepts for decades and always had great service. Matt, the owner, retired and passed the baton to his son-in-law who is very helpful and friendly. This week, we had our annual maintenance done by Tech Troy Greenwood. He arrived on time and got everything checked out and changed our filters quickly. I would recommend Clear Concepts and Troy Greenwood."
"I would definitely recommend Mountain Fresh Water Systems to others. Glenn was a pleasure to deal with, he called me personally multiple times to get the details set up and provided me with product literature to make sure the choice I made fit our needs perfectly. The installation went off without a hitch (the installer was punctual and polite) and our new water softener is in perfect working order.
"Ray is very knowledgeable on water systems and listen to all of our needs He advised us on a complete system that addressed those needs for a price that bear the price of any other system I found His installation was impeccable and explanation of the system understandable. I would recommend him to anyone looking for water systems."
"The gentleman explained very well about our water and the gentleman that installed the system was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. They did the installation very quickly without a long wait. I was impressed with the job."
A water softener is a worthwhile investment if you live in an area with hard water. While hard water is safe to drink, it contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that can cause significant problems over time. These minerals build up inside pipes, reducing water flow and eventually corroding the plumbing system, which can lead to leaks and a shortened lifespan. Hard water also damages fixtures and appliances, potentially resulting in costly repairs. Additionally, it makes soaps and detergents less effective, meaning you'll use more product to get things clean. By installing a water softener, you can prevent these issues. The initial investment is often recouped through long-term savings, including lower energy bills, reduced appliance and plumbing maintenance, and spending less on soap and cleaning supplies. Other benefits include cleaner linens, dishes, and clothing, as well as softer water that is gentler on your skin and hair. In some areas, a water softener can also increase your home's value, making it a valuable long-term investment.
Soft water is better for your hair. The minerals in hard water can dry out hair, make it brittle, and leave a film on the hair and scalp that may cause irritation. Hard water also doesn't rinse out shampoo and conditioner effectively, which can lead to product buildup that makes hair look dull and limp. You may also find you need to use more shampoo to get a good lather in hard water.
You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.
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.
While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.
