"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 sales rep took several water testsâ ¦ The sales rep took several water tests and showed me the results. She told me that I needed more than just a water softener. I also needed a system to address the rust and iron in my well water. I did not want to spend a fortune but the sales lady was pretty convincing. The price was good and the workmanship was excellent. My water is clean again ! Now I can tackle the original problem. My toilet has bad rust stains. I will either get it clean, or replace it. I could not do this until the water was fixed."
"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."
"Glenn and his team were very fast to respond, and helpful/informative when reviewing options for the water softener install. It was a seamless experience!"
"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 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.
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.
You can use a commercial water repellent treatment for glass on your shower doors to prevent water spots. Take care to only apply the product to glass. Letting air circulate also helps prevent water spots, as water is less likely to remain on the glass for a long time with good air circulation. Run your vent fan, open a window, and leave the shower door open for about half an hour after using the shower.
You should not use a water conditioner with a water softener because a water conditioner changes the chemistry of the water and causes the ion exchange in a softener to be ineffective. Choose a water softener if you have hard water or well water, and use a water conditioner if you need to remove certain contaminants.
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.
