"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."
If your ‘do isn’t doing what you want it to do despite using good hair care products, hard water might be to blame. Since hard water can’t rinse soap off as well as soft water can, your hair might grow limp because of the shampoo and conditioner residue that’s left behind. If you color your hair, you might see it fade more quickly or even turn a different shade as the dye reacts with the minerals in the water. You might also experience an itchy scalp, thanks to the dryness that comes from bathing in the hard water.
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.
Experts recommend that you put two to four bags of potassium chloride in your water softener every month. This amount depends on how much is in the bag (40 pounds is most common) and what your water softener manufacturer recommends. For more specific advice, talk to a water softener pro in your area and read the manual that came with your system.
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.
The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.
Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.
