"They recommended a good solution for the occasional shallow flooding in the garage (installing a sump pump) They started soon after we submitted the request and they did a good job. Most importantly, the pump kept the garage dry through our seemingly endless rains this winter. There are 2 reasons I rate the job with 4 stars rather than 5. (1) The job did not pass the city’s inspection and a critical connection had to be reconfigured (after which it passed) and (2) there was some weirdness around payment on the last day of the actual work (before the inspection) in which the crew seemed unwilling to leave without a check and then were slowly driving around the neighborhood afterwards. When I brought this up with my contact at the company, he denied that the van was theirs (which it definitely was) and didn’t really explain or defuse the bad feeling this created. But … they did a good job and in this day and age that’s really important and can’t be taken for granted. I recommend this company with the suggestion that paperwork, permitting, terms of payment etc should be clearly settled in advance."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The best way to soften hard water in the shower is with a water softening system. These whole-home softeners help remove minerals from the water as it enters your home. If you’re looking for a more affordable, shower-specific solution, install a water-softening showerhead to filter water as it’s coming out. With a water softening solution in place, you may find a reduction in mineral deposits as well as cleaner-feeling hair and skin.

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 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.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

Yes, it’s fine to drink softened water. However, if you follow a low-sodium diet or have high blood pressure or sodium-related health concerns, make sure to speak with your doctor beforehand. If they advise against drinking water that’s been softened with sodium, you might be able to use potassium in your water softener instead.
