"Thank you to Julio Valle from John Padilla Plumbing, Inc. After I had a lukewarm shower, I called Padilla Plumbing based on their 5 star reviews on various platforms. They had an opening the next afternoon. The gentleman on the phone gave me an estimate for replacing the water heater if that was necessary & told me their service charge would go toward any repair that they did for me. The next day, a gentleman called to say the plumber was running late & would miss the time window. What would I like to do? I opted to have the plumber come the same day if he could do it in the daylight. Julio arrived about 20 minutes later! Yay!! Julio was very professional & courteous. He tested the in-house faucets (upstairs & down) for water temperature. Then we went down to the water heater in the garage. He adjusted the temp on one of the heating elements as it was much lower than the other one. Again, he tested water temps upstairs & the water was already warmer!! This seems to be a well-run, responsive plumbing company that I will call again when needed. Highly recommend."

Because of the care we take with each project and respect we show for each customer we have created a large repeat customer base from referrals.

"Carini installed my mini splits a few years ago and promised me the world with their warranties. Well, turns out they botched something during the install and all of the refrigerant leaked out. They want $2,200 to refill and re-pressurize the line. Since they cross-threaded the screw that led to the leak during installation, this should be covered under the "Lifetime Craftsmanship" guarantee. Instead, they're trying to charging me a full day of labor to fix their mistake. Support on this issue has been dismal. It's been 16 days since they first diagnosed the problem and I still don't have a timeline for when this will get fixed. I chose Carini because of their warranties and their service record, but its all smoke and mirrors. You've been warned."

With over 16 years of water treatment and plumbing experience, Kraken water systems has serviced all types of water softeners, and reverse osmosis systems. From the lowest cost DIY under the counter units, to systems that provide millions of gallons daily of pure water to local Avocado groves. Kraken Water Systems was established in 2020. At Kraken Water Systems, we specialize in water softeners, and whole house water treatment filtration systems. With over 16 years of experience, we have come across all different types of installation situations, various types of water softeners, and straight up weird code-defying plumbing situations that need a little love. If it has to do with any type of water, whether clear, brown, red, or stinks like rotten eggs, we take care of it. We believe in extremely high quality profesional installations, at a fair and reasonable price. To be honest, i'm an extreme stickler for attention to details with all of my installations. I follow all state and local codes and guidelines, and maybe a minor OCD issue when it comes to how clean and level our plumbing must look. Living in San Diego, we are always being told to "prep for the BIG ONE", so every water softener or standing whole house system will be installed with earthquake straps, and all piping secured thoroughly. Over the years of working in the trades, I have learned one thing. There are true tradesman, and there are people getting paid to pose as tradesman. Give us a chance at protecting your outrageously priced San Diego dream home, with a reasonably priced water system that will protect your family, pipes, and fixtures for years to come.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.

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.

Choosing involves understanding water hardness levels, household size, desired features, and consulting professionals experienced in suitable system types.

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.

The best way to fix hard water in a shower is by installing a water softener system. This is the only way to truly ensure that hard water doesn't enter your shower—or any part of your home beyond the water softener. Most other methods are temporary fixes. While you can choose a shower filter, these filters aren’t as effective and may not remove many contaminants that cause limescale and hard water stains.
