"I had a whole house water softener installed and I am extremely happy with the entire experience. Scott gave me a great price, half of what Culligan charged me. The installers, Brian and Thomas did an outstanding job with the install. They hid the pipes neatly and were very careful and respectful of my home. They explained everything in detail and answered all our questions. This is a great company to work with!"

"I had an excellent experience with Pro Bright Construction. They responded to my initial inquiry very quickly and were able to schedule the installation of a whole-home water flow restrictor on the main water intake that same day. The two professionals who completed the work were friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. Although this was a significant installation, they finished the job in just a couple of hours and left the work area spotless. I was quoted a price by a large plumbing company that was nearly twice the amount I paid, so I also appreciate Pro Bright's very fair pricing. I'm left truly happy for their prompt response, professionalism, quality workmanship, and value. I will definitely contact Pro Bright Construction for any future plumbing needs and highly recommend them."

"Best experience replacing a water heater! Mickey was very professional and worked efficiently to replace our old water heater. He took the time to go over the estimate (priced fairly and competitively) and made sure that we had the equipment we needs for our household needs. He made sure that we also were brought up to code since our set up was fairly old. The experience was smooth and stress-free from start to finish. I would highly recommend Mickey and Gorilla Plumbing for future plumbing projects!"

"Aztec H2O provided a high quality water softener and the install was impressive. Stephen, the owner was very meticulous and took his time to explain the function of the Pentair unit. Best of all, he was a fraction of the cost of other water systems like EcoWater, Culligan, and Life Source! Please call Stephen first!"

"Showed up onsite quickly to review the work, discuss options, & provide quote. Expensive, but rep'd a quality brand, worked quickly, & quality work. I wish the electrician they pulled in would have talked it over with me before doing their portion, I was not happy with that part."

"The technician came out to give free estimate and was on time but after a fairly brief examination of the leaking faucet gave us an estimate of $600 to repair the leak. Since this was quite a bit above our budget I decided to pull the cartridge out myself and look for a replacement. The tech was kind enough to point out where the shutoff for the water was located so that I could safely do this . When I opened the faucet up and removed the cartridge I took it down to Home Depot which has a nice selection of these items. Unfortunately they didn't have one like mine but when I looked at it more closely I could see that it was really only the rubber seal at one end that had been worn down. This was the source of the leak. I found a little package of these rings that fit my cartridge and this cost me a little less than $4. I installed a new one and put everything back together. It has worked just fine wiith no dripping for about 10 days now. I doubt if I could have done this all myself so I have to give credit where it is due to both the tech from Point Loma Electric and the person at Home Depot who also gave me some advice."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

A good hardness level for drinking water can vary based on personal preferences, but an ideal level is 3.5 to 7 GPG. This means your water isn’t soft or hard. However, some people prefer the “fresh” taste from the minerals in hard water, while others like the smoother, “slippery” texture of soft water.

It depends on the type of surface. For instance, if you’re trying to get rid of hard water deposits on glass, you can spray vinegar onto the surface and wipe it off with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. However, if the deposits are on granite or natural stone, it’s better to use baking soda and water rather than vinegar or other acidic cleaners.

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.

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.

Water purifiers and water softeners serve different purposes, so the best one will depend on your particular needs. Water purifiers remove contaminants from water (such as bacteria, viruses, and chemicals), leaving you with ultra-clean and safe water. However, water softeners remove minerals from your water so that the water doesn’t leave stains around your house or cause plumbing problems.
