"I recently had the pleasure of working with Joshua at Diamond House, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, he demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and excellent customer service. My pipes were old, corroded, and causing issues in almost every part of my house from faucets to my water heater and water pressure. When I reached out for a repiping project, they responded quickly and scheduled an in-home consultation right away. Their team was punctual, arriving exactly when they said they would. Joshua walked me through the process of replacing my aging pipes and even gave me a few options that fit my budget. If any unexpected issues came up (as they sometimes do with older homes), he discussed them with me before proceeding. This level of communication gave me peace of mind. Although repiping is a significant investment, I felt that their pricing was fair for the high level of service I received. The long-term benefits of upgraded plumbing have already made a difference in my water pressure and quality. They also provided a warranty on all of their work and included yearly maintenance on my water heater and water filter/descaler. Diamond House Plumbing exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of repiping or other plumbing work."

"Kayvan was a wonderful service tech! He was on time and professionally checked out the water heater and the HVAC system. He was so polite and friendly. He explained the need for a new filter in the heating unit and showed me photos of the unit located in the attic. He also offered to do a friendly deed for free, which I greatly appreciated, He’s a great asset to Service Champions!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Soft water is better for your hair. The minerals in hard water can dry out hair, make it brittle, and leave a film on the hair and scalp that may cause irritation. Hard water also doesn't rinse out shampoo and conditioner effectively, which can lead to product buildup that makes hair look dull and limp. You may also find you need to use more shampoo to get a good lather in hard water.

The most effective way to fix hard water in your shower is by installing a whole-home water softening system. This system treats water as it enters your home, removing the minerals that cause hardness before they can reach your shower or any other fixtures. While this is the most comprehensive solution, other methods are often temporary fixes. For a more affordable and shower-specific option, you can install a water-softening showerhead or a shower filter. However, these filters are generally less effective and may not remove all the contaminants that lead to limescale and hard water stains. By implementing a water softening solution, you can expect a reduction in mineral deposits and enjoy the benefits of cleaner-feeling hair and skin.

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.
