"AWS was amazing! From the start, the initial consultation was prompt and informative and well detailed. To scheduling our service earlier than expected, they truly work with our urgency for the installation. Our service man Tim was on time and explained the work he was going to complete. Although there were a few hiccups along the way, he made it all work. We are completely excited for our new water softener, reverse osmosis system, and faucet they installed in our brand new home."

"I used Riviera Plumbing to replace a functioning, but very old, water heater and received outstanding service from the owner, Cuyler Kittle, and his very capable assistant, Raphael. Cuyler was quick to respond to my messages, arrived on time as promised, did an inspection the day before to go over the project with me and explain all the details and the advantages of the brand of water heater he used (Bradford-White), and then performed the job itself quickly and efficiently, leaving the area clean and neat. Furthermore, they came back the following day to try and fix blockage I had in a 50' drain pipe that siphoned rain water from my gutters out to the street. They worked their rears off trying to get the pipe clear, and after 3 hours of hard labor finally achieved success. The total cost for these two jobs was quite reasonable. Another plus is that they are friendly and have a fine sense of humor as they work. I HIGHLY recommend Cuyler and Riviera Plumbing and will be happily using them for all my future plumbing needs."

"On July 19, 2019 Richco repaired a corroded water inlet pipe where it enters through a stucco wall. This included replacing pipe in the wall and shut-off valves for a nearby sink. New supply hoses were included. The technician, Fernando, produced excellent results to my complete satisfaction."

"Technician checked ducts for leaks and water condensation tray and compressor and coolant levels and more. All was good except he found a relay that was all corroded and suggested replacement, which I did. I feel that I'm in good hands and they know what they are doing and I will use them again."

"I got this company from Angie's List and they were excellent. They added a drain out for me and it was so bad I wouldn't have water buck up, I have really bad back up. They put some drain pipe for me and they also rooted out my sewer line.They came in fast but I ended up involving the insurance for some of it because I had a flood in the bathroom which wasn't covered so I let them do that."

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

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

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.

Whether you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.

To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process for you. Regardless of local laws, it is always recommended to hire a licensed professional to ensure the system is sized and installed correctly. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.

The main difference between a water softener and a water filter is what they remove from the water. A water softener is specifically designed to remove hard minerals, while a filter removes a wider range of contaminants above a certain size, such as bacteria and other impurities. If your primary goal is to remove minerals, a softener is the best choice. If you want to remove various contaminants for safety or taste, a filter is more suitable. Filters are also typically less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply's specific issues, you may need to install both systems for comprehensive treatment.

No, hard water isn’t dangerous. The added calcium in hard water can contribute to good bone health. However, it can also cause dry skin and hair. If you have dry skin or hair, consider using a water-softening system to help minimize the minerals in your water. Plus, these systems can also add some sodium to your diet.
