"Alan and Giovanni did a great job with quick installation. Reasonable pricing for the job and didn't add in a lot of extra work that wasn't really required (as we have had other contractors do)."

"The Friday before Thanksgiving we discovered large puddles in our laundry room and hallway. My dad, ever the handyman, tried to find the leak but grew distraught when he realized the water was coming from inside the walls and not our washing machine. That night, not wanting to chance my dad trying to fix it or worse, a friend of a friend, I became a member of Angie's list and looked for a reputable plumber nearby open on the weekends.
I called Saturday morning and they arrived same day Saturday afternoon (I told them it wasn't a major leak). They looked everywhere for the leak, moved our washer and dryer, opened up the wall, etc. They were able to isolate it to the hot water and advised us to leave the hot water off at night when the water pressure increased. Sunday they charge double, so we opted to continue on Monday. On Moday, first thing in the morning 8AM  they brought in a specialist with the fancy audio leak detection device seen on their website, which was kinda neat. A manager came by and told us there were a few other issues, but it turned out we just needed a new water heater (ours was over 10 years old, installed by my father and not up to code) and a pressure regulator. We were quoted a bit over 5k for everything, which was around how much we thought it was going to be, so that worked out. They came back on Tuesday at 8 AM and worked all day and restored hot water by 6. Thanksgiving was saved~! Hurray~! 
Service was excellent, everything was up to code. They taped down crate paper on the floors of the places they worked in, replaced the drywall, bolted everything into place, moved a bunch of heavy stuff without help--everything looked great when it was done. We're all pretty impressed and would use Richco again in the future.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. 

That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

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.

You can use a commercial water repellent treatment for glass on your shower doors to prevent water spots. Take care to only apply the product to glass. Letting air circulate also helps prevent water spots, as water is less likely to remain on the glass for a long time with good air circulation. Run your vent fan, open a window, and leave the shower door open for about half an hour after using the shower.

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.
