"I received a lower price than the other two brands we got bids from and the installation was well done. I did not want to buy a water softener online and install it myself as I knew some plumbing would have to be done so I was willing to pay more to have an experienced person perform the installation."

"I have not written a review for a person I have hired in Angie's list and this is the first one... With countless options for water filter and softener in the market, it can be very overwhelming. Products, technology and quality of customer services are at stake. Most products and technology at this point in time are top notch. The prices as well become so competitive... Bottom line, when having an investment such as water softener and filtration, it boils down to education and customer service. This is clearly where Ed and his crew have a significant edge...his attention to detail, thoughtful consideration and assurance of quality of work is unparalled. You can text and call him and you can almost guaranteed he will reply. This is PEACE OF MIND that no other pricing nor product nor a company can deliver! He admits that his pricing is certainly not the lowest one nor its the highest but guarantees its VERY competitive! And based on my countless of research, it is indeed one of the best one out there! His product is neither the most cutting edge (a TESLA dor example), but its like buying a TOYOTA, a reliable and no nonsense working machine that takes in all replacement parts and DOES the job! What you want in your house is a workhorse backed up by solid customer service that will last you a long time. I have not yet seen this but so far his efforts and reviews has proven this greatly!!! Ed is your water guy! He knows his stuff and has the passion to make it known and delivered with his outstanding care to his customer!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.

Whether you need a license or permit for water softener installation depends on your location. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, while others may only require a permit and an inspection. In some cases, both a permit and a licensed installer are necessary, and some areas have no requirements at all. Often, only certified plumbers and electricians are allowed to pull the necessary permits. To find out the specific regulations in your area, you can contact your local building department. Alternatively, a local water softener installer or plumber will be familiar with the requirements and can typically pull the permits 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 tools like Angi’s state licensing tool to verify an installer's license status.

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.

Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.

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.
