"Thank you to Julio Valle from John Padilla Plumbing, Inc. After I had a lukewarm shower, I called Padilla Plumbing based on their 5 star reviews on various platforms. They had an opening the next afternoon. The gentleman on the phone gave me an estimate for replacing the water heater if that was necessary & told me their service charge would go toward any repair that they did for me. The next day, a gentleman called to say the plumber was running late & would miss the time window. What would I like to do? I opted to have the plumber come the same day if he could do it in the daylight. Julio arrived about 20 minutes later! Yay!! Julio was very professional & courteous. He tested the in-house faucets (upstairs & down) for water temperature. Then we went down to the water heater in the garage. He adjusted the temp on one of the heating elements as it was much lower than the other one. Again, he tested water temps upstairs & the water was already warmer!! This seems to be a well-run, responsive plumbing company that I will call again when needed. Highly recommend."

With over 16 years of water treatment and plumbing experience, Kraken water systems has serviced all types of water softeners, and reverse osmosis systems. From the lowest cost DIY under the counter units, to systems that provide millions of gallons daily of pure water to local Avocado groves. Kraken Water Systems was established in 2020. At Kraken Water Systems, we specialize in water softeners, and whole house water treatment filtration systems. With over 16 years of experience, we have come across all different types of installation situations, various types of water softeners, and straight up weird code-defying plumbing situations that need a little love. If it has to do with any type of water, whether clear, brown, red, or stinks like rotten eggs, we take care of it. We believe in extremely high quality profesional installations, at a fair and reasonable price. To be honest, i'm an extreme stickler for attention to details with all of my installations. I follow all state and local codes and guidelines, and maybe a minor OCD issue when it comes to how clean and level our plumbing must look. Living in San Diego, we are always being told to "prep for the BIG ONE", so every water softener or standing whole house system will be installed with earthquake straps, and all piping secured thoroughly. Over the years of working in the trades, I have learned one thing. There are true tradesman, and there are people getting paid to pose as tradesman. Give us a chance at protecting your outrageously priced San Diego dream home, with a reasonably priced water system that will protect your family, pipes, and fixtures for years to come.

We service all of Southern California including LA County, Orange County, and San Diego County. We specialize in routine maintenance and beautification such as replacing your roof, repainting your home, or replacing your windows to name just a few of the remodeling services we provide. Of course we are exceptional at what we do, and we're even better at choosing who we employ. Find no better employees to work with than Suntrust Remodeling. We found the happier our employees are, the happier our customers are, and it's something you'll feel from the moment you interact with any member of our staff.

"We have to WARN anyone thinking of using this company! It was a disaster from the very beginning. No one checks up on the crew once things begin. We had to fight every step of the way sharing photos of poor workmanship and sending text messages asking when they would be back to complete the work or come out to do the repairs. Communication was absolutely terrible. The crew did NOT know what they were to do when they arrived. Quality of work was horrible and their mission statement is not true… “We understand the importance of trust and transparency in the home renovation process. That’s why we make it our mission to provide comprehensive education and clear communication throughout every project…That’s why we go above and beyond to ensure a seamless and stress-free experience for our clients”. We have paint drips all over our cedar siding and hardscape. It took over 6 months to complete our job. We will need to find another company to repair the items they did not do correctly. Feel free to reach out to us if you’d like any more information at [email protected]. We’ve reported them to BBB and also reached out to the CA Licensing Board. We are hoping to save others from getting involved with this company and causing undo stress. DO NOT trust them!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.

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.

A lower-end water softener would cost around $900, not including installation. Each home has different requirements, water hardness, and number of inhabitants, so there’s a huge range in pricing—$600 to over $6,000. The average water softener repair bill is around $500, meaning it’s a much better option to repair any issues and only replace your softener if absolutely necessary. 

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time. 

The license requirements for water softener installation depend on your location. Some municipalities require that the installer hold a plumbing license, some require a permit and an inspection, but no license for the installer, and some require a permit and a license for the installer. Regardless of the local laws in your area, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed plumber or installer. These pros will install your system properly and have the experience to size the system appropriately. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your installer’s license status.
