Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

"Mr. Rooter lied to me and didn't do the work they had been paid to do. I paid Mr. Rooter $4000 to replace the sewer line at my house. Their bid clearly stated, "replace sewer line from the house to the city main". Two years later I began having sewage backups. I discovered that Mr. Rooter's sewer line replacement stopped 3 feet short of the city main line. Those three feet now have root intrusion and need to be replaced. The owner, Jerry Enwald, sent me a letter admitting that their replacement did not go all the way to the city main line. He then claimed he talked to a City Inspector who told him "anything five (5) feet off of the City Main Line is considered the city main line". Therefor, he wrote, they had fulfilled the contract. This is like an Uber driver stopping five blocks from your house and saying "anything 5 blocks from your house is considered your house". It's untrue and it's fraud. I even talked to the city inspector who he quoted. The Inspector told me he never said anything of the sort. These people are liars and cons. Do not hire them. They underbid the competition by not actually doing the work."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

No, a water descaler won't descale pipes. The charged water running through the pipes may very slowly dissolve mineral deposits and hold them inside the water, but it's a very gradual process. If your pipes do need descaling, it's much better to get a local plumber to descale your pipes.

It does cost money to have a water softener, both for installation and ongoing maintenance. Additionally, the taste of your water will be altered, especially if sodium is the ingredient you use to run the water softening system. Look up exactly what your chosen water softener will remove and what will remain because not all systems provide the same results.

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.

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.

A tankless water heater should be at least 10 feet away from a water softener, although the pros you hire for water softener installation can help you determine the correct distance. These two units need to have some distance between them to prevent hot water from the tankless water heater from flowing backward into the water softener when it runs a regeneration cycle.
