"Nathan Guidara of Pure Water Systems was very helpful and knowledgable from the first moment he came to my door. He quickly showed me how bad and hard the water was. John, who installed the system is also knowledgable and quick and kept me informed of everything that he was doing. Very good work and he showed me what to watch out for. Nathan came by a few days later and checked the system out. I also like the fact that they have an office here in Dayton. I recommend Pure Water Systems to any homeowner who wants clean, soft water and to protect the pipes and fixtures from water damage. Great experience with Nathan and John."

"Finally an honest Solar company!! I went through several companies trying to get quotes for one of my properties, either they were ridiculously expensive or they didn't return my calls. A friend of mine referred me to Mega Sun and I have to say I am very pleased. Within a couple days from the initial phone call I already had an estimate and once i decided to go with them the installation was completed in one week. Its been a little over a month since they completed the install and everything is working smoothly.

I was amazed at just how great the customer service was. I just want to say thank you to the whole team who helped out, I really appreciate all your hard work. Now I know you guys are the ones to call for all future jobs."

"When trying to get a new water heater installed in my house, I was initially nervous about hiring. When the guys showed up to the job, they asked me thoroughly what I wanted out of their services. We talked about a few different options, the price for each option, and which would be the easiest to hardest. Any questions I had were answered thoroughly, and any nerves I had about the job were gone. Within a week of my decision, the guys were at my house and finishing the job. When it came to professionalism, knowledge, and general zealousness to do a great job is sufficient time, I wouldn't recommend anybody but F.B. plumbing."

"Well, this isnt really about the company. They were fine and did their part satisfactorily. This is about one of their employees, a Mr Jim Costello. This man is old school fantastic. If you ever need Mr Rooter to come to your house, request this man, you will NOT be sorry. My background (retired now) has a lot of equipment or automotive mechanical experience in it. One thing that always bugged me was 'parts changers'. These type of people didn't know how to fix things or troubleshoot anything, they would just order a whole new this or that and on occasion get lucky and actually make something work Mr Costello is not like that. Not even close. I was having a rather unusual problem that nobody, not even the 'senior tech' could figure out. All he wanted to do was, you guessed it, order a whole new assembly. What Mr Costello, 'Jimmie', did is give me some good old school thinking and figuring and reasoned out the problem. Then, on a Friday evening, when most people would be trying to get home, he went back to the shop, searched for about an hour for the right part, and then came back ,That evening, to fix my heater. To me, an old school type, this meant a lot. For Jimmie, it wasn't about checking off boxes or punching a clock. To a man like Mr Costello, it is the job that matters, the 'git r done' attitude that is sadly lacking in so many people these days. It is too bad Mr Costello doesn't own his own business, he would get all my plumbing business from now on.

"A pipe was leaking inside the wall between the master bathroom and the outside. There was serious water damage to the studs and the wood just fell apart when you touched it. Todd with Reno Renovators came to the rescue! Todd recommended that we remove as much of the siding and insulation before the work started to let it air out and to save money. Once the crew got on the job, it was done within two days. Todd walked us through the whole process, which is nice for first-time homeowners, and his crew did a fantastic job.

My only criticism is that once the initial meeting took place, we didn't hear from him for some time. We understood that we were next on the list after they finished another job, but we didn't hear from him for a couple of weeks. A phone call would have been nice to reassure us that we weren't forgotten."

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, you can have both a water softener and a water filter. In fact, some manufacturers sell dual water softening and filtration systems that treat hard water and provide clean drinking water. If you’re unsure about what you need or want to discuss your options, reach out to a local water softener installation company.
