"Clear source is a wonderful water softener company! They made sure the instillation was at a convenient time and date that worked perfectly with my schedule. I am so glad I got a water softener and reverse osmosis. My skin is soft and moisturized now! Even better, I donâ t have to buy water anymore. Also, I use less detergent to wash my dishes which leaves more money to spend on vacations with my family. I would recommend them without hesitation."

"The plumbers from Superior Plumbing were excellent. They replaced and rerouted water pipes, changing from galvanized to copper pipes. The sewer lines in our house were repaired. They also replaced an aging hot water heater. The technicians arrived on time, worked diligently through the day, and were efficient. We added on the sewer repair which added an additional day. All work was completed within four days. I am impressed with their knowledge and workmanship. The technicians were tidy and removed all our old materials including the hot water heater. I would recommend Superior Plumbing and Drainage Co without hesitation."

"The sewer line backed up at 8PM on a Sunday night. Called J Drains because they could come out right away. We've had problems with tree roots in the past, so figured that was the issue. They showed up around 10PM and stayed until 12AM, but were unable to clear the blockage. The person came back the next day and eventually cleared the blockage, or so I thought. One week later it was clogged again. Ended up calling another company who replaced a 12 ft section of the main sewer line between the house clean out and the city clean out (all under the yard, not the patio, thankfully).
I give J Drains credit for showing up late at night and trying to fix the issue. However, in retrospect, the guy that showed up did not really know what he was doing. The house clean out (a two way clean out) was holding water, which means that the clog was downstream. The city clean out 12 ft away was dry, so clearly the clog was in between those two. However, time after time, he put the cable down the clean out and fed out nearly 60 ft of line. Obviously that was running into the house, and he could have damaged the plumbing in the house. Then he tried to tell me that the clog was upstream of the house clean out that was holding water. How is that possible?! There was talk of busting up the courtyard patio, etc. He even took the cable up on the roof and went through a bathroom vent trying to clear the blockage. Eventually, he got lucky, and the cable went the correct direction through the house clean out, punching through the clog. Too bad the sewer line was so damaged, that a week later, it had to be replaced. This time, by a company who could correctly locate the position of the blockage, and recommend a logical plan of attack.
The last thing that bothered me about J Drains was the bill. While the cost was reasonable, the guy who came out told me that his boss wanted him to charge me over $1000 for a list of things. He proceeded to tell me that he was going to waive all those fees and only charge me $400 total (for the previous night plus that day). At the time, I thought I was getting a deal, but the more I thought about it, the more it annoyed me. It felt like they were jacking their prices up, so they could then discount it, making me feel better about what I was paying. If he was really invoicing people for less than half what he should, he'd be out of a job. So clearly, this is a company practice to make people think they're getting a deal. Not professional at all.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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. 

A water softener removes minerals from your drinking water and can make your house water softer. These softeners are designed to extend the lifetime of your plumbing system while also making water safer and more palatable for drinking. Hard water, which is water with a heavy amount of suspended particles, can also cause hair damage, skin irritation, and buildup in your pipes.

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.

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.

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.
