"We were so fortunate to find American Plumbing and Sewer, LLC! We had a quote from someone selling water softeners for $12,000, and we thought, â there has to be another much less expensive option out there!â With Lannyâ s company we got a system of much higher quality that cost 1/4 of the other personâ s quote. Personable, reliable, honest and wonderful customer service are words that describe American Plumbing and Sewer."

"The installer Dustin was great! He was on time and professional. The installation was completed in about four hours as stated the job would be. I am happy with my water softener system and so is my skin!"

"We had a tankless water heater installed. Customer service was fantastic. Lanney and his wife, who own this small business, were so enjoyable to work with. Their price was reasonable. Iâ d highly recommend them. Donâ t look any further you want this family owned business to take care of you. Lillian Gahring"

"Pure Water beat the other contractors on price and what we received as a product. We couldn't be happier with the installation. We now have hot water on demand on the opposite side of the house where it could take 5 min of water running for the water to be hot. Pure Water also installed a water softener and now our hard water is soft! Patrick who did the install was professional, personable, picked up what little mess there was, explained everything once the install was complete. We are so pleased we have them on the hook for a fireplace gas line and will have several bathroom projects going forward. We could not recommend Pure Water Services more. Thank you"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

Softened water prevents scale deposits, reducing appliance wear, leading to energy savings and longer-lasting household fixtures.

Yes, a water softener can remove scale deposits. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, after you add a water softener to your home, “gradually the softer water will dissolve limescale scale deposits and remove the problem entirely.” Installing a water softener—or water descaler—will also help prevent new scale deposits from forming.

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.

Hard water stains can be a headache because they will reoccur as long as hard water flows through. Thankfully, hard water stains are not permanent. With the right tools and an appropriate cleaning routine, you can prevent hard water stains from ever building up. However, you might feel like you are stuck in a constant cleaning cycle. In that case, you may consider hiring a contractor to perform routine cleaning.
