"They removed my old broken water softener & replaced with new one. They did a great job. I only use Flat Irons Plumbing for all my plumbing work. They also recently replaced my old leaking hot water heater & replaced with tankless. I Love it."

"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"

"first jim needem was so professional, caring about my water situation. he immediately called me back and set up a service for a sunday. Ben came and i can not say enough about his patience,professionalism, caring and was so helpful with my situation. He took the time to educate us and help us understand the system. He checked all points of our water in our house. he also had some suggestions for the future which we will do. this company also has a person to extract water thru my insurance for my carpet. He left nothing out. His expertise and honesty was amazing. I hope everyone who reads this will use this company. If there were 20 stars they would definitely get them. I am so thankful for their customer service, and kindness. Thank you Jim and Ben colleen L in Broomfield colorado"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

If your ‘do isn’t doing what you want it to do despite using good hair care products, hard water might be to blame. Since hard water can’t rinse soap off as well as soft water can, your hair might grow limp because of the shampoo and conditioner residue that’s left behind. If you color your hair, you might see it fade more quickly or even turn a different shade as the dye reacts with the minerals in the water. You might also experience an itchy scalp, thanks to the dryness that comes from bathing in the hard water.

Routine maintenance involves recharging the resin bed with salt or potassium, cleaning components, and periodic inspection.

Hard water is not considered unhealthy and is safe to drink, cook with, and bathe in. It doesn't pose a risk to your physical health and can even help you get enough essential minerals like calcium in your diet. However, it can negatively affect skin and hair. Using hard water for washing can contribute to dry skin, an itchy scalp, and may worsen conditions like eczema by altering the pH balance. Additionally, some people do not like the taste of hard water.

Whether you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.

To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process 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 Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.
