"Starting at the end of last year, I started researching water treatment systems for my home. After checking in with a few companies around town, I discovered Best Water Solutions. When I first called their office to discuss a quote, I ended up talking to Courtney for about half an hour. She gave me information about their services and answered a few questions I had before the estimate. Later on the next week, Jorge came out to my home to evaluate our water needs. He was very honest and straightforward with what was needed for the home. It was a relief to hear that not much was needed. This was a pleasant surprise as other companies around town just tried to sell bigger, complicated, and more expense systems that werenâ t necessary or useful for our situation. He took some water samples to test to confirm that nothing else was needed in addition to his initial evaluation. A couple days later, he called me and let me know that all was well. We only needed a sediment filter, water softener, and reverse osmosis system for our drinking water. This was a relief, but me being a curious person still had a lot of questions. I spent quite a while on the phone with Jorge and he was happy to answer all of my questions. Throughout the whole process, Jorge and Courtney had an approach of education and patience, whereas everyone else I talked to just wanted to sell a system. After the system was quoted and approved, we had an install date a couple weeks out. When the technicians arrived at my home, they were friendly and professional. I went over a few details with them and they had everything setup within a few hours. The install was IMMACULATE. There was great attention to detail and care in handling all the equipment. After the install was complete, the technicians went over everything that was done. I asked them about when to change filters and what was needed maintenance wise for the system. They let me know that I did not need to worry about it as the office would reach out when anything was needed to be done. This was great as it took one more item off my plate to keep track of. It's been great having the confidence that our home water supply and drinking water is now clean and protected. I would highly recommend Best Water Solutions to anyone in the Alachua County area looking for a water treatment system for their home or business."

"I would highly recommend LCRG Enterprises. Izryal has been absolutely tremendous in helping me with both of my properties in central Florida. One property had discolored water, and after a chlorination system was installed, it became instantly better. Izryal still comes by personally each month for service to the system. The other property received a water conditioning system that drastically softened my water. It has been a wonderful enhancement to the house. They have been a fantastic company to work with and I will absolutely be utilizing their services again on my next house."

"From the consultation to the installation, this company was great. I have well water that had a sulfur smell and iron staining. Chuck came out and quoted system, it was priced below 2 other quotes I had received. Work was done professionally and quickly. Water is so much better now. Highly recommend this company. They followed up 2 weeks after install, to make sure all was good. Could not be happier! A++++++"

"Incredible!! Having lived without this system, the buildup of hard water on EVERYTHING was disgusting, expensive if I went any further with the hard water, and the expense of replacing water filters in fridge plus cost of soaps, bottles of water etc was adding up and bad for our earth!!

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.

There are many possibilities for why your shower’s water pressure is low. It might be a simple-to-fix issue like the water valves being partially turned off, a dirty showerhead or hose, leaks in the plumbing, or an old showerhead. However, low water pressure in the shower could also indicate a larger issue with your home’s plumbing system.

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.

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time. 

A water softener is a worthwhile investment if you live in an area with hard water. While hard water is safe to drink, it contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that can cause significant problems over time. These minerals build up inside pipes, reducing water flow and eventually corroding the plumbing system, which can lead to leaks and a shortened lifespan. Hard water also damages fixtures and appliances, potentially resulting in costly repairs. Additionally, it makes soaps and detergents less effective, meaning you'll use more product to get things clean. By installing a water softener, you can prevent these issues. The initial investment is often recouped through long-term savings, including lower energy bills, reduced appliance and plumbing maintenance, and spending less on soap and cleaning supplies. Other benefits include cleaner linens, dishes, and clothing, as well as softer water that is gentler on your skin and hair. In some areas, a water softener can also increase your home's value, making it a valuable long-term investment.
