Should I hire a professional or replace a water softener myself?

• <div><p>If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. </p><p>That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.</p></div>

Q: What's the best way to fix hard water in the shower?

• <div><p>The best way to fix hard water in a shower is by installing a water softener system. This is the only way to truly ensure that hard water doesn't enter your shower&mdash;or any part of your home beyond the water softener. Most other methods are temporary fixes. While you can choose a shower filter, these filters aren&rsquo;t as effective and may not remove many contaminants that cause limescale and hard water stains.</p></div>

Q: How does a water softener impact household appliances and fixtures?

• <div><p>Softened water prevents scale deposits, reducing appliance wear, leading to energy savings and longer-lasting household fixtures.</p></div>

Q: Will installing a water softener in my house reduce calcium hardness in my pool?

• <div><p>Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won&rsquo;t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn&rsquo;t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-water-softener-installation-cost.htm"> water softener installation cost</a> is between <b>$200 and $6,000</b>.</p></div>

Q: What causes poor water pressure in the shower?

• <div><p>There are many possibilities for why your shower&rsquo;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&rsquo;s plumbing system.</p></div>
