"Lack of hot water in shower was my original concern, water pressure was lower than normal. Plumber showed up and found lower element on water heater leaking. Replaced water heater with tankless water heater and installed new pressure tank. Hot water at all house sinks but not at shower, called back and plumber installed a new mixing valve in shower handle and problem taken care of."

"I needed parts for my Kenmore Elite dishwasher and my refrigerator.  The store does not carry the parts, but they gave me the 800 number to call.  The representative on the phone was very friendly and helpful.  The dishwasher needed a plug for the rinse aid.  The refrigerator needed new shelves for the door.  After ordering these items, the rep asked if I needed a new filter for the water dispenser.  I hadn't thought of this and was pleased he reminded me that I needed to change the filter.  I would definitely use the Sears home improvement service in the future."

Water Softeners questions, 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.

Water softeners have many benefits. The most important one is converting previously hard water—water with too many minerals—to more usable, easier water. When we say easier water, we mean water that’s easier to digest, less harsh on skin and clothes, and builds up less in the water system. Softer water may lead to lower energy costs and will extend the lifespan of all appliances that use water.

Generally, it is safe to bathe in yellow water, as the color is often caused by iron, tannins, or rust, which won't harm your skin. Soap will still clean you effectively, though the water might leave stains. However, if the water has an unusual smell or you suspect contamination, avoid bathing and contact a plumber for an inspection. A professional can also help if you find bathing in yellow water problematic and want to determine how to get your water clear again.

Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.

Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.
