"Sevice tech was on time, professional and took time to explain everything.  However, he said that our central humidifier (attached to the furnace) was shot and needed to be replaced.  His quote to do so was $400 plus.  Had a handyman friend of mine look at it this afternoon.  He unhooked the water line, cleaned everything out and put it back together and everything is working fine. "

"These guys are great. They came out and performed the job so well. I've never had a better experience. They provide a lifetime warranty that stays with the home. The previous home owners had water damage and mold was under my stairs to my basement and these guys cut it out and did a great job."

"The yearly service works out to be $50 a month. We've had two water heaters replaced through them because of a fault in them. They're usually very responsive. I like that I can request the service online. The only thing is, I wish that there was a better avenue for emergency services. If something doesn't work right away usually it takes a couple of days to get someone out and sometimes you can't wait two days without water."

"They took a couple of weeks to do it, but they did a good job at that.  Then I have hired them if I needed regular plumbing, when I needed all the toilets raised and needed the bathroom redone.  They remodeled the kitchen.  I liked their work and I like their workmen.  They were good to have around and they were creative.  They have some older people who have been working with them for years so I like that.  I like them a lot.  I had to buy a new refrigerator.  They sent a guy to install it.  Later they came to repair it and did not charge me anything.  They clean up everything after they are done."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Because it’s been through the water cycle, evaporating and becoming slightly acidic thanks to dissolved carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, rainwater tends to be naturally soft compared to groundwater, which has just been in contact with limestone. However, the natural hardness level of water always depends on where you are and other factors.

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.

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.

It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.

The most effective way to fix hard water in your shower is by installing a whole-home water softening system. This system treats water as it enters your home, removing the minerals that cause hardness before they can reach your shower or any other fixtures. While this is the most comprehensive solution, other methods are often temporary fixes. For a more affordable and shower-specific option, you can install a water-softening showerhead or a shower filter. However, these filters are generally less effective and may not remove all the contaminants that lead to limescale and hard water stains. By implementing a water softening solution, you can expect a reduction in mineral deposits and enjoy the benefits of cleaner-feeling hair and skin.
