"We called several local companies that offered water purification systems and Mike really came through as the most attentive and thoughtful, not to mention he had the best price. We had done research about lots of different system options and in weighing the pros and cons we had had about a million questions and Mike patiently and thoroughly answered each one and made us feel confident in the systems we chose. Mike is clearly experienced and knowledgable in his field and he clearly wants his customers to have quality service and products -- he definitely goes the extra mile! We are super happy with our systems (whole house filtration and RO) and would definitely recommend Mike and Allegiance Water!"

"I would highly recommend Kyle and Pristine Plumbing. He did a great job replumbing our entire house and installing a new water heater at a price that was very affordable. Kyle always returned calls, showed up to the job on schedule and completed the job on schedule."

"I was amazed. Matt was quick to respond to our outage of water. As we talked on the phone he asked pertinent questions that soon helped me realize his knowledge and thoroughness. He was so good that he walked me through some check points and diagnosed my problem over the phone. He told me exactly what to do and the problem which was electrical was quickly fixed. My well was up and running within minutes of his directions. Super great job from a true pro."

"Called yesterday to set up appointment for an estimate on a couple things I needed done. One was to put a water shut off valve somewhere that I didn't need to crawl under the house. The other I needed my toilet fixed. Brent H came out yesterday, gave me an estimate and installed a water shutoff valve and fixed my toilet. Brent was very professional and so fast I was amazed he finished so quickly. Perfect plumbing and heating is amazing and so is Brent!"

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

The most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.

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.

It’s unlikely that hard water on its own could cause substantial hair loss or damage, though it’s true that bathing in hard water can cause your scalp to feel itchy or flaky and might dull your hair’s natural shine. Using high-quality shampoo and conditioner or buying a whole-home water softener can decrease these issues.
