"We also entertained a bid from another company that opened our eyes. Everett Was honest, candid, and realistic about what could be done. Where as the other company was vague, and used hard sell tactics. We were impressed when Everett brought in a kit to test our water, even though he had expressed concern that we may not have room in our laundry room for a water softener. Whereas the other guy made no effort to test anything, but told us a uv light unit couldn't properly do its job on our well water w/o a water softener unit. Naturally that was my first question for Everett. He said no, the light had a filter, and the hardness of the water had nothing to do with it...NO UPSELL. The other guy was very vague about pricing, but said we needed to lock it in because things are so crazy right now, it could jump thousands of dollars. That guy finally gave me an estimate between $3000-$6000. Quite alot of wiggle room there. EVERETT ON THE OTHER HAND, was open and honest about cost from our first conversation. His son, Austin showed up early, did a great job, and was very patient explaining things to us. So if your looking for a company that knows what they are doing, and relies on honest realism to sell there product, Jones Air and Water will take good care of you."

"Was surprised to get a response as quickly as I did. Even more surprised that he was able to complete the job the next day. Plumbers in this area are few and far between. We have a lot of iron in our water so this system has a third tank that addresses this issue instead of a small filter that we had to replace quite frequently."

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

Softened water prevents scale deposits, reducing appliance wear, leading to energy savings and longer-lasting household fixtures.

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.

Hard water is not considered unhealthy and is safe to drink, cook with, and bathe in. It doesn't pose a risk to your physical health and can even help you get enough essential minerals like calcium in your diet. However, it can negatively affect skin and hair. Using hard water for washing can contribute to dry skin, an itchy scalp, and may worsen conditions like eczema by altering the pH balance. Additionally, some people do not like the taste of hard water.

Most of the U.S. has hard water, especially across portions of the West and Midwest. The areas with the hardest water include parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Illinois, North and South Dakota, Ohio, and New York. You’ll find soft water in parts of New England, the Southeast, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii.

While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.
