"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."

"I interviewed 3 different water purification companies, because having safe, good water is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT investments we can make in our home and for our good health (both in the short term AND in the long term). My urgent (because of my timetable) inquiry to the companies was for an estimate to install a Reverse Osmosis (RO) Purification System, knowing that was my base cost, but also knowing Iâ d inquire about the other water systems at the time of the inquiry. We have purification systems at 3 homes, therefore I know costs and some aspect of the business practices. The owners of Water Air and You, Mr and Mrs Les Strong, heard the urgency in my situation in a new condo in Peoria, and came to visit immediately. They explained that to truly purify the water, that is, to achieve the level of pure water that I wanted, the mechanism would involve 3 systems, but NOT to panic, because the price would be very good, I am a cancer surgeon at a university in Tampa, FL,, and Les and Judy conveyed warmth, encouragement, and sound information about water treatment systems. Their estimate was very fair, very comparable with what our other water treatment systems cost in Florida and in our other Home. Their company is the ONLY company that did not take advantage of our desperate timetable and needs. The installer for Water, Air and You, Phil, was just as professional and kind and knowledgeable as the owners, although his assistant was not so on par with the others. Iâ m still amazed that I almost chose the first company to respond to my request for an estimate, though it was over 3x the cost I expected for the the RO system installation ALONE. I am so glad I restrained the impulse to just â get it done.â Les and his amazing team (â ¦. ESPECIALLY Judy, his Superlady-wife) were out to visit our newly purchased condo, the very next day, and they installed the systems the following day. The professionals (â ¦ at every level) at Water Air and You listen carefully and work ever so diligently, to educate their customers about water (ie the sources of city-water, governmental mechanisms of water treatment, and why after-care of this â cleanâ water (â ¦ and I use therm VERY loosely, here) is so absolutely imperative. Les and Judy explained how different water treatment systems work and work together, to make your water safe, delicious, and enjoyable. Les and Judy entered our home with warmth, kindness, invaluable information, and absolutely NO PRESSURE, just information and options. I cannot speak highly enough about them or their company. Phil, the installer, was especially respectful of our needs, was very attentive to any drill holes and such, and he carefully cleaned up his installation debris. The company, Water Air and You, is truly one of the rare and pure examples of an honest, hard working business, holding up â old-schoolâ values, traditions, and business practices."

"I canâ t recommend Betsworth Mechanical enough. Scott was right on time, professional, and extremely kind. The previous owner of our home did not maintain our water heater up to code, and Scott saw this and quickly corrected the issue. This correction not only got the job done, it made us feel safer in our house. All around great experience."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

You can install a water softener system by turning off the water supply, draining the water, and then connecting your device to the waterline. Next, you’ll fill your tank with the recommended amount of salt or brine (whichever your unit calls for; be sure to read the instructions). Turn the water supply on and check for leaks. You can opt to let your water run for a few minutes, then test it using strips. 

The process of inspecting your water softener system is similar.

If your ‘do isn’t doing what you want it to do despite using good hair care products, hard water might be to blame. Since hard water can’t rinse soap off as well as soft water can, your hair might grow limp because of the shampoo and conditioner residue that’s left behind. If you color your hair, you might see it fade more quickly or even turn a different shade as the dye reacts with the minerals in the water. You might also experience an itchy scalp, thanks to the dryness that comes from bathing in the hard water.

While it depends on how complicated the unit and installation is, it takes two to four hours to install a water softener unit, on average. It might take longer if pipes need to be replaced. You should make sure the installation area is clear of any objects that might get in the way before you begin.

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.

Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.
