"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."

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

"Excellent service real craftsman.. They responded immediately and helped me with a real headache and serious situation of having no water in my rural home. They were recommended by another trusted local independent businessman and it was sure the best solution. I canâ  t think Tim enough for the prompt service and sticking with me to get it resolved. With winter weather right around the corner it was a dire situation to have a well pump problems and I have been rescued. Thank you"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. 

That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

Whether you need a license or permit for water softener installation depends on your location. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, while others may only require a permit and an inspection. In some cases, both a permit and a licensed installer are necessary, and some areas have no requirements at all. Often, only certified plumbers and electricians are allowed to pull the necessary permits. To find out the specific regulations in your area, you can contact your local building department. Alternatively, a local water softener installer or plumber will be familiar with the requirements and can typically pull the permits 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 tools like Angi’s state licensing tool to verify an installer's license status.

Softener systems extend appliance life spans, improve skin and hair health, and reduce pipe buildup by removing minerals like calcium and magnesium.
