"A little on the pricey side but not that much more than others. Thing was, when Ben showed up I was expecting a two or three day wait but he told me that he could get right on it. Soon he was on the phone and before you know it I had more Downing trucks in my drive than a plumbers convention. The wife and I laughed that the neighbors probably thought that we must have had a major plumbing failure. Soon Dave showed up to assist with the installation and in just a few hours our shiny new tubs and faucets were ready to go. All of the workmen were very polite and capable. This is the third time that I've used Downing in as many years and I am satisfied. Thanks guys."

"Wonderful company! Last year we hurried up and had new home heating and cooling system installed just as the pandemic was hitting. The installation was quick and painless. In fact, the workmen finished about two hours early without cutting any corners. Very professional! The representative, Tom, was very personable and came out to check the finished job. I believe we may have even gotten an upgrade on the equipment. The two systems have work perfectly. The two maintenance visits were perfect as well. The workman, Tim, arrived on time, took his time to do his job well, and was very polite without being intrusive or falsely friendly. We chose Maglish because a colleague from work recommended them. And sure enough, the best recommendations come from friends. We look forward to Maglish servicing our new systems for decade to come. We will look to them to do other work as well."

"OSBY Installed a water softener system in my new home in Cedar Lake,IN and put the regeneration and overflow to my sump pump and not my sanitary drain. Their system malfunctioned and sent salt water to my sump pit which pumped pure salt water on the side of my house, killing over 100FT of new sod. When I called and told the service tech what happened, I was told that OSBY should have never put the piping to my sump pump. OSBY Came out and said to give it a few weeks and if the grass didn't come back, they would replace. After one month they said they would not replace my sod and proceeded to tell me that they didn't need my money and if I wasn't happy they would remover their system and refund my money, of which I gladly took them up on. They refuse to take responsibility of the damage their system caused to not only my, but my neighbors grass and will not reimburse me for the $500 it cost me to have my grass replaced. This is not a standup company! They will tell you anything to sell you there equipment, and wont take responsibility when there equipment that was installed wrong, make things right. When they came to pick up their faulty equipment, they wanted me to sign a receipt stating that my floor drain was clogged, sending salt water to my sump pit. A HUGE LIE!!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Just as hard water can wreak havoc on your skin by drying it out, it’s also not great for your hair. That’s because hard water won’t rinse out shampoo and conditioner as effectively as soft water can. All that product buildup isn’t good news for your hair, which can look dull and limp over time with hard water.

Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.

The license requirements for water softener installation depend on your location. Some municipalities require that the installer hold a plumbing license, some require a permit and an inspection, but no license for the installer, and some require a permit and a license for the installer. Regardless of the local laws in your area, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed plumber or installer. These pros will install your system properly and have the experience to size the system appropriately. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your installer’s license status.

Water softener installation costs vary, but on average, homeowners will pay between $200 and $6,000. Due to their location, complexity, type of unit, and water demands, water softeners have a very wide price range. That being said, the average installation cost for most homes is around $1,500.

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.
