"Mike Saia returned our call within 3 minutes after we called on a Saturday morning. He and his son were at our house within an hour. Three hours later we had a new hot water heater and we’re up to code. The service was excellent and very professional. We highly recommend Saia for your plumbing needs. Danny and Judy Nodurft"

"Micah with Pipe Runners Plumbing did an awesome job of replacing an old water heater for us. He was knowledgeable and recommended several ways for me to keep the water heater functioning well for a longer life of the unit. He was very polite and addressed some other questions that I had in regard to plumbing. He will be my go to plumber and I will refer him to my friends in the area. He did an excellent job of walking me through the process after hours last night when I realized my water heater was not functioning correctly. He scheduled the replacement in a timely manner as I didn't expect to be able to get it done so quickly. I would recommend Pipe Runners Plumbing Repair for all your plumbing needs."

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.

Experts recommend that you put two to four bags of potassium chloride in your water softener every month. This amount depends on how much is in the bag (40 pounds is most common) and what your water softener manufacturer recommends. For more specific advice, talk to a water softener pro in your area and read the manual that came with your system.

No, a water descaler won't descale pipes. The charged water running through the pipes may very slowly dissolve mineral deposits and hold them inside the water, but it's a very gradual process. If your pipes do need descaling, it's much better to get a local plumber to descale your pipes.

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 average cost to install a water softener, including the system and labor, is approximately $1,500. However, the total price can range widely from $600 to $6,000. For some complete systems, the cost may be between $800 and $2,500. Labor for the installation typically costs between $150 and $1,000.

The final price is influenced by several factors, including:

  • System type, capacity, and complexity

  • Home size and household water demands

  • Water hardness levels

  • Accessibility of the installation site and the extent of plumbing work required

  • Whether new electrical work is needed

  • The professional hired and any local permit costs
