"Huge shout out to the crew at Main Stream Mechanical. Eric came out, reviewed my current system, and gave me his recommendation for replacing my furnace and hot water heater with a new, energy efficient furnace/hot water heater. Brenda, as always, was a pleasure to deal with. Answered all my emails and calls promptly and gave me all the information I needed in a timely manner. She even went out of her way to register my new furnace and provide me with all the information I needed to apply for my rebate! Nick and Marcus did a great job installing my new furnace/hot water heater. Both were very friendly and professional. Nick answered all my questions, gave me a “tutorial” on the emergency shut off procedure for my new furnace, and did a fantastic job re-plumbing all the lines needed for the install. I highly recommend Main Stream Mechanical for all your HVAC needs."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

A good hardness level for drinking water can vary based on personal preferences, but an ideal level is 3.5 to 7 GPG. This means your water isn’t soft or hard. However, some people prefer the “fresh” taste from the minerals in hard water, while others like the smoother, “slippery” texture of soft water.

Yes, it is safe to bathe in yellow water. The iron or tannin content won’t harm your skin, and soap will clean you whether your water is clear or yellow. If you find bathing in yellow water problematic, you can ask a pro to inspect your plumbing and determine how to get your water clear again.

A tankless water heater should be at least 10 feet away from a water softener, although the pros you hire for water softener installation can help you determine the correct distance. These two units need to have some distance between them to prevent hot water from the tankless water heater from flowing backward into the water softener when it runs a regeneration cycle.

Water softener versus water filter: which one should you choose? If you want to remove minerals, opt for a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, go for a filter. Or, you can install both.

It’s unlikely that hard water on its own could cause substantial hair loss or damage, though it’s true that bathing in hard water can cause your scalp to feel itchy or flaky and might dull your hair’s natural shine. Using high-quality shampoo and conditioner or buying a whole-home water softener can decrease these issues.
