"Ryan came to house and reviewed our needs and what was available. Everything was explained to us so we understood what was to be installed and what what future services we would need (filter changes and when to expect the need to change filters). The filter system was installed the next week and was done in a professional manner. We would definitely recommend them for water filtration needs."
"Great experience with N&N Water Solutions! They serviced my water softener, were friendly and professional, and got everything working great. Definitely recommend them!"
"My house had no water coming out of our faucets so I did some research and found Clear water and pump well service I called spoke to a nice ladyon the phone she made a appointment for the next day ,when the came and they told me it was the well water pump needed to replaced so they fixed it plus they also said needed to replace the well tank in the house and they fixed that too,. I highly recommend Clear Water and Pump &Well."
"They were very fast to respond to my call and were able to send someone within two hours. The replacement of the hot water heater went well. For the water pipes they use copper crimp fittings instead of soldering so it will be interesting to see how that holds up over the years. My only concern is how they ran the gas line. They use Gastite CSST which is fine, but the CSST is run so it goes downward then back up and then downward again before it enters black pipe that has a moisture trap. It seems to me that if there is any moisture it will end up in the CSST instead of the trap. In addition, there is a pretty good bend in the CSST right before it goes into the trap section. Also, Teflon tape was used on the all the joints instead of joint compound. I think I will get someone from a different company to come in and take a look at it."
"They were wonderful! My well pump just stopped working. Losing water in your home is close to going back in time - No water means suffering through no water to drink, no toilets, no bathing, and limited or no cooking. Imagine my surprise when I got a call from Clear Water within an hour of searching on Angi. They were at my door the following morning and they troubleshot, diagnosed, and repaired and/or replaced the failed parts within a few hours. The workers were fast, efficient, professional, and mannerly. I'm definitely squirreling their number away for any future water pump or well issues."
"Good experience overall. Micah was very knowledgeable. Was surprised to see that all of the suggested options were proprietary. Very expensive but seems like options would certainly address the needs I am seeking. Will possibly utilize one or two options/products but not all. "
"My boiler stop working come to find out it was the gas valve and it need to be clean out. I love the experience I had with the company that was very transparent and open with the task step by step"

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.
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.
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.
