"Fixed two shower problems. One was linking and the other didn’t have enough hot water pressure. Jason was able to get a 29 year old shower stem unit replaced saving me hundreds of dollars on one bathroom. The second bathroom needed a water pressure adjustment again saving me hundreds of dollars."

"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.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

You can install a water softener system by turning off the water supply, draining the water, and then connecting your device to the waterline. Next, you’ll fill your tank with the recommended amount of salt or brine (whichever your unit calls for; be sure to read the instructions). Turn the water supply on and check for leaks. You can opt to let your water run for a few minutes, then test it using strips. 

The process of inspecting your water softener system is similar.

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.

Most of the U.S. has hard water, especially across portions of the West and Midwest. The areas with the hardest water include parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Illinois, North and South Dakota, Ohio, and New York. You’ll find soft water in parts of New England, the Southeast, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii.

To get utilities set up on a property, you first have to contact the local department of planning to determine whether your property is able to connect to public utilities. From there, you can work with a structural engineer and/or a building contractor to design the layout of utility lines on the property. The pros will need this information as they begin securing building permits before they can start adding lines.

If your property isn’t able to connect to public utilities, you’ll need to consider working with pros to develop a comfortable off-grid home that will meet your needs.

The most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.
