"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."

"Rich Buccelli communicated by phone in a timely fashion and arrived on schedule and on point. Rich and his son worked together to identify the water leak location, cut ceiling and professionally repaired the leak in different places including ceiling, under sink and water faucets in basement serving outside garden and driveway areas. During the contract time, Rich demonstrated compassion while speaking with me (client) regarding my home and helped make me feel calm during the process. Rich also shared his professional experience on how to winterize my home for the season and professional knowledge on my home heating system. I recommend and will hire Rich and his son for future projects including winterization. With thanks, John"

"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.

"They called me within 10 minutes of posting my problem. I explained my issue over the phone, they also had me send pictures of my well water tank and they were at my house to replace my tank by noon. Took a couple of hours and everything was back to normal. Great customer service from beginning to end, price was given to me upfront and was very reasonable. They did a great job, I will definitely call them again if needed in the future."

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

The primary difference between a water softener and a water filter lies in what they remove from the water. A water softener is designed to remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. In contrast, a water filter has a broader effect, removing various contaminants above a certain size, which can include bacteria and other impurities.

To decide which you need, consider your goal. If you want to eliminate hard minerals, choose a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, a filter is the better option. Filters are also generally less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply, you may need to install both for comprehensive treatment.

Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.

There are many possibilities for why your shower’s water pressure is low. It might be a simple-to-fix issue like the water valves being partially turned off, a dirty showerhead or hose, leaks in the plumbing, or an old showerhead. However, low water pressure in the shower could also indicate a larger issue with your home’s plumbing system.

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.

It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.
