"Tom from Able Well was knowledgeable and courteous.He and his partner installed new bladder tank and fixture.Although I may need a new well in the future,for now,everything, including improved water pressure is working great.Highly recommended-I should add prompt response and the fact they stayed until almost 9PM to finish the job."

"Discovered no water pressure late one evening and leaving for vacation next day.  Called R&G at 11:30 pm and Rick walked us through the possible issues.  He was at our house the next morning and found the problem quickly and at a minimal cost.  He absolutely saved our Spring vacation as we could not have left with no water at the house.  Very knowledgeable about water pumps, provided a quote to replace ours at it is reaching the end of it's life and I won't consider using anyone else!"

"We had the reverse osmosis put in for our drinking water. Then we had the whole house filtration system put in. Justin and Charlie tested our water for free and gave us the results. They were great in explaining everything about the water systems. We made an appointment to have the installation of everything done the next week. The installers were great and answered any and all questions we had. We would highly recommend Justin and ClearWave Water Solutions!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.

A water softener is a worthwhile investment if you live in an area with hard water. While hard water is safe to drink, it contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that can cause significant problems over time. These minerals build up inside pipes, reducing water flow and eventually corroding the plumbing system, which can lead to leaks and a shortened lifespan. Hard water also damages fixtures and appliances, potentially resulting in costly repairs. Additionally, it makes soaps and detergents less effective, meaning you'll use more product to get things clean. By installing a water softener, you can prevent these issues. The initial investment is often recouped through long-term savings, including lower energy bills, reduced appliance and plumbing maintenance, and spending less on soap and cleaning supplies. Other benefits include cleaner linens, dishes, and clothing, as well as softer water that is gentler on your skin and hair. In some areas, a water softener can also increase your home's value, making it a valuable long-term investment.

No, hard water isn’t dangerous. The added calcium in hard water can contribute to good bone health. However, it can also cause dry skin and hair. If you have dry skin or hair, consider using a water-softening system to help minimize the minerals in your water. Plus, these systems can also add some sodium to your diet. 

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.
