"Working with Liberty Pure was great. We were able to get an appointment for consultation very quickly. Nick came out for the inspection and helped us figure out the best plan forward without any pressure at all. The company sent Steve out 5 days later to install a new acid neutralizer. Nick and Steve were both great. I would highly recommend Liberty Pure for all of your water treatment/plumbing needs!"

"The reason I didn't use them is because someone came that very day instead of the next week only schedule that was available at Ensor Plumbing. The other company was someone that the other person in the house knew and used. So it wasn't a bad reason for me not using them."

"Honest ABE Plumbing is my new favorite plumber! We needed to replace a water heater, converting it from electric to gas in order to be able to recover hot water quicker. We are on a well, which posed another issue all in it self. Abe Lazar was incredibly patient, giving me my options, explaining GPM recoveries, gave me upfront information on tankless systems, helped me look into a power anode rode....His patience was so much appreciated and his knowledge he shared extremely helpful. He priced our work out for a price that fit our budget and got us the heater we needed. We will use Honest ABE Plumbing again. Fantastic company who hears your needs and makes sure you get what you need in the end."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time. 

Whether you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.

To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process 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 Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.

The most effective way to fix hard water in your shower is by installing a whole-home water softening system. This system treats water as it enters your home, removing the minerals that cause hardness before they can reach your shower or any other fixtures. While this is the most comprehensive solution, other methods are often temporary fixes. For a more affordable and shower-specific option, you can install a water-softening showerhead or a shower filter. However, these filters are generally less effective and may not remove all the contaminants that lead to limescale and hard water stains. By implementing a water softening solution, you can expect a reduction in mineral deposits and enjoy the benefits of cleaner-feeling hair and skin.

There are several things that can shorten the life of a water softener. Homes with very hard water may have to replace the unit sooner because the water softener works harder to filter out the hard minerals. High water usage and infrequent maintenance can also put more strain on a water softener.
