"Empire plumbing, owner Lee carries my strongest recommendations. Dependable, honest, professional, and just a nice person. He cares about getting what you want, even if it takes some “ MacGyuer” handy work, which is what was needed to install a whole house water filtration system in my small bathroom closet. Thankyou Lee. You are the best! I’m so pleased I found you."

"Secondwind Water Systems was excellent from start to finish. The process began about three months ago with Jesse, a Certified Water Specialist, who thoroughly tested our water and designed a comprehensive system. He was patient, informative, and never pushy while I took time to decide. Installation was completed this past Monday and included sediment filtration, a water softener, radon and PFAS removal, and reverse osmosis to our drinking water and refrigerator ice maker. Patrick, the senior technician, and his assistant Ronald were professional, knowledgeable, and did a very clean, well-organized basement install. Patrick took the time to explain how the system works and what maintenance is required. Christine in the office was friendly and extremely helpful with payment and organizing all documentation needed for state reimbursement related to the PFAS system. Highly recommend Secondwind Water Systems for quality work and excellent customer service."

"George and his team did an excellent job with the install. I received quotes that were much higher for the same project and similar systems. As busy as George was he always answered my questions leading up to the install and was there right when he said he would be. George even helped me plumb a water line to my refrigerator and didn't charge me for the material he used! I have already recommended Absolute Water Systems to a friend and will certainly be using them for any future projects."

"They showed up on time and kept busy until the job was done, took all day, which was fine. However, all of the brand new copper and water filtration system we had just paid for in the prior work done a week before, had all been taken down, which is fine but Ward Water took all of the brand new copper piping and kept it, which I hadn't realized until they were gone. What also struck me as odd, was when they finished, I was out front waiting for my daughter to get off the school bus. They packed up and drove from the back yard into the front where I was standing. I thought they were going to stop and explain what they did, how to maintain this system, what type of salt and soda ash to buy, better yet, how I even mix the solution to pour into the softener system so I don't accidently poison or harm my family, as we drink, cook and bathe with it. No, they kept on driving away, so I thought maybe they had to run and get a part at the store and they would be back but no, that was it. In the meantime, my mother had made the check out to Ward Water for payment before talking to me, so that was that. When I went down stairs, I was shocked to find that everyt hing we had just paid for the week prior was 1, taken down but 2, gone from the house. Then I see a big bin of salt connected to this very hard to understand computer system, a bucket of soda ash next to it, and an empty bucket marked with a sharpie stating "fill line" I had to read the manuals they left a million times and had to figure out on my own how to mix the solution, I assumed where they marked " fill line " was how much water to use and they marked the soda ash cup, so I assumed that was how much to use for the water bucket. They left the empty bag to the salt, my guess was that was going to tell me what salt to purchase but left no advice on where to buy these things, no spare filters for the filtration, but the work we paid for the week before, that plumber showed us how to use everything, stocked us up with spare filters, showed us all work performed etc.. Ward Water just did the work, explained nothing, left us guessing what their sharpie comments were about, took all of our new copper piping and replaced it with plastic flimsy piping, took our new water filtration system we just paid for as well, left nothing that we paid for the week before. I would have kept that copper piping in case of future breaks, leaks, repairs etc..And, it should have been up to us to either hold on to the new filtration system we had just paid for the week prior or sell it to help pay for what Ward Water did. I was very disappointed that they took our materials that we paid for but also, didn't take 5 minutes to at least tell me what they did, show me how to mix the solution, use the computer, where to buy more materials, or ask me if I wanted to keep MY copper or water filtration system, as it was obvious that they were all brand new and then to replace all the copper with plastic was very disappointing. My mother paid a pretty penny for the work they performed but we were left reading the manuals, which are so hard to understand and guessing and learning as we went. Overall, I wouldn't recommend Ward Water unless you will be down in your basement right over their shoulders the whole time. Thanks

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

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 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.

Yes, a water softener can remove scale deposits. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, after you add a water softener to your home, “gradually the softer water will dissolve limescale scale deposits and remove the problem entirely.” Installing a water softener—or water descaler—will also help prevent new scale deposits from forming.

Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won’t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn’t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average water softener installation cost is between $200 and $6,000.
