"Brad came by to inspect our very old water softener that had stopped working. He determined it needed to be replaced and had a new one installed for us the following Monday. He was very informative and didnâ t charge us an arm and a leg. I highly recommend Maineâ s Best Water Treatment."

"I am very pleased with the knowledge, professionalism and payment arrangements to install this system into my home. I was concerned with consumption and showering with my tap water. I no longer have to worry. For myself, family and friends, I know I’ve made the right choice with the right company."

"Matt is awesome. He does quality work for a fair price. He actually did two things for us on two separate days. Replaced our pressure tank (we're on well water) and then installed an outside water spigot for us as our house did not have one. I selected "water heater install" as that was the closest option I could find to a pressure tank. Overall, I highly recommend giving Matt a call for any of your plumbing needs. He's a master plumber, very kind, pleasant to chat with, and most importantly, does a dang fine job with his work. Give him a chance, you'll be thankful you did."

"Chris Dow, the representative who came to our home was not only very knowledgeable but pleasant and thorough during the entire demonstration. We decided after seeing how we would benefit in many ways to have Aerus Electrolux install their water system which was done quickly and professionally. We are enjoying the amazing differences and quality of our water and will for years to come. Thank you Aerus and Chris Dow for a job well done and another very satisfied customer! Leona F."

"The company's responsiveness to our urgent situation was extraordinary. The owner made a 60 mile trip to examine our situation on Sunday morning! He expected at least a week before they could do the work, but he got it done the next morning so that we would have safe water...we had been waiting for another contractor for more than 3 months! The installed radon mitigation system has performed flawlessly. We are grateful and confidently give AquaMax our highest recommendation."

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.

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.

Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.

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.

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.
