"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."

"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

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.

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.

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.

Routine maintenance involves recharging the resin bed with salt or potassium, cleaning components, and periodic inspection.

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.
