"Gordon's service tech (Andrew) called to let us know he was 20 minutes away, which was exactly the time we were expecting him. He was courteous, professional and accommodating, and took time to patiently answer our many questions. He pointed out the problem we had with the softener, corrected it, and gave us tips on proper maintenance going forward. Overall, we were impressed with his knowledge, friendliness, and professionalism. Everything you would expect from a quality company like Gordon Water!"

"This is a very simple and elegant system. It takes up very little space in the lower level and the water in my entire house is now odor-free, tastes fresh and clean, and is free of any toxic chemicals. I had it tested after the work was done and I love not having to worry about what chemicals my children, grandchildren, and I are coming into contact with every day. I love my water now!"

"Excellent service, to say the least!  I ordered a 20kW Generac generator from a nationwide distributor and had it shipped directly to my location.  I poured the concrete pad myself, and bolted the generator down.  While somewhat proficient with electrical wiring, I did not trust that I could do this job without issue.  I contacted VanderHyde (they were listed as the primary West Michigan Generac Dealer) and asked if they could do the wiring for me.  Ryan Hyde came out for the quote and spent nearly two hours at my house talking about the transfer switch.  Generac provided a 200 amp switch, but my house was wired for 150.  We agreed that I would give them my 200 amp automatic transfer switch, and they would order a 150 amp switch as a replacement......and I would cover the split cost.....essentially adding $360 on to my bill.  I was fine with that.  Jason did the install on 11-16-2012 and spent 8.5 hours outside.  One trip to Lowes/Home Depot was needed for additional parts to tie into the existing power meter.  A great guy - I asked numerous questions and he explained what he was doing as he worked.  Once done, he came inside and asked if I wanted to be present for the "firing up" up the generator.  Overall the price was a bit high, but I also understand that I did not purchase the generator from them.  I was able to get the generator new for a little over $5000 online, which resulted in a large overall cost savings....so I expected to pay a bit more for the work I did not feel confident in doing myself.  I felt they did an amazing job and I would gladly call them again as needed for additional electrical work.  One a side note, I lost my original installation paperwork in a basement flood two years ago.  I called the company and had a copy of all paperwork in my email inbox in less than five minutes.  NICE!  Please note:  This review will be listed under "water softeners" and I cannot find a way to change it!

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.

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.

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.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

A single shower consumes an average of over 17 gallons, while brushing your teeth with the water running uses up to four unnecessary gallons. Watering the lawn spreads hundreds of gallons of water across the yard each time. Limiting water usage in these areas can significantly cut down your water bill.
