"RainSoft of Northern Michigan has improved our water.

"Jalen was an outstanding technician. He did a thorough assessment of our equipment and made sure everything was working. He also changed the filters on my RO system to ensure my family has the best drinking water possible. Thank you for sending such a great tech to our home."
"Tim was just here. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. I couldn't have asked for a better appointment, and my new water softener will be installed tomorrow!"
"I have called this company to repair a leaky toilet as well as repair to my water heater. In both instances, they responded quickly, were professional, friendly, and able to expertly make the needed repairs. I highly recommend Brock Mechanical and going forward will choose to call on them for needed services."
"Great people to work with. We had a water softener and carbon filter installed and they work great. The well water has a lot of iron and some sulfur that smelled a little bad. After the system was installed the water is clear and has no smell at all. I highly recommend this company."
"We just moved into our house from city water to well water. We did not understand the water softener system the tech took the time to explain how it works. He was very friendly and I would call them back for future service if needed."
It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.
Water purifiers and water softeners serve different purposes, so the best one will depend on your particular needs. Water purifiers remove contaminants from water (such as bacteria, viruses, and chemicals), leaving you with ultra-clean and safe water. However, water softeners remove minerals from your water so that the water doesn’t leave stains around your house or cause plumbing problems.
Soft water is better for your hair. The minerals in hard water can dry out hair, make it brittle, and leave a film on the hair and scalp that may cause irritation. Hard water also doesn't rinse out shampoo and conditioner effectively, which can lead to product buildup that makes hair look dull and limp. You may also find you need to use more shampoo to get a good lather in hard water.
Hard water isn’t necessarily bad for you. In some ways, it’s good for you. If you’re deficient in magnesium or calcium, hard water can give you a mineral boost that you wouldn’t get with soft water. However, this is where the benefits of hard water pretty much stop. Hard water can cause many minor inconveniences and lead to costly, premature replacements of your water-using appliances.
Hard water doesn’t hurt, but it might feel more abrasive, especially if you have sensitive skin. It’s also about how your skin feels after bathing. You might feel as though you have a sticky film over your body because you do—it’s all that soapy residue left behind because the hard water can’t rinse it off completely.
