"I've never been treated worse by a professional services firm than how I was treated by All Pro today. Made appt. for summer place in Union Pier 3 days in advance and drove 3 hrs. the night before to ensure I was there to meet them in the morning. On scheduled day of service, the plumber had problems with the address, and when I finally flagged him down in the street, he was hostile, aggressive, and abusive. When I'd had enough, I told him to stop barking at me and remember that I was the customer. He was so agitated and unstable, he just yelled to "go find someone else" and drove off. Furious, I phoned the office and explained what happened; the woman on the phone was adequately apologetic and promised to discuss with a manager and get right back to me. Within 10-15 minutes, I received a call that another crew would be at my place within the hour. This happened as planned, and new plumber was actually considerate and professional. HOWEVER; tried to sell me on a lower quality water heater that was priced 60% higher than a quote from a competing company so I told him, no thanks, please just work on flushing out the clogged pipes. After conferring with his office, he told me he could not do this work as he was not certified on the specific tasks to be done. Again, very upset... I called the office and asked why they sent me someone who couldn't even perform the work I'd requested?? They told me they wouldn't be able to perform the work until almost a week later. And I still had to pay the stupid $69 service fee for which I received: unprofessional behavior, and NO SERVICES PERFORMED WHATSOEVER. I will never use this company and will make sure all of my neighbors are aware of this incident. Completely unexpected and unacceptable."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

It’s sometimes possible to install a water softener yourself, but it’s usually better to hire a water softener professional to get the job done. Water softeners involve plumbing and electrical work, which usually require permits and a certified expert to sign off on the work. Not only is it dangerous to work with these utility lines, but it’s also not legal in many areas. Plus, improper installation or system sizing might not fix your hard water issue and could lead to an increased risk of leaks, fires, and other property damage. 

Yes, it is safe to bathe in yellow water. The iron or tannin content won’t harm your skin, and soap will clean you whether your water is clear or yellow. If you find bathing in yellow water problematic, you can ask a pro to inspect your plumbing and determine how to get your water clear again.

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.

If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. 

That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

No, hard water isn’t dangerous. The added calcium in hard water can contribute to good bone health. However, it can also cause dry skin and hair. If you have dry skin or hair, consider using a water-softening system to help minimize the minerals in your water. Plus, these systems can also add some sodium to your diet.
