"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

Most of the U.S. has hard water, especially across portions of the West and Midwest. The areas with the hardest water include parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Illinois, North and South Dakota, Ohio, and New York. You’ll find soft water in parts of New England, the Southeast, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii.

Yes. Hard water is what causes scale buildup, and a whole-house filter provides numerous benefits beyond water softening. Any water that enters your home will go through the filter, which cleans up all water that you will use for cooking, bathing, and drinking. A whole-house water filter also blocks harmful particles like heavy metals.

There are several things that can shorten the life of a water softener. Homes with very hard water may have to replace the unit sooner because the water softener works harder to filter out the hard minerals. High water usage and infrequent maintenance can also put more strain on a water softener.

The main difference between water softeners and water filters is that softeners remove hard minerals from the water, while filters have more of a blanket effect, removing all contaminants above a certain size. Filters are also much less expensive to install and protect against bacteria and other impurities. Depending on your water supply, you may need both.

Water softener life spans range from 10 to 25 years, with most lasting around 15 years on average. After the 10-year mark, you may see your softener’s performance diminish as it progresses in age. Proper water softener maintenance can impact how long your water softener lasts. Likewise, a home with very hard water or a high demand will put more demand on your softener, which in turn shortens its life span.
