"Originally, I hired Tubbs to just deliver salt.. Very Prompt.. However, 3 times softener was so overfilled it created a 'bridge'.. The last time it happened my rubber mallet did NOT work to break it up.. the bridge was like a 'solid ice cube' and Tubbs REFUSED to resolve the issue.. ***I had to HIRE CULLIGAN TO bring a special tool to fix the issue!!***.. I forgave them for that also.. My water softener needed replacing.. They were quick to get it done BUT same day, I developed a electrical issue.. For some reason, unit was throwing the breaker.. never happened with old softener.. They denied it was 'related to new softener'.. Electrician revamped electrical so that new unit would no longer pose a problem.. What went un-noticed when they replaced the softener is this- my reverse osmosis filters are maybe 3 inches from the softener and they removed one of the filters as, CLEARLY it was in the way, I understand that.. However, it is 6 weeks ago since installation and I only notice last week when I cleaned the utility room.. Called to ask them to please put it back so that I do NOT have to pay a pricey service call from Mulligan.. They DENIED removing it!!... Tubbs Soft Water and I are the ONLY PEOPLE who are ever in that room!!.. ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY because they are evidently NOT HUMAN and never make mistakes!.. Hired NEW company today, enough is enough.."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

It depends on the type of surface. For instance, if you’re trying to get rid of hard water deposits on glass, you can spray vinegar onto the surface and wipe it off with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. However, if the deposits are on granite or natural stone, it’s better to use baking soda and water rather than vinegar or other acidic cleaners.

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.

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.

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.

Hard water stains can be a headache because they will reoccur as long as hard water flows through. Thankfully, hard water stains are not permanent. With the right tools and an appropriate cleaning routine, you can prevent hard water stains from ever building up. However, you might feel like you are stuck in a constant cleaning cycle. In that case, you may consider hiring a contractor to perform routine cleaning.
