"We used Finken when we built our new home. They were so helpful from beginning to end and now with service these last 5.5 years. We love the automatic deliveries of salt and reverse osmosis filters. We were previous water dispenser customers also and the automatic water jug deliveries were also great! We recently had them out as our Reverse Osmosis system was making a buzzing sound and they were quick to diagnose and provide a fix. Everyone is knowledgable and friendly and we will use Finken for life!"

"I was going to have some work done to my basement and needed the water heater moved. It was time replace the heater so I asked Northern if they could remove the heater and install the new one the next day. They were fine with that. The workers were very professional and friendly. The installer took the time to explain all the controls and maintenance. Very pleased with results"

"Did a great job. Very pleasant. Came out the day I contacted them. Had new water heater installed and old one out around 2 hours. Little on the higher end cost wise maybe... But you get what you pay for and the technicians don't set the price."

"Hero plumbing very prompt when I originally contacted them. Sent someone out within 2 hours on a Friday evening. The first plumber to come out tried to diagnose the problem, and we thought he had. He ran the snake through the main sewer line to the street, he told me he could feel that there were many large roots in the line and that this should take care of my water backup in the basement. The plumber was curious, very chatty, and he got the job done. 5 days later a camera guy came out to make sure the mainline was clear. He ran the camera down and notified me that there were and are no roots in the line. I was told I had some rusting and pitting in the cast iron line. He recommended the line be power washed to clear out the pitting. Quoted me $3200, and told me about the 0% interest offer they had going on. Asked if I wanted to see if I would qualify for the program. After we entered some information into the computer, I was told I would qualify. About a week later a credit card arrives in my mailbox. Never did I know I was applying for a credit card with them. Seemed a deceitful way to get Approximately 2 weeks after the camera, on a Friday, I have water backed up into my basement again. I called to see if someone could come out since I was having guests. I was told no one could come out until Saturday. I find this unacceptable, since they had sent 2 plumbers out, and was told the problem was taken care of. I ended up calling another plumbing company that was able to help out the same day and hopefully did the work correctly."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

You should not use a water conditioner with a water softener because a water conditioner changes the chemistry of the water and causes the ion exchange in a softener to be ineffective. Choose a water softener if you have hard water or well water, and use a water conditioner if you need to remove certain contaminants.

Generally, it is safe to bathe in yellow water, as the color is often caused by iron, tannins, or rust, which won't harm your skin. Soap will still clean you effectively, though the water might leave stains. However, if the water has an unusual smell or you suspect contamination, avoid bathing and contact a plumber for an inspection. A professional can also help if you find bathing in yellow water problematic and want to determine how to get your water clear again.
