"Both the salesman and the tech were fantastic. From explaining the benefits and the cost, to installing and actually making the plumbing system better, they did a fantastic job. The technician had some health issues he needed to see a doctor about, but he and the salesman returned later the same day and finished up the job perfectly. I can’t recommend them more. Oh, and our water is so much better now!"

"Other companies were out here and tried to sell me a new system instead of trying to repair the existing set up. John from Schultz Soft Water fixed what we had first and if not working replace later. Everything is still fine. What a breath of fresh air to have honest fair people still left in the business."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The most effective way to fix hard water in your shower is by installing a whole-home water softening system. This system treats water as it enters your home, removing the minerals that cause hardness before they can reach your shower or any other fixtures. While this is the most comprehensive solution, other methods are often temporary fixes. For a more affordable and shower-specific option, you can install a water-softening showerhead or a shower filter. However, these filters are generally less effective and may not remove all the contaminants that lead to limescale and hard water stains. By implementing a water softening solution, you can expect a reduction in mineral deposits and enjoy the benefits of cleaner-feeling hair and skin.

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.

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.

Yes, a water softener can remove scale deposits. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, after you add a water softener to your home, “gradually the softer water will dissolve limescale scale deposits and remove the problem entirely.” Installing a water softener—or water descaler—will also help prevent new scale deposits from forming.

While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.
