  We strive to be the best in the business, and stand behind our work with a one-year labor warranty. I have over 33 years experience, which pays off big in the service industry, I've probably seen your problem before!! We aim for timely appointments, cleaning up after ourselves, and fair billing, I believe in treating people (and their homes) with respect. I DO recommend for people to talk to their plumber about new fixtures before they head to the "box" stores, we generally have better quality fixtures available for perhaps a bit more cost, but it comes with our in-house warranty, ask about it!! We offer a small showroom at our location, and are able to utilize 3 other wholesaler showrooms in the area, all with well-trained staff that will make sure your entire plumbing project comes together beautifully!! We can offer many references if you want them, most of our work comes thru past clients and references.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Water softeners have many benefits. The most important one is converting previously hard water—water with too many minerals—to more usable, easier water. When we say easier water, we mean water that’s easier to digest, less harsh on skin and clothes, and builds up less in the water system. Softer water may lead to lower energy costs and will extend the lifespan of all appliances that use water.

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time. 

The best way to fix hard water in a shower is by installing a water softener system. This is the only way to truly ensure that hard water doesn't enter your shower—or any part of your home beyond the water softener. Most other methods are temporary fixes. While you can choose a shower filter, these filters aren’t as effective and may not remove many contaminants that cause limescale and hard water stains.

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.

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.
