"Jack Rasmussen came to the house and listened to our immediate needs for plumbing. He had some excellent suggestions. Example: even though our home is in good shape, we did not realize this particular home did Not have "shut off" valves behind the toilet and under the sink. Once our plumbing was scheduled, Master Plumber - Jason - did an "Outstanding" job. He was very personable, but also knows his trade extremely well. We had a last minute request to get a very old main "shutoff valve" replaced. Jack Rasmussen OK'd our request, and Jason had absolutely no problem accomplishing the additional request with kindness and precision. We would Highly Recommend Master Plumbing (out of Albert Lea, MN) for your needs. We have two more phases of plumbing required and look forward to using them again. *A big THANKS to both Jack Rasmussen & Jack's Master Plumber - Jason. Sincerely, Leonard & Mary - Very Satisfied Customer"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Water purifiers and water softeners serve different purposes, so the best one will depend on your particular needs. Water purifiers remove contaminants from water (such as bacteria, viruses, and chemicals), leaving you with ultra-clean and safe water. However, water softeners remove minerals from your water so that the water doesn’t leave stains around your house or cause plumbing problems.

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.

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.

If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. 

That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

A lower-end water softener would cost around $900, not including installation. Each home has different requirements, water hardness, and number of inhabitants, so there’s a huge range in pricing—$600 to over $6,000. The average water softener repair bill is around $500, meaning it’s a much better option to repair any issues and only replace your softener if absolutely necessary.
