"I normally do not write bad reviews, I talk directly to the business. Unfortunately, that hasn't produced good results. Almost 4 years ago, Hague Water Systems contacted me regarding a water softener. I needed to replace my water tank so I purchased both from them. I have been happy with the system and the installer/service technicians until last year. Installer and service technicians anre great! About a year ago I noticed that the hot water tank was leaking and called Hague. I was told that they don't warranty hot water tanks and that I needed to contact the manufacturer. I contacted the manufacturer and they said it does have a warranty and to contact the installer to replace it. I've gotten all kinds of excuses from Hague "we don't warranty that, we are short installers, that is another dept, etc." Hague hasn't even come to check it out. I'm attaching pictures of the mess I'm dealing with. They say they warranty their products. I still have a defective hot water tan"

"Monday is a laundry service day for me. I do the laundry every Monday for our missionaries and the pick up in the evening. Half way through the first load my drain back flushed and water was coming out everywhere. I called the service we usually use and they were down two technicians and suggested I call Anthony. They were there within 2 hrs and saved my the day. The service tech was polite and efficient. Thank you Anthony Plumbing."

"Our water drain valve broke out of the tank on Tuesday afternoon. We needed a replacement asap and called KC Metro on Wednesday morning around 8:00 am. Kyle came out with a new water heater by 9:30 am and was done around noon. Very professional and conscientious!! If you need a good plumber, call KC Metro. I'll be working with them again for any future needs"

"The straight forward truth is they showed up to clean my drain, not to give us a sell job about digging up the yard or replacing the water heater. We had some tree roots that needed removed, not an impacted pipe. I understand digging is the only correction when large roots fill the line or for broken sections. A "Big Name" company was here prior and the serviceman did his best to try to scare my wife into replacing the main line. The Tech used a small router and somewhat cleared a blockage (TP caught in tree roots). That company was supposed to camera our line, but that was a second crew who kept delaying the schedule past the next day. I think they figured out that we were not going to bite on their big ticket sell job. They did refund our money. The line stopped up again in about three weeks, the second "Big Name" company did camera the roots in the line and told me the drain was cracked. They routed the line, did not remove any roots, and charged me. They were nice enough to leave an estimate for $4,500.00 to dig up and spot repair the section. It was easy for me to see the roots as cleanable. I put ROOT X in the line to kill the roots and buy some time. I had seen the Benjamin Franklin name with good reviews on-line and decided to contact them. The dispatch lady, Tory was helpful, but I wanted to speak with a management person because I did not want a sales pitch. The manager, Madonna, completely understood my plight, she had heard my story many times before. Nick and apprentice Joseph showed up the next morning, on time with an "on the way call". Nick is an absolute pro with a friendly personality and a sincere attitude. In the movie "City Slickers", Jack Palance played Curly, remember "one thing"? The Benjamin Franklin Team hit my door with one thing, clean the drain! Do the job that our customer needs and take it from there. Nick changed cleaning heads two or three times to knock out the roots and showed his skill by the way he worked the machine. Joseph studied all of Nick's actions. Nick's camera told the truth, roots gone and no line damage. The darn little root snuck in a joint and grew inside the line to a blob! I was lucky and Nick was straight up front that a cleaning might be enough, but if it was a dig job he would ensure it would be done right. I guess like Benjamin Franklin, I just want a fair price for good work. I will be sharing my story with my neighbors."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.

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.

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.

Experts recommend that you put two to four bags of potassium chloride in your water softener every month. This amount depends on how much is in the bag (40 pounds is most common) and what your water softener manufacturer recommends. For more specific advice, talk to a water softener pro in your area and read the manual that came with your system.
