"Here we go again ???, Hasn’t even been a year and my 2 yr old A/C unit is broken…..for the FOURTH time. Took 2 weeks to get someone out to even diagnose the problem. Have to wait again to make an appointment until after they get the part in which should hopefully be Friday…..3 weeks with no A/C….again, with a young child and disabled veteran with asthma in the house ? Turns out it’s a manufacturing defect, 4th time was the charm I guess….didn’t stop them from charging me the $70 dispatch fee though ? a brand new system I paid over $6,000 for, the 4th time in a little over 2 years it has needed fixing because of a manufacturing defect…..and they still charged me the fee ?. Same sentiment I had when I posted my last review here on 08/01/2022……Save yourself the stress and money….go with someone else, someone who won’t let you sit around for weeks at a time in a 90 degree house with a practically brand new system that is again nothing more than a paperweight ? Technician was awesome."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won’t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn’t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average water softener installation cost is between $200 and $6,000.

Hard water doesn’t pose a risk to your physical health when you drink it. In fact, drinking hard water can help ensure you get enough of essential minerals like calcium in your daily diet. However, extremely hard water can contribute to dry skin and make your scalp itchy if you wash your hair in it too often.

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.

Hard water stains can be a headache because they will reoccur as long as hard water flows through. Thankfully, hard water stains are not permanent. With the right tools and an appropriate cleaning routine, you can prevent hard water stains from ever building up. However, you might feel like you are stuck in a constant cleaning cycle. In that case, you may consider hiring a contractor to perform routine cleaning.

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.
