"Hard water is more than just a nuisance; it wreaks havoc on your appliances and plumbing over time. Shower doors, shower heads, sinks, anything that hard water touches becomes a nightmare to clean. My home unfortunately had very hard water. Enter the team at Orca Blue Water. From the initial meeting to the installation, the process was flawless. Highly recommend this company for anyone in need of a water softener!"

"We had a whole house water system installed in October'25. The installers were very professional and the quality was top notch. Having a well with hard water, this system was a must, and we couldn't be happier with the results."

"The sales rep took several water testsâ ¦ The sales rep took several water tests and showed me the results. She told me that I needed more than just a water softener. I also needed a system to address the rust and iron in my well water. I did not want to spend a fortune but the sales lady was pretty convincing. The price was good and the workmanship was excellent. My water is clean again ! Now I can tackle the original problem. My toilet has bad rust stains. I will either get it clean, or replace it. I could not do this until the water was fixed."

They are always available to answer questions or check the unit when I call. They also service the unit for me and I am very happy."

Small jobs welcome

"After interviewing several companies for the job, we were referred to John Schaus owner of A & E Water Conditioning. We scheduled a meeting to find out about his products and service. He answered all of our questions and we were pleased by the price of the system and installation. We went ahead and scheduled the installation. John and his plumber arrived on time and his system was installed within two hours. It is Iocated in a convenient spot in our garage and we were very pleased how everything went. The system is very low maintenance and works beautifully."

"I called in the morning and Chris came out in the afternoon, when I was available. He explained and showed me what the problem was. He didn't have a new water heater on his truck so Tim came about 45 mins. to bring one. Installation was fast and Chris was very professional. They will be the first ones I call if I have any other issues."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Softener systems extend appliance life spans, improve skin and hair health, and reduce pipe buildup by removing minerals like calcium and magnesium.

Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.

Soft water is better for your hair. The minerals in hard water can dry out hair, make it brittle, and leave a film on the hair and scalp that may cause irritation. Hard water also doesn't rinse out shampoo and conditioner effectively, which can lead to product buildup that makes hair look dull and limp. You may also find you need to use more shampoo to get a good lather in hard water.

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.

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.
