"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."

"All About Plumbing replaced an old leaking Rinnai hot water heater with a new rur199i Rinnai tankless hot water heater. This model had a built-in recycle pump; however, All About Plumbing then installed a Rinnai controller, which we programmed to enable the pump to work on a programmed daily schedule. I am very pleased with their work and knowledge to make sure it was complete and working properly."

"I have used Four Seasons multiple times since moving into my new home this summer. I remodeled two bathrooms and Four Seasons disconnected plumbing lines, then reconnected them after vanities were installed, and put in new faucets. They have offered me several discounts and even some free work which is very much appreciated! Their prices without discounts is also very reasonable. Their quote on a tankless water heater (which is my next project) was also the best I received out of three different companies. The front desk staff are always very pleasant when I've called to set up an appointment and have availability within a few business days. Joel has been the plumber sent to my house for all our service calls. He is very helpful, professional, and does fantastic work. This company is clearly well organized with great staff and they care about their customers!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

You should not use a water conditioner with a water softener because a water conditioner changes the chemistry of the water and causes the ion exchange in a softener to be ineffective. Choose a water softener if you have hard water or well water, and use a water conditioner if you need to remove certain contaminants.

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.

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. 

Yes. Hard water is what causes scale buildup, and a whole-house filter provides numerous benefits beyond water softening. Any water that enters your home will go through the filter, which cleans up all water that you will use for cooking, bathing, and drinking. A whole-house water filter also blocks harmful particles like heavy metals.

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.
