"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."

"I have used All About Plumbing twice. In 2021 to repair a water line inside a wall that was damaged during a reno. The work was done on a cold Sunday night (thx Kyle). In November 2022 Andrew replaced and repositioned a faulty Pressure Regulator Valve. This involved digging in cold red clay and cutting tree roots to access the water main (thx Andrew). He also discovered the source of a leak and replaced the expansion tank on the water heater. Both men were knowledgeable, professional, respectful of the property and courteous. If I need a plumber a third time it will be someone from All About Plumbing."

"The technicians are amazing at Ethical Plumbing. My mother passed away and the next week I found a water leak in her basement. I called Ethical Plumbing and they got me on the schedule the very next day and made everything so easy. We have since found a different problem that they also helped us with. Always shows up on time and diagnoses the problem and offers different solutions. Thank you!"

"Rich did an outstanding job. He came to my rescue when I needed 2 outdated outside faucets changed because they always leaked. He recommended 3 different types an explained each one to me in detail, this helped me make the choice that met my needs. He also noticed improper and leaking plumbing under one of my sinks and made the necessary repairs. He also discovered the humidity line from the central A/C was leaking and explained what this did for me and again this allowed me to make the decision to have him fix it and temporarily cap it off with the ability to use it in the future if I needed to. Rich is prior Navy and I am retired Coast Guard. Our experiences in the service have instilled a sense of "attention to detail", Richard is spot on with this as shown in his craftmanship. With over 25 years of experience he is definitely my "go to guy" when it comes to any type of plumbing...excellent job!!!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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. 

While it depends on how complicated the unit and installation is, it takes two to four hours to install a water softener unit, on average. It might take longer if pipes need to be replaced. You should make sure the installation area is clear of any objects that might get in the way before you begin.

Yes, you can have both a water softener and a water filter. In fact, some manufacturers sell dual water softening and filtration systems that treat hard water and provide clean drinking water. If you’re unsure about what you need or want to discuss your options, reach out to a local water softener installation company.

A water softener is a worthwhile investment if you live in an area with hard water. While hard water is safe to drink, it contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that can cause significant problems over time. These minerals build up inside pipes, reducing water flow and eventually corroding the plumbing system, which can lead to leaks and a shortened lifespan. Hard water also damages fixtures and appliances, potentially resulting in costly repairs. Additionally, it makes soaps and detergents less effective, meaning you'll use more product to get things clean. By installing a water softener, you can prevent these issues. The initial investment is often recouped through long-term savings, including lower energy bills, reduced appliance and plumbing maintenance, and spending less on soap and cleaning supplies. Other benefits include cleaner linens, dishes, and clothing, as well as softer water that is gentler on your skin and hair. In some areas, a water softener can also increase your home's value, making it a valuable long-term investment.

Generally, it is safe to bathe in yellow water, as the color is often caused by iron, tannins, or rust, which won't harm your skin. Soap will still clean you effectively, though the water might leave stains. However, if the water has an unusual smell or you suspect contamination, avoid bathing and contact a plumber for an inspection. A professional can also help if you find bathing in yellow water problematic and want to determine how to get your water clear again.
