"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."

"The plumbers showed up as scheduled. I even received a call from their office prior to the scheduled time to let me know that they were on the way, and to advise me of the lead plumber's name. When they arrived, the plumbers assessed the situation, advised me of pricing, and explained everything they were going to need, i.e. turning off water to the house, prior to starting work. They went above and beyond to help me find a coupon that was mentioned to me during my initial call to schedule service as well. While working, they found an issue with a valve on my water heater. The situation was explained to me and I was advised of pricing. I agreed to the valve replacement. Once I signed off on the work order, they began service immediately. I appreciated that they used booties on their shoes to avoid tracking dirt/clay into my home. They worked quickly and efficiently, while still taking the time to engage with my children. Once done, I was shown the repairs that were completed and was able to look over their work to insure it was up to my standards. I will absolutely call Four Seasons Plumbing again, without hesitation."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

A good hardness level for drinking water can vary based on personal preferences, but an ideal level is 3.5 to 7 GPG. This means your water isn’t soft or hard. However, some people prefer the “fresh” taste from the minerals in hard water, while others like the smoother, “slippery” texture of soft water.

Because it’s been through the water cycle, evaporating and becoming slightly acidic thanks to dissolved carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, rainwater tends to be naturally soft compared to groundwater, which has just been in contact with limestone. However, the natural hardness level of water always depends on where you are and other factors.

If your ‘do isn’t doing what you want it to do despite using good hair care products, hard water might be to blame. Since hard water can’t rinse soap off as well as soft water can, your hair might grow limp because of the shampoo and conditioner residue that’s left behind. If you color your hair, you might see it fade more quickly or even turn a different shade as the dye reacts with the minerals in the water. You might also experience an itchy scalp, thanks to the dryness that comes from bathing in the hard water.

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.

Most of the U.S. has hard water, especially across portions of the West and Midwest. The areas with the hardest water include parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Illinois, North and South Dakota, Ohio, and New York. You’ll find soft water in parts of New England, the Southeast, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii.
