"We purchased a Hague Maxpack water softener and reverse osmosis system from North Carolina Water Consultants and couldn’t be more pleased with our choice. The technicians arrived on time, were professional and accommodative of our install location preferences and answered all of our question thoroughly. We highly recommend this company if you are looking for quality whole house water filtration/softener company. You will not be disappointed."

"After speaking with Ryan, I was given an honest estimate without possible issues and cost. We had alternating water pressure and sometime no water at all. They were here within the hour. They quickly resolved the issue and assured us that we had plenty of water in our well and the new pump that they installed had a five year warranty. Best type of home service that we have experienced. Ryan was professional and honest!"

"We highly recommend James Cress Jr. Water Pump and Well Co. Very prompt response time, came to the house to evaluate our needs (well repair) and explained everything in detail that would be done & cost. The job was done almost immediately (longest wait was getting permits from county) Mr. Cress and his crew were very professional, cleaned the work area nicely and best of all, he's very affordable and does a wonderful job."

"James Cress Jr Water Pump Company came out to check my well and give me an estimate on work to be performed. He was punctual with his appointment with me. He replaced my pump in the well and I am one satisfied customer. I will call him again. I will be referring him to family and friends. I was satisfied with the hob and the cost was reasonable."

"I called Pro plumbing to set up an appointment for them to come out and check plumbing for a leak. My appointment was for 12 pm. They ended up coming after 5 pm. The technicians were polite, they put shoe covers on before they entered the home. They spent a few minutes turning off the water supply, looking at the meter box, and told us it was a water main leak. They went to the truck and came back with a $3400. estimate to completely reroute the plumbing through the front wall, up in the ceiling and back to the center of the house. This price did not include having someone to come and repair the holes in the wall or ceiling after their part was complete. The next day I called the townhouse association to see if this was covered and they sent their plumber who was no help and just stated there is a main leak under the slab. (which means it is the homeowners responsibility to pay for repair) I called a leak locator who came out and found the leak right in the front yard, dug a hole and repaired it in less than 2 hours. This could have been a financially devastating needless repair."

"Best water conditioning company in the Charlotte area! After dealing with high pressure commissioned sales reps from other water companies, I called Kim. I told her my story and she was so sweet. Scott the owner came to our house within a day, tested our water and made an honest recommendation without putting any pressure on us. Within a week, Mark came out and got everything installed and even moved the water shut off valve so it was more convenient for us. I immediately noticed a difference in our water and I am so happy with the results! They are great people and I highly recommend them!"

"I hired Queen City Plumbing to replace my A.O. Smith water heater with a Bradford White 50 gallon superheater. Ed showed up on time, was very professional, and completed the job in a timely manner. After the new heater was installed, Ed took the time to show me how the controls worked and how to adjust the mixing valve to adjust water temperature. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely call them again. I would also recommend them to anyone looking for a plumber."

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.

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.

A tankless water heater should be at least 10 feet away from a water softener, although the pros you hire for water softener installation can help you determine the correct distance. These two units need to have some distance between them to prevent hot water from the tankless water heater from flowing backward into the water softener when it runs a regeneration cycle.

You can install a water softener system by turning off the water supply, draining the water, and then connecting your device to the waterline. Next, you’ll fill your tank with the recommended amount of salt or brine (whichever your unit calls for; be sure to read the instructions). Turn the water supply on and check for leaks. You can opt to let your water run for a few minutes, then test it using strips. 

The process of inspecting your water softener system is similar.

Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.
