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!"

"It took a really, really long time. They usually like bring one and have them on the truck because I've something on TV about scam artists that claims that your leak is worst than it really is. It needs to be tightened and really they're trying to sell you the hot water heater on the truck. But I've already tested all stuff that would be the easy fix so I can fix it myself. It took like 2 to 3 hours for them to go get a hot water heater. The communication is good. I guess their work ethic is good. There were some updates that they had to do like it's the way it's hooked up, like they see mechanisms or something that they explained to me."
"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!"
"Cory installed a tankless water heater for me. He was very knowledgeable of the Rinnai product line and proposed several options. He arranged the electricians and scheduled the inspections promptly. All work was completed quickly and professionally. He answered all my questions and took time to explain things to me I have since hired him to do more plumbing work for me. I would highly recommend him."
Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.
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.
No, a water descaler won't descale pipes. The charged water running through the pipes may very slowly dissolve mineral deposits and hold them inside the water, but it's a very gradual process. If your pipes do need descaling, it's much better to get a local plumber to descale your pipes.
The primary difference between a water softener and a water filter lies in what they remove from the water. A water softener is designed to remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. In contrast, a water filter has a broader effect, removing various contaminants above a certain size, which can include bacteria and other impurities.
To decide which you need, consider your goal. If you want to eliminate hard minerals, choose a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, a filter is the better option. Filters are also generally less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply, you may need to install both for comprehensive treatment.
