"I called Terry-owner of Lakes Regional Pump & Irrigation after 7pm , when the water softener that was installed earlier that day somehow killed the well water pump. Terry returned my call and came out first thing in the morning during our blizzard of the month. Terry knew exactly what to do and fixed everything within an hour or 2. The water softener company did not kill the pump it just happened happenstance. The bill was reasonable but what stands out the most is customer service. You cannot go wrong hiring this company!!!"

"Mike was great. He took his time to explain what he was doing. I had a sediment filter installed and he replaced the pressure tank. He showed me how to check/replace filter as needed. He came by and diagnosed my problem without charging a service fee. He was very thorough and was not in a rush. His price was fair. He gave his professional opinion and did not try to "sell" me products that were not needed when I inquired about a water softener for my house. Great guys both him and his partner. I highly recommend giving them a call for your next plumbing job!"

"I finally got to build my dream garage to store all my tools and have a cool hangout on Friday nights with the boys n a couple coors. Chris came and did everything from the bathroom and the heating system. I will definitely be calling him back to add a mini split in the future. He was professional, punctual and clean. Very knowledgeable you can tell he cares about his clients."

"I had my full home repiped as I switched from electric to forced hot water heating. Fred was courteous, communicative, and timely in making the repairs. We ran into quite a few snafus and he took them in stride. His quote was MUCH lower (about half the price) of the original quote we got. Definitely recommend."

"Secondwind Water Systems was excellent from start to finish. The process began about three months ago with Jesse, a Certified Water Specialist, who thoroughly tested our water and designed a comprehensive system. He was patient, informative, and never pushy while I took time to decide. Installation was completed this past Monday and included sediment filtration, a water softener, radon and PFAS removal, and reverse osmosis to our drinking water and refrigerator ice maker. Patrick, the senior technician, and his assistant Ronald were professional, knowledgeable, and did a very clean, well-organized basement install. Patrick took the time to explain how the system works and what maintenance is required. Christine in the office was friendly and extremely helpful with payment and organizing all documentation needed for state reimbursement related to the PFAS system. Highly recommend Secondwind Water Systems for quality work and excellent customer service."

"Cindy was very nice, came to my phone, checked out my system. Later that day I received a reasonable quote for the softener, and the sediment filter. I was able to schedule an appointment for about a week later. Justin was my installer, he was very nice, professional, quick worker, and a veteran too! Justin went over the system with me and made sure I knew how to work the system."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The most effective way to fix hard water in your shower is by installing a whole-home water softening system. This system treats water as it enters your home, removing the minerals that cause hardness before they can reach your shower or any other fixtures. While this is the most comprehensive solution, other methods are often temporary fixes. For a more affordable and shower-specific option, you can install a water-softening showerhead or a shower filter. However, these filters are generally less effective and may not remove all the contaminants that lead to limescale and hard water stains. By implementing a water softening solution, you can expect a reduction in mineral deposits and enjoy the benefits of cleaner-feeling hair and skin.

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.

It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.

Whether you need a license or permit for water softener installation depends on your location. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, while others may only require a permit and an inspection. In some cases, both a permit and a licensed installer are necessary, and some areas have no requirements at all. Often, only certified plumbers and electricians are allowed to pull the necessary permits. To find out the specific regulations in your area, you can contact your local building department. Alternatively, a local water softener installer or plumber will be familiar with the requirements and can typically pull the permits for you. Regardless of local laws, it is always recommended to hire a licensed professional to ensure the system is sized and installed correctly. You can use tools like Angi’s state licensing tool to verify an installer's license status.

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.
