"They were very cordial, polite, kept me informed about the work they needed to do to remove the old water softener and put in the new system. The removal and re-installation went smoothly and they left the work area spotless. A great job."

"If you have a water softener or filtration project, I highly recommend Orbit Energy & Power. I had a very favorable experience with the company . Scott Cullin, the sales tech was very accommodating with scheduling our initial appointment. He was on time, asked about our project scope, performed his water tests and made a recommendation based on the findings. He was not high pressure at all. I advised that I was getting competitive proposals and it would be a few days before I made a decision. Orbit's equipment is the most efficient, seems to be the best quality, and quite frankly had the best warranties. The installation went well. The installer removed old equipment and installed the new softener and filtration kit. He was in and out within the 3 hour time window specified. He answered all the questions I had for him during the installation. Once everything was done and cleaned up, he went through the operation with me, explaining how everything worked and what things to keep an eye on. Very good experience. I will definitely use them again"

"We are very happy with our new water softener unit. From the first encounter over the phone to the end of the installation it was a pleasant experience. Roger, the owner, responded immediately to my initial inquiry and was very helpful in providing information and pointing to several sources online where I could get additional information on the different types of water softeners. The entire process was very easy and went smoothly. Everyone we dealt with was friendly. Roger and team were punctual and took the time to explain the system and how to maintain it afterwards. I would not hesitate to recommend Purely Water for your water softner needs."

"After previously using Rob a year ago had him come to set up a new slop sink in the laundry room.  I had the existing pipes cut to add a hot and cold water line and a drain into the pipes being used for the washing machine.  The job was completed to my expectations.   Very happy with the service and will continue to use and recommend to others."

"My experience with Comfort Basement was excellent from start to finish.  I purchased a special offer through Angie's List so the price was excellent and a very good quality pump was installed.  Jesse was courteous, professional, prompt and explained the pump.  He offered some other possible ideas for our water issues, but did not push us to do more than the original offer.  I would definitely recommend Comfort Basement. We are relieved to have a system which will turn on automatically if our electricity goes off again.

"I initially met with Doug on Wed July 17 to get an estimate and to test the water pressure to make sure that the system would work.  Doug was very professional, courteous and explained everything to me.   When he left he told us that his plumbing sub-contractor would install the pump the following thursday and the plumber  would call us directly to schedule a time.  The plumber never called, but showed up on Thursday unannounced at 8am.  He told us he was very busy and was just dropping off the pump and would come back on saturday to install it.  He was supposed call to schedule a time but once again he never called, and this time he didn't show up either.  I called Doug to see what had happened.  Doug immediately got the subcontractor on the line and we rescheduled for the following tuesday.  Doug told me to call his office to confirm the appointment and I did but requested to get a call back or email back to confirm a time so that somebody would be home to let the plumber in.  I believe it was an answering service that I left the message with, but I got no response.
On tuesday the plumber showed up at 8am again, unannounced again to install the pump.  He was there for a few hours and ended up doing a solid job from what I can tell.  He installed some additional piping and a check valve in the basement with the pump. Without filling up the pit, there isn't any way to test to see if the pump is working properly but I can hear water running through it when I lift the float so it seems to be in working order.  I did notice a few days later that my sprinkler system wasn't working and realized that the plumber didn't turn a water valve back to its prior position to allow the water to flow to the sprinkler system.  Probably just an oversight, but something important enought that the plumber should have realized.
Overall, the scheduling didn't go very smoothly, but the quality of the work was solid, price was reasonable, and Doug seems like an honest guy who tries to provide the best service to his customers possible.  I would consider using A-1 in the future.

"We have done a lot of work on our house due to water damage. By far Healthy Way was the easiest to work with. They did everything on time. They were so nice. Cleaned up everything after each part of the job...they had to pull out our basement flooring/cement to get to the root of the problem. They sealed up all spaces and nothing was damaged by dust and they cleaned up the entire space when they were finished. Everyone was professional and made the process so easy and less stressful."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Whether you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.

To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process 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 Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.

If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. 

That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.

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.

While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.
