Proudly purifying water since 1954, we transform home and commercial water with our InstaSoft treatment system. Our expert technicians analyze your water quality and recommend the perfect solution, from water softeners and filters to reverse osmosis and UV disinfection systems. Enjoy cleaner, healthier water free of unwanted minerals, chemicals, and bacteria.

"Second time i had an issue with then over charging me. I had setup an appointment for salt delivery and to check the water filtration system. In between the scheduling and the appointment the water filter issue resolved itself, they insist on still charging me $150 for the service visit ex the salt delivery. Keep in mind one technician came out to put salt in the water softener and “check” water system. I never got a bill or adked to sign anything, they just charged the card on file. Random charge just shows up on my credit card. Borderline fraudulent activity here. Would be very careful using them if you are a new customer. Further there filters are custom so you need them to change the filter every 4-6 months which you can only use them and they charge near $500 for this. Be really careful with this company! Not to mention they don't tell you, your water pressure goes down by 40% when u install this stuff!"

I have one partner, you always get us. There is no mystery who will show up at your door. I will be neat, clean, respectful, and honest above all. I have over 20 years in the plumbing, heating, and water conditioning industry, both commercial and residential.

"Plumber extraordinaire! Installed whole house water purification, tankless water heater, water softener and did wizardry on my master bath to increase hot water temp. I’m wildly known by those whom I hire to be extraordinary picky. I expect the best. Most plumbing looks drab, but not Mikes work! He is a virtuoso of plumbers, and even better he makes you feel like boutique plumber at low prices! Mike is for those who may not always know what they want, but what ever it is, it’s got to be perfect. I am so happy to have found him, he does the most beautiful and genuinely amazing plumbing fixes and hacks. He fixed a not-hot-enough water issue with my tub, using a genius hack to increase my hot water without changing equipment! Mike thinks outside of the box when it comes to complicated plumbing issues in ways that will blow your mind! Everyone else you call will seem like your typical standard subpar plumber compared to his inventiveness. It is his business after all and he has a passion the way his work beautifies your home. His whole crew are brilliant and honest!"

201-286-9016! We service Northern New Jersey. We are problem solvers on all facets of plumbing and work with small renovations to new homes or light commercial new construction projects. We also do sewer and drain cleaning and replacement. We work on single family homes, condos, townhouses, apartment buildings, high rise buildings, commercial buildings, etc.

"We hired Angler to replace the valves controlling the water to outside our house and were pleased with the work, the price, and the staff. We rely on this water for the garden so it was important to get this fixed fast. Angler showed up the next day exactly when they said they would and quickly replaced the valves. They clearly explained what they did. They didn't try to sell us unnecessary work but did make suggestions for a few other things we might want to consider getting fixed in the future. The worker was very carefully in terms of COVID-19 and always had his mask on when entering our home. Definitely would recommend them."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

It’s sometimes possible to install a water softener yourself, but it’s usually better to hire a water softener professional to get the job done. Water softeners involve plumbing and electrical work, which usually require permits and a certified expert to sign off on the work. Not only is it dangerous to work with these utility lines, but it’s also not legal in many areas. Plus, improper installation or system sizing might not fix your hard water issue and could lead to an increased risk of leaks, fires, and other property damage. 

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.

DIY installation is sometimes plausible, improving efficiency and reducing expenses, but adherence to safety practices guarantees optimal performance.

Experts recommend that you put two to four bags of potassium chloride in your water softener every month. This amount depends on how much is in the bag (40 pounds is most common) and what your water softener manufacturer recommends. For more specific advice, talk to a water softener pro in your area and read the manual that came with your system.

A lower-end water softener would cost around $900, not including installation. Each home has different requirements, water hardness, and number of inhabitants, so there’s a huge range in pricing—$600 to over $6,000. The average water softener repair bill is around $500, meaning it’s a much better option to repair any issues and only replace your softener if absolutely necessary.
