"I am truly glad I found Ralph Maresca on Angie's List. First, let me start by saying today is Friday, April 19th and the start of a holiday weekend. My daughter called in late afternoon and explained that my basement was flooding and it was an emergency. The call was immediately answered and Ralph said he would be at my home in a very short time...he arrived promptly as promised. He was very professional and reassuring and assessed the problem quickly ,,,,a broken pipe...problem being it was within the block in the wall. He explained the problem and that he would be able to repair it, stop the leak and able to turn the water back on to my home. Ralph proceeded to fix the problem, stop the leak and restore the water to my home. I definitely would hire again and would recommend to others."

"I reached out late at night. Gotta call at 7am. They showed up at 9 and figured out quickly why I didn't have water coming from the well. My pump was burned out. These guys busted their butts in extreme heat and humidity and got my well up and running by 4pm. 311 feet of new hose electric and the pump for a reasonable price. Super nice guys! I would recommend this company to everyone"

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

Most of the U.S. has hard water, especially across portions of the West and Midwest. The areas with the hardest water include parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Illinois, North and South Dakota, Ohio, and New York. You’ll find soft water in parts of New England, the Southeast, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii.

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.

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.

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.

A single shower consumes an average of over 17 gallons, while brushing your teeth with the water running uses up to four unnecessary gallons. Watering the lawn spreads hundreds of gallons of water across the yard each time. Limiting water usage in these areas can significantly cut down your water bill.
