"Ralph and Peter did an amazing job fixing the issue with our kitchen sink not having cold water. They were both very patient and shared knowledge with me so I could learn more about the issue at hand and about the water control in my home. I will be using them again for my future plumbing needs and I highly recommend their services!"

"Raymond was absolutely wonderful! He came to look at our water heater about a half hour after we spoke on the phone (on his way to another job in the same town as us). He took his time looking over everything to see what could be causing the problems, explained what the possible repair options were if we didn't want to go with the option of replacing it. We decided to just replace it, which Raymond said he was able to do that same day after he finished with the other job in town which he said would take about two and a half to three hours. He arrived back at the house when he said he would, got the job done quickly and efficiently. Replaced all of the outdated pipes that weren't up to code as well. Very reasonable price for the work. I will definitely be calling Red Van Plumbing & Heating for any future work that needs to be done!"

"Offered options: purchase another like it or purchase one from Advanced. I told them to go ahead and put one in. They put the old one back together that day, came back in 2 days, removed old one, installed new one. Haven't priced water softeners in years so no idea if price was good but seemed reasonable. Quick, neat clean-up, great machine. Couldn't be happier."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Hard water stains can be a headache because they will reoccur as long as hard water flows through. Thankfully, hard water stains are not permanent. With the right tools and an appropriate cleaning routine, you can prevent hard water stains from ever building up. However, you might feel like you are stuck in a constant cleaning cycle. In that case, you may consider hiring a contractor to perform routine cleaning.

The average cost to install a water softener, including the system and labor, is approximately $1,500. However, the total price can range widely from $600 to $6,000. For some complete systems, the cost may be between $800 and $2,500. Labor for the installation typically costs between $150 and $1,000.

The final price is influenced by several factors, including:

  • System type, capacity, and complexity

  • Home size and household water demands

  • Water hardness levels

  • Accessibility of the installation site and the extent of plumbing work required

  • Whether new electrical work is needed

  • The professional hired and any local permit costs

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.

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.

The main difference between a water softener and a water filter is what they remove from the water. A water softener is specifically designed to remove hard minerals, while a filter removes a wider range of contaminants above a certain size, such as bacteria and other impurities. If your primary goal is to remove minerals, a softener is the best choice. If you want to remove various contaminants for safety or taste, a filter is more suitable. Filters are also typically less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply's specific issues, you may need to install both systems for comprehensive treatment.
