"This is gonna be a long one. I contacted Ken as I heard many glowing reviews from people in my area. He answered the phone after hours (7:30 p.m) and was able to ease my mind about an issue I was having with a leak in my wall due to a wire running to my well pump. I talked to people at Lowe's, home depot and a few other places and they all told me to use materials that did not work at all. When I called Ken he told me to use Duct Seal which was $4 bucks (way cheaper than any of the other solutions that I was told to try). I should have called Ken first! I did what Ken told me to and it stopped the leak for the most part, but due to heavy rain the water kind of kept coming in. I called Ken the next morning and told him that I was slightly electrocuted when putting the Duct Seal in. He said he would come on Monday which he did. He inspected my work and informed me of some details that I won't disclose here, but needless to say, he made me feel like responsible homeowner. I had a ton of questions for him which he took the time to answer. He showed me what all the pipes to the water softener go to, all my sump pump questions, well questions, septic tank questions. He answered everything! I was extremely impressed. He gave me his personal cell number and told me to call him if I had any questions at all. On a very personal note, it's extremely difficult to meet someone with Ken's experience, kindness and honesty. He went above and beyond anybody I have ever called to the house. You could tell that he loved what he does. I am 100 percent satisfied and cannot recommend Ken enough. As odd as this is to say, I look forward to Ken fixing my future problems. Now I know that if there are any issues who to call. 5 stars. I'd give 10 if I could. Extremely impressed."

"The yearly service works out to be $50 a month. We've had two water heaters replaced through them because of a fault in them. They're usually very responsive. I like that I can request the service online. The only thing is, I wish that there was a better avenue for emergency services. If something doesn't work right away usually it takes a couple of days to get someone out and sometimes you can't wait two days without water."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, a water softener can remove scale deposits. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, after you add a water softener to your home, “gradually the softer water will dissolve limescale scale deposits and remove the problem entirely.” Installing a water softener—or water descaler—will also help prevent new scale deposits from forming.

Hard water is not considered unhealthy and is safe to drink, cook with, and bathe in. It doesn't pose a risk to your physical health and can even help you get enough essential minerals like calcium in your diet. However, it can negatively affect skin and hair. Using hard water for washing can contribute to dry skin, an itchy scalp, and may worsen conditions like eczema by altering the pH balance. Additionally, some people do not like the taste of hard water.

No, hard water isn’t dangerous. The added calcium in hard water can contribute to good bone health. However, it can also cause dry skin and hair. If you have dry skin or hair, consider using a water-softening system to help minimize the minerals in your water. Plus, these systems can also add some sodium to your diet. 

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.
