"I called because my kitchen sink was stopped up. The woman i spoke with said there was a specual on secondary drain clearimg. Cost was 189.00 plus tax, and was guaranteed. From the time the tech arrived he started talking about a chemical i would need before he even opened the doors to the sink. Also he began telling me that my dawn dishsoap was the worst thing i could be putting down my drain because once it breaks down it turns to animal fat mind you he is continually reassuring me i needed the chemicql only for an additional 242.00 ,still hasn't looked under the sink. Long story shortened my kitchen sink is still inoperable Auchinachie took my 204.12 and gave ne 20ft of snake which did absolutely nothing. I am going to B.B.B. and my Attorney general. Just look at all of the negative reviews on this company. They are bad business. I am a disabled widow. Shame "

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.

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. 

Water softener versus water filter: which one should you choose? If you want to remove minerals, opt for a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, go for a filter. Or, you can install both.

A tankless water heater should be at least 10 feet away from a water softener, although the pros you hire for water softener installation can help you determine the correct distance. These two units need to have some distance between them to prevent hot water from the tankless water heater from flowing backward into the water softener when it runs a regeneration cycle.
