"John was very professional and explained everything he had done. He replied later that Friday night when a problem arose with the hot water. He came out the next morning and corrected the problem even though he had other appointments. He was easy to talk to and answered questions about other plumbing concerns. I would highly recommend him to others and will call on him again if needed."

"Very professional and nice. Went out of their way to ensure we were properly wired and fixed the electrical connection for no additional charge. Was expensive, but worth it to have water on a Saturday. Other companies said they could not come until Monday or Tuesday."

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

Hard water doesn’t hurt, but it might feel more abrasive, especially if you have sensitive skin. It’s also about how your skin feels after bathing. You might feel as though you have a sticky film over your body because you do—it’s all that soapy residue left behind because the hard water can’t rinse it off completely.

Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won’t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn’t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average water softener installation cost is between $200 and $6,000.

A water softener removes minerals from your drinking water and can make your house water softer. These softeners are designed to extend the lifetime of your plumbing system while also making water safer and more palatable for drinking. Hard water, which is water with a heavy amount of suspended particles, can also cause hair damage, skin irritation, and buildup in your pipes.

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. 

Choosing involves understanding water hardness levels, household size, desired features, and consulting professionals experienced in suitable system types.
