"The installation of the hot water tank was great. I was not happy that they did not drain any water from the old tank, I believe that once they determined that they could not empty the water anywhere in the basement except outside they just left it. I am in my seventies and I had to do it the next day so I could move the tank."

"I did not use Astar for services, but I was so pleased with their support and professionalism over the phone, I would not hesitate to use them in the future.  I felt compelled to write that here today.  On a holiday weekend, after trying two other companies, they were a live voice that helped to calm and point me in the right direction to diagnosing my problem, which at the end of the day was an empty propane tank.  Kathy was so supportive on the phone, and let me know that they are there to help should I need.  It's the kind of support and service we all long for.  Thank you Kathy for being there for me today.

"Everyone else I had on-site to assess my situation merely wanted to sell me a new water filtration system…. Aquasource took the time to truly understand what was happening & come up with the best plan to mitigate the issues. Very happy with the work thus far. For my situation, the real test on whether the work completed will totally ‘fix’ my issue (s) has yet to occur. However, Aquasource stands behind their work & I know that if I still need adjustments, he’ll support those needs. I would definitely recommend this company!"

"After struggling with a Buderus combo unit for the better part of ten years (unit is 12 years old), it finally gave out right before Easter weekend leaving us with no heat and hot water. Luckily we invested in a pellet stove due to ongoing issues with the Buderus so we had an alternative heat source. Anthony responded promptly to my husband's call and came over to install a hot water heater for us until he could replace our combo unit so we wouldn't be without hot water. It didn't take him long to discover our hard water most likely created the issues with our boiler and our current softener system was inadequate. He installed a new water filtration system along with our new Naveien combo unit to ensure we would not have the same issues. Not only did he do a phenomenal job installing the unit, he took care of other plumbing concerns he noticed. Now, we have a more reliable combo unit with the bonus of water we can actually drink out of the faucet!!! We highly recommend AJL Plumbing & Heating."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The primary difference between a water softener and a water filter lies in what they remove from the water. A water softener is designed to remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. In contrast, a water filter has a broader effect, removing various contaminants above a certain size, which can include bacteria and other impurities.

To decide which you need, consider your goal. If you want to eliminate hard minerals, choose a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, a filter is the better option. Filters are also generally less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply, you may need to install both for comprehensive treatment.

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.

Whether you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.

To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process 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 Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.

It depends on the type of surface. For instance, if you’re trying to get rid of hard water deposits on glass, you can spray vinegar onto the surface and wipe it off with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. However, if the deposits are on granite or natural stone, it’s better to use baking soda and water rather than vinegar or other acidic cleaners.

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.
