"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."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

The most effective way to fix hard water in your shower is by installing a whole-home water softening system. This system treats water as it enters your home, removing the minerals that cause hardness before they can reach your shower or any other fixtures. While this is the most comprehensive solution, other methods are often temporary fixes. For a more affordable and shower-specific option, you can install a water-softening showerhead or a shower filter. However, these filters are generally less effective and may not remove all the contaminants that lead to limescale and hard water stains. By implementing a water softening solution, you can expect a reduction in mineral deposits and enjoy the benefits of cleaner-feeling hair and skin.

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.

The most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.

Soft water is better for your hair. The minerals in hard water can dry out hair, make it brittle, and leave a film on the hair and scalp that may cause irritation. Hard water also doesn't rinse out shampoo and conditioner effectively, which can lead to product buildup that makes hair look dull and limp. You may also find you need to use more shampoo to get a good lather in hard water.
