"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

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time. 

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

Water purifiers and water softeners serve different purposes, so the best one will depend on your particular needs. Water purifiers remove contaminants from water (such as bacteria, viruses, and chemicals), leaving you with ultra-clean and safe water. However, water softeners remove minerals from your water so that the water doesn’t leave stains around your house or cause plumbing problems.

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.

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.
