"I had an emergency hot water tank issue that ultimately required a new hot water tank. Capital Region immediately responded to my request for help and came to my home in 15 minutes. Not only were they prompt but extremely courteous and were able to drain the old tank and provide a new A O Smith hot water tank in less than two hours at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend them for any of your plumbing needs."

"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!"

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

Hard water isn’t necessarily bad for you. In some ways, it’s good for you. If you’re deficient in magnesium or calcium, hard water can give you a mineral boost that you wouldn’t get with soft water. However, this is where the benefits of hard water pretty much stop. Hard water can cause many minor inconveniences and lead to costly, premature replacements of your water-using appliances.

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.

It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.

If your ‘do isn’t doing what you want it to do despite using good hair care products, hard water might be to blame. Since hard water can’t rinse soap off as well as soft water can, your hair might grow limp because of the shampoo and conditioner residue that’s left behind. If you color your hair, you might see it fade more quickly or even turn a different shade as the dye reacts with the minerals in the water. You might also experience an itchy scalp, thanks to the dryness that comes from bathing in the hard water.

Whether you need a license or permit for water softener installation depends on your location. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, while others may only require a permit and an inspection. In some cases, both a permit and a licensed installer are necessary, and some areas have no requirements at all. Often, only certified plumbers and electricians are allowed to pull the necessary permits. To find out the specific regulations in your area, you can contact your local building department. Alternatively, a local water softener installer or plumber will be familiar with the requirements and can typically pull the permits 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 tools like Angi’s state licensing tool to verify an installer's license status.
