"Mr. Swanson at JP Water came out to test our water as we had concerns about the iron and other contaminents in our well water. Mr. Swanson was very knowledgable about water chemistry and explained to us in great detail the best treatment options. He was back within the same week installing the system and he did a wonderful job on the install! The price we paid for this system was far less than other estimates we received and our water has never been this clean! Mr. Swanson has great communication and was a kind, honest person that explained the process of installation and maintenance very well. He even came out 14 days later to re-test our water and make sure we were happy with our purchase! Would Highly Recommend to anyone needing water treatment to call JP Water Solutions!"

"The system works well. It took them a day to do the work. We had a pipe burst and pump water into the basement and the sump pump pumped most of the water out -- it surprised the heck out of us how well it worked!"

"It went excellent.  He said I didn't need his services.  He told me what was wrong with each of the water issues I had in my basement, and he told me how to correct them myself.  I was very happy.  He was very honest, frank and helpful.  He spent close to an hour at my house, gave me great advice and didn't charge me a dime.

"Not good. The water leaks had caused black mold that had to be repaired. When repairs were completed 3 months later, the valves still leaked from the stem when turned on. It was past 60 days so I had to pay another $100 service fee to have the water leaks fixed. He tightened the packing and quoted $350 to replace the valves. Sheesh."

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.

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.

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.

Yes, you can have both a water softener and a water filter. In fact, some manufacturers sell dual water softening and filtration systems that treat hard water and provide clean drinking water. If you’re unsure about what you need or want to discuss your options, reach out to a local water softener installation company.
