"Keith's quote for a 40 gal. water heater (plus pan) was less than the others I called. He came the next day, called ahead, arrived promptly, answered my questions, was professional and polite. I will call him the next time I need a plumber."

"I was very pleased with all aspects of Heeter Plumbing. They were very efficient and professional. They replaced my outside faucet, which hadn't been usable for several years after freezing one winter, and installed the water heater both in one day. Unfortunately after trying a couple of different things, the tub faucet which had just a trickle of water coming from it, was was unable to be fixed the first trip. Another company tried to fix the same problem earlier in the year, but I ended up experiencing the problem again and worse. After getting a separate estimate for the problem job, another time was set to complete the work. Upon arrival, they tried several things again to see if they would work before actually going through with the most expensive solution. They had to cut an access panel through a bedroom wall to get to the pipes to replace them. They did a great job with clean up. The estimate price was right on target. After they were finished, water filled the tub faster than it ever has in the 21 years I've lived in the house. After several months later, it's continuing to work just as well. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future!"

"Highly Disappointed/Dissatisfied. 8/18/21 had hot water tank replaced by Merrell Plumbing tech. Paid $1536.16 9/5/21 have water dripping down the wall and on to the floor. Discover it’s coming from a hot water pipe and call Merrell back for emergency service to repair. Paid $500.85. 9/8/21 talk with Mark about my concern that the leak was coming from the same pipe that connects to the hot water tank that was replaced a couple of weeks earlier. Coincidental? Maybe/Maybe not. I asked Mark, as a good faith gesture, if an adjustment could be made (i.e. that I pay the regular labor rate vs. the emergency labor rate) as I believe the leaking issue could have been related to when the hot water tank was replaced as the tech would have had contact with that water pipe. Mark’s responses: “There was some corrosion on the pipe so no adjustment will be made” (my attempts to say that perhaps the tech working on the end of the pipe contributed to the leak happening were dismissed). “I made the decision to schedule the emergency call on Sunday and not wait until Tuesday when the office was back open”. That was correct but I had water coming down my wall. “I could have turned the water off”. That was correct but having no water for several days was not a viable option for me and my family."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.

Water softeners are worth the money if you live in an area with hard water. Hard water is safe to drink, but it poses serious threats to your plumbing system. The minerals in hard water will gradually build up on the inside walls of your pipes, reducing water flow to your fixtures. The minerals can also gradually corrode your plumbing system, reduce its lifespan, and increase the risk of leaks. Hard water also makes soap and detergent less effective. Water softener systems can solve all these issues, making them a great investment.

The best way to soften hard water in the shower is with a water softening system. These whole-home softeners help remove minerals from the water as it enters your home. If you’re looking for a more affordable, shower-specific solution, install a water-softening showerhead to filter water as it’s coming out. With a water softening solution in place, you may find a reduction in mineral deposits as well as cleaner-feeling hair and skin.

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.

The main difference between water softeners and water filters is that softeners remove hard minerals from the water, while filters have more of a blanket effect, removing all contaminants above a certain size. Filters are also much less expensive to install and protect against bacteria and other impurities. Depending on your water supply, you may need both.
