"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

Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.

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.

Hard water doesn’t hurt, but it might feel more abrasive, especially if you have sensitive skin. It’s also about how your skin feels after bathing. You might feel as though you have a sticky film over your body because you do—it’s all that soapy residue left behind because the hard water can’t rinse it off completely.

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.

Just as hard water can wreak havoc on your skin by drying it out, it’s also not great for your hair. That’s because hard water won’t rinse out shampoo and conditioner as effectively as soft water can. All that product buildup isn’t good news for your hair, which can look dull and limp over time with hard water.
