"Adrian was so very helpful explaining the options and nuances of a water softener system and whole home softener/purification system. He was not the pushy sales guy but explained our options and let us decide on which system we preferred in our new home. We decided to purchase a whole home water softener/purification system. I was out of town during the installation, and my wife was there for the installation of the system which was done during our move in week. She did not remember all the details of the system after installation due to all the chaos related to moving. Approximately six weeks after the system was installed, I called Adrian and asked if he could come back to our home and give me a tutorial of the system operation and its equipment since this was our first time owning this type of system. Adrian scheduled a follow-up visit the very next day and came to our home to explain the system, it's components and how it operates. I highly recommend this company."

"Andrew did a fantastic job finding the source of my wet basement. We thought it was a faulty water heater initially based on location of water. However, after inspecting the water heater, he discovered the water softener discharge lines came loose and where spraying water during recharge. After fixing the lines, Andrew went over water heater maintenance and answered all my questions. I will definitely use Eco Plumbing in the future and ask for Andrew. Eco is a fair and honest company! Thank you!!!"

"My well pump went out on a Sunday evening. He came out that evening to assess the situation and troubleshoot to find out why I didn't have any water. He came out the next morning we removed the old well pump put a new one in. And has been working great since. He was honest fair priced and had great service"

"Unblocking a drain (blocked by tree roots) turned out to be more extensive than anticipated. Mr Humphrey did a great job, came back to take care of some water heater issues caused by the silty water on the basement floor. He also gave me some great advice on any future blockage problems."

Jeff was professional, helpful, and answered our questions. I appreciate this company and will use them in the future for other home repairs and maintenance issues."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Hard water is not considered unhealthy and is safe to drink, cook with, and bathe in. It doesn't pose a risk to your physical health and can even help you get enough essential minerals like calcium in your diet. However, it can negatively affect skin and hair. Using hard water for washing can contribute to dry skin, an itchy scalp, and may worsen conditions like eczema by altering the pH balance. Additionally, some people do not like the taste of hard water.

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.

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.

Generally, it is safe to bathe in yellow water, as the color is often caused by iron, tannins, or rust, which won't harm your skin. Soap will still clean you effectively, though the water might leave stains. However, if the water has an unusual smell or you suspect contamination, avoid bathing and contact a plumber for an inspection. A professional can also help if you find bathing in yellow water problematic and want to determine how to get your water clear again.

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.
