"The installer came to our home: explained how the system works, told us the cost and when we were ready, he came back and had it installed within a few hours. No more hauling salt, since he tested our water and found it was not hard so we didn't need a water softener"

"Great response. Came and installed a water softener for the whole house at a fair price. Workmanship was great. Very courteous. Left the area clean and even brought 6 bags of salt to fill up the tank. Would highly recommend."

"Our oil burner had stopped working and we had no hot water. We called couple of heating plumbers but none of them responded to make an appointment. We then researched online and found Steve's oil burner service's, who were highly recommend. We called them and Steve came to see us the very next day. On inspection of the oil burner Steve recommend us to replace it with a new one.The existing was over 30 years old and had seen its days.Steve was very professional and knowledgeable. He replaced the oil burner with a new efficient one. The job was well handled and they also made sure to clean up after completing the work. We will definitely be using their services again."

"Would hire again and recommend their services to anyone. I thought I had a simple water heater leak. But my problem was a bit more extensive. Maitz both walked me through it (step by step) and quoted several repair options/services to me. The gentleman even went back and saved me over $400.00 on the originally quoted service. Professional, fast and excellent communication backed by solid work. Very strong warranty too. Thank you Maitz!"

"This is the second time I've called for ferdinand for a plumbing issue. I had a leaking filter off the main water pipe and had no idea what to do. He fixed it up with a new model and showed me how to replace future filters. He's very polite and professional and patient with new homeowners like myself. His pricing is also very reasonable. I plan on keeping him as my main plumber for future issues."

"Our service was excellent. Our local plumber referred us to Central PA Soft Water and we're really glad they did. Matt was very helpful in explaining the product that they offer and the associated costs. He was very accommodating with our schedule, but didn't rush to get the install done. The system looks great and works great. I would absolutely recommend these company to anyone looking for a water softening system for their home."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

A good hardness level for drinking water can vary based on personal preferences, but an ideal level is 3.5 to 7 GPG. This means your water isn’t soft or hard. However, some people prefer the “fresh” taste from the minerals in hard water, while others like the smoother, “slippery” texture of soft water.

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. 

Softened water prevents scale deposits, reducing appliance wear, leading to energy savings and longer-lasting household fixtures.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

Whether you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.

To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process 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 Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.
