What is a good hardness level for drinking water?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right water softener for my home?

• <div><p>Choosing involves understanding water hardness levels, household size, desired features, and consulting professionals experienced in suitable system types.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a conditioner with a water softener?

• <div><p>You should not use a water conditioner with a water softener because a water conditioner changes the chemistry of the water and causes the ion exchange in a softener to be ineffective. Choose a water softener if you have hard water or well water, and use a water conditioner if you need to remove certain contaminants.</p></div>

Q: How do I install a water softener system?

• <div><p>You can install a water softener system by turning off the water supply, draining the water, and then connecting your device to the waterline. Next, you&rsquo;ll fill your tank with the recommended amount of salt or brine (whichever your unit calls for; be sure to read the instructions). Turn the water supply on and check for leaks. You can opt to let your water run for a few minutes, then test it using strips. </p><p>The process of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-inspect-your-water-softener.htm">inspecting your water softener system</a> is similar.</p></div>

Q: How far away does a tankless water heater need to be from a softener?

• <div><p>A tankless water heater should be at least 10 feet away from a water softener, although the pros you hire for water softener installation can help you determine the correct distance. These two units need to have some distance between them to prevent hot water from the tankless water heater from flowing backward into the water softener when it runs a regeneration cycle.</p></div>

They are very good. It was like their annual tune up of the system where they changed filters and changed the wipe off on the system that cleaned the germs in the water. . They test the water. They are very prompt, good, and professional.. They know what they are doing.

I was very satisfied. The owner, Jim Wright, installed the system, and he went way above and beyond from what he needed to do. He didn't even charge me for the extra work he did. He is a very honest person, and I would highly recommend him to others.
