"Removed old water heater and installed new water heater and brought water heater up to code. They arrived on time and performed the work efficiently and neatly. The price for the direct vent water heater plus installation was about $250 less than another local quote. Overall I am very satisfied with the price and quality of the installation."

"Russ is experienced and has limited his services to a niche group, therefore he has the time to do the job right. He's not trying to be all things to all people. He installed a tankless water heater for us and removed the old ones. Couldn't be happier with the service and we will call him again."

"Called on Ethical Plumbing for a leak under our crawlspace. Tristan &Colin arrived and after explaining our situation, they proceeded to get to work. Working in an area that is only 2 ft. high, they determined the cause of the leak. That was the first day...on the second day they replaced all water lines under and in the house as well as installing a new hot water tank outside. Not only was it a very large job, they had to endure the rain for the two days. They found the problem, came up with a solid solution and had us up and running . We would also like to thank Stefanie who was very helpful and understanding of our situation. Thank you Ethical Plumbing for your help and professional team."

"I knew nothing about water filtration systems before hiring Eco Water. I had serious issues with my water and got filtration system and bacteria light for whole home. It was only a one day instalI but could have been less if it was not for running lines from one side of house to the other for the system to be put in my garage. The system works great!! I would recommend Eco Water for your home."

"Very impressed with this company. I scheduled a kitchen faucet installation with Jacob. He arrived on time and was very knowledgeable and professional. The installation went perfectly. He even cleaned up after everything was installed. I would highly recommend this company for any plumbing needs and plan on using them again soon!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Hard water isn’t necessarily bad for you. In some ways, it’s good for you. If you’re deficient in magnesium or calcium, hard water can give you a mineral boost that you wouldn’t get with soft water. However, this is where the benefits of hard water pretty much stop. Hard water can cause many minor inconveniences and lead to costly, premature replacements of your water-using appliances.

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.

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.

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’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. 

The process of inspecting your water softener system is similar.

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.
