"Ivan did an excellent job replacing the main shutoff and pressure regulator with ProPress. I do have to mention that I was working in the same area as the plumbing work with my Milwaukee drill, and the drill was gone afterwards. I had Ethical check their van and no one could find anything. It's 8 months later and no drill. I can't fault Ivan, lesson for me going forward is never work around another pro at the same time."

"I was concerned about the quality of the water in my home. I called around to see what my options were and what I was looking at price-wise. I got ahold of EcoWater of Greenville and they were available right away. They not only tested my water FOR FREE, but they also offered a custom and affordable option for my family. I would (and have) recommend EcoWater of Greenville to all homeowners. Everyone I was in contact with was professional and the customer service was excellent. The peace of mind during this time was worth the investment, and the water that runs through my home is noticeably cleaner. Thanks to Steve and the whole EcoWater family. I look forward to many years of clean, delicious water. -Satisfied Customer"

"They came out on a Sunday because I had no water. They are so nice & helpful. My tenant left and turned off the water because the water line was leaking when the water and ice tube was removed. There was no shut off valve upstairs so the repair man went to purchase the part and came back so I could have water. He replaced the filter which was clogged and increased the water pressure. These are the same guys who replaced my tank a couple years ago. Very dependable. I highly recommend."

"Rusty is a great guy. Personable, honest, transparent. I sent pictures regarding my dilemma with my water heater. He was able to diagnose the problem and he told me what steps I needed to take to replace it. The process was not lengthy and he did a great job. I would definitely recommend his services."

"Had water damage to hardwood Floor, used Angies List to locate floor contractor, had 3 quotes. Mike Flaker seemed to be the most knowledgable and his price was fair. Work quality was excellent, he did a great job matching stain to the existing floor. Highly recommend him for any of your floor needs!"

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

You can use a commercial water repellent treatment for glass on your shower doors to prevent water spots. Take care to only apply the product to glass. Letting air circulate also helps prevent water spots, as water is less likely to remain on the glass for a long time with good air circulation. Run your vent fan, open a window, and leave the shower door open for about half an hour after using the shower.

The main difference between a water softener and a water filter is what they remove from the water. A water softener is specifically designed to remove hard minerals, while a filter removes a wider range of contaminants above a certain size, such as bacteria and other impurities. If your primary goal is to remove minerals, a softener is the best choice. If you want to remove various contaminants for safety or taste, a filter is more suitable. Filters are also typically less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply's specific issues, you may need to install both systems for comprehensive treatment.

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.
