"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

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.

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.

The most effective way to fix hard water in your shower is by installing a whole-home water softening system. This system treats water as it enters your home, removing the minerals that cause hardness before they can reach your shower or any other fixtures. While this is the most comprehensive solution, other methods are often temporary fixes. For a more affordable and shower-specific option, you can install a water-softening showerhead or a shower filter. However, these filters are generally less effective and may not remove all the contaminants that lead to limescale and hard water stains. By implementing a water softening solution, you can expect a reduction in mineral deposits and enjoy the benefits of cleaner-feeling hair and skin.

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.

Because it’s been through the water cycle, evaporating and becoming slightly acidic thanks to dissolved carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, rainwater tends to be naturally soft compared to groundwater, which has just been in contact with limestone. However, the natural hardness level of water always depends on where you are and other factors.
