Q: Is it OK to oversize a water softener?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not a good idea to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-water-softener-do-i-need.htm">oversize your water softener</a>. Doing so will mean the tank doesn&rsquo;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&rsquo;ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right water treatment system for my needs?

• <div><p>Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.</p></div>

Q: How can I make my house water softer?

• <div><p>A water softener removes minerals from your drinking water and can make your house water softer. These softeners are designed to extend the lifetime of your plumbing system while also making water safer and more palatable for drinking. Hard water, which is water with a heavy amount of suspended particles, can also cause hair damage, skin irritation, and buildup in your pipes. </p></div>

Q: Can hard water cause hair loss?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s unlikely that hard water on its own could cause substantial hair loss or damage, though it&rsquo;s true that bathing in hard water can cause your scalp to feel itchy or flaky and might dull your hair&rsquo;s natural shine. Using high-quality shampoo and conditioner or buying a whole-home water softener can decrease these issues.</p></div>

Q: How does a water softener impact household appliances and fixtures?

• <div><p>Softened water prevents scale deposits, reducing appliance wear, leading to energy savings and longer-lasting household fixtures.</p></div>

"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."
