"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."

"I just wanted to leave a quick review. I appreciate Russ with Integrity Plumbing so much. I did not know who to call when my garbage disposal just died with raw chicken I had just stuffed in it. I put in a request in for estimate on Angis app not sure what to expect. Within hours I was on the phone with Russ. He was prompt (actually early which is awesome!) and I had a new disposal within mins. He also noticed how bad the water pressure was and took a look around the house. I went ahead and had him install a new pressure regulator valve and the increase in water pressure is nuts! I can’t wIt to shower! Thank you so much, Russ! I will be calling you on future projects/installs!"

"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 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"

"Stephen was great, my tub backed up with water and my toilet would not flush, turns out my septic field needed replacing. Very responsive, reasonably priced and best of all. I didn’t have to leave my home during the repairs. I’d give 10 stars if I could."

"Ogre and Above Plumbing was simply wonderful!! They were the first ones to call me and everyone I dealt with was absolutely wonderful and professional and helpful!! Sage the Master Plumber was particularly wonderful!! He found the problem instantly and provided a very reasonable estimate! He helped me today immensely by cleaning and replacing drainpipes to help with the problem until the major work can be completed due to my financial situation. I am so incredibly grateful to him and everyone! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Sage!!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

The primary difference between a water softener and a water filter lies in what they remove from the water. A water softener is designed to remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. In contrast, a water filter has a broader effect, removing various contaminants above a certain size, which can include bacteria and other impurities.

To decide which you need, consider your goal. If you want to eliminate hard minerals, choose a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, a filter is the better option. Filters are also generally less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply, you may need to install both for comprehensive treatment.

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.

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.

While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.
