"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

A lower-end water softener would cost around $900, not including installation. Each home has different requirements, water hardness, and number of inhabitants, so there’s a huge range in pricing—$600 to over $6,000. The average water softener repair bill is around $500, meaning it’s a much better option to repair any issues and only replace your softener if absolutely necessary. 

Softened water prevents scale deposits, reducing appliance wear, leading to energy savings and longer-lasting household fixtures.

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time. 

You should not use a water conditioner with a water softener because a water conditioner changes the chemistry of the water and causes the ion exchange in a softener to be ineffective. Choose a water softener if you have hard water or well water, and use a water conditioner if you need to remove certain contaminants.
