"Have been with infinity water for a few years now. They have taken care of my water systems in two of my houses and the service is as great as the quality products they offer. James is a fantastic technician and very professional in every aspect. Extreme attention to detail and he is very informative as to what is needed and how the system is functioning. I cannot say enough great things about James and the entire infinity water system team. Dan"

"I would like to thank R and D Water Services for their expertise in the construction of a new water well for my daughter in Spring Lake Estates in Conroe, TX. My daughter has resided at her present location @ 18 years and NEVER in those years did the water run as well as now. The expert service was very much appreciated."

"Cindy was very professional she came to the house took the water samples. She sent the water samples to her back office where they were able to design a water filtration system to remove chlorine and chloramine from my water supply for the whole house. Cindy has a process which is very strong and she has a team of people that help with design build installation and maintenance. I just wish I would’ve installed the system several years ago. My bath water is crystal clear and I enjoy no longer smelling the toxic fumes of chlorine in my house."

"Everything went great.  The installer had difficulty finding the 'main water line' going into the house. After hours of digging and looking he finally located it.  Then he had to run the pipe from the main line to the equipment which took a few more hours.  Then he came inside and installed the reverse osmosis equipment under the kitchen sink.  He started at 4pm and did not leave until 11:15pm.



We are very impressed with how good our water feels to shower/bathe in.  The taste of the water is much improved too."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

Hard water isn’t necessarily bad for you. In some ways, it’s good for you. If you’re deficient in magnesium or calcium, hard water can give you a mineral boost that you wouldn’t get with soft water. However, this is where the benefits of hard water pretty much stop. Hard water can cause many minor inconveniences and lead to costly, premature replacements of your water-using appliances.

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.

Soft water is better for your hair. The minerals in hard water can dry out hair, make it brittle, and leave a film on the hair and scalp that may cause irritation. Hard water also doesn't rinse out shampoo and conditioner effectively, which can lead to product buildup that makes hair look dull and limp. You may also find you need to use more shampoo to get a good lather in hard water.

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.
