"Mr. Nick Fontenot from Ben Franklin Plumbing in Mansfield, TX did a great job removing the old water heater and installing a new one in just a couple hours. We've used them before for other plumbing issues and they have always arrived at or before the scheduled time, performed admirably at a reasonable cost, and cleaned up when the project was completed. It couldn't have been any faster or done with any more professionalism."
"They were on time, efficient, professional and reasonable. The owner would come out each day to inspect the work. I recommended them to my daughter but she had them install a gas water heater it was installed but she found out later that their work was not up to code. They did electrical work for me. I would recommend them for electrical work but not for installation of a gas water heater."

Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.
Hard water is not considered unhealthy and is safe to drink, cook with, and bathe in. It doesn't pose a risk to your physical health and can even help you get enough essential minerals like calcium in your diet. However, it can negatively affect skin and hair. Using hard water for washing can contribute to dry skin, an itchy scalp, and may worsen conditions like eczema by altering the pH balance. Additionally, some people do not like the taste of hard water.
The average cost to install a water softener, including the system and labor, is approximately $1,500. However, the total price can range widely from $600 to $6,000. For some complete systems, the cost may be between $800 and $2,500. Labor for the installation typically costs between $150 and $1,000.
The final price is influenced by several factors, including:
System type, capacity, and complexity
Home size and household water demands
Water hardness levels
Accessibility of the installation site and the extent of plumbing work required
Whether new electrical work is needed
The professional hired and any local permit costs
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.
Experts recommend that you put two to four bags of potassium chloride in your water softener every month. This amount depends on how much is in the bag (40 pounds is most common) and what your water softener manufacturer recommends. For more specific advice, talk to a water softener pro in your area and read the manual that came with your system.
