"Candace and her team was amazing. Donâ  t Let the young boy fool you when you see them. Both was very professional and polite from the moment they came to my house. They educated me very well about my system and set everything up for me as well even though the water softener and the RO was not their product. The shed was also look better than what I imagine While it hide both the water treatment and water softener. Overall, I had a great experience and I would highly recommend soft20 to anyone."

"Ralph and Jake did a great job installing our water softener. Once we decided to get a filter/Softener system my wife and I did some internet homework and had 3 companies come out and quote for us. Jake provided the best quote, most comprehensive and he was extremely knowledgeable. East Plano is known for hard water and it can cause problems with appliances and caused dry, itchy skin. The install went great, they were on time and cleaned the site when complete. In just one day we could tell the difference. I really recommend this company and these guys."

"Trained water treatment specialist showed up on time and tested several parameters of my water. Was able to answer all of my questions without giving me any pressure sales techniques. I learned things about my water that I had never even thought about before. Will have to go with these guys when I can afford the system, they definitely know their stuff."

"They did a great job! It went faster than I expected. I asked one of the guys if he had time, would he check a leak under my kitchen sink. He was very thorough. It turns out that we had a bolt still attached underneath the sink from a previous water filter installation. We needed a different type of bolt and he switched the bolts for free! He even gave me some much needed advice to help prevent further leaks from the faucet area. I really appreciated the extra mile! I am very pleased with Lone Star Water Services and would gladly recommend them to others."

"The lady who did our water testing was thorough & informative. The install people were efficient , professional & went to great lengths trying to preserve our lawn while looking for underground water lines. We did encounter an issue with our purchase plan after the fact, but Rick Keck (the GM) spent a great deal of time with us & he exceeded our expectations on a resolution! This is a great company that has good options for water treatment. Combined with a lot of people who do good work & management that cares to make the customers happy if an issue arises."

"

Our Tech was Glenn, He called before coming and he arrived on time. He was very polite, professional and friendly. He went to work quickly 

We have had slow drain in the kitchen sink since we move here 4yrs ago. Sink would back up and go into dishwasher. We could not run water in kitchen sink while the dishwasher was running without drains backing up. The Plumber came in undid the pipes under the sink and ran a plumbing snake through the pipes until he dislodged what ever had been causing the stoppage for all these years, reconnected all the pipes and did all this without causing a mess! Afterwards he checked to be sure all the pipes drained well. Removed his equipment and was gone in less than 30 min!! It was wonderful! The pipes never drained so well..

   It is awesome to not have to worry about washing dishes and  not fearing another mess.

"I was extremely pleased with the work from Alb’s Brothers Plumbing. I had a problem with my water heater where I had water leaking from my ceiling. The technician was very knowledgeable, had the correct tools and got there quick. I’m glad that I can rely on a plumbing company who is there for my plumbing needs."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

You can install a water softener system by turning off the water supply, draining the water, and then connecting your device to the waterline. Next, you’ll fill your tank with the recommended amount of salt or brine (whichever your unit calls for; be sure to read the instructions). Turn the water supply on and check for leaks. You can opt to let your water run for a few minutes, then test it using strips. 

The process of inspecting your water softener system is similar.

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.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

Because it’s been through the water cycle, evaporating and becoming slightly acidic thanks to dissolved carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, rainwater tends to be naturally soft compared to groundwater, which has just been in contact with limestone. However, the natural hardness level of water always depends on where you are and other factors.
