Q: How do I install a water softener system?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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. </p><p>The process of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-inspect-your-water-softener.htm">inspecting your water softener system</a> is similar.</p></div>

Q: What causes poor water pressure in the shower?

• <div><p>There are many possibilities for why your shower&rsquo;s water pressure is low. It might be a simple-to-fix issue like the water valves being partially turned off, a dirty showerhead or hose, leaks in the plumbing, or an old showerhead. However, low water pressure in the shower could also indicate a larger issue with your home&rsquo;s plumbing system.</p></div>

Q: How far away does a tankless water heater need to be from a softener?

• <div><p>A tankless water heater should be at least 10 feet away from a water softener, although the pros you hire for water softener installation can help you determine the correct distance. These two units need to have some distance between them to prevent hot water from the tankless water heater from flowing backward into the water softener when it runs a regeneration cycle.</p></div>

Q: Can you drink softened water?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s fine to drink softened water. However, if you follow a low-sodium diet or have high blood pressure or sodium-related health concerns, make sure to speak with your doctor beforehand. If they advise against drinking water that&rsquo;s been softened with sodium, you might be able to use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-i-use-potassium-chloride-hard-water.htm">potassium in your water softener</a> instead.</p></div>

Q: Which areas of the U.S. have hard water?

• <div><p>Most of the U.S. has hard water, especially across portions of the West and Midwest. The areas with the hardest water include parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Illinois, North and South Dakota, Ohio, and New York. You&rsquo;ll find soft water in parts of New England, the Southeast, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii.</p></div>
