"Hugo arrived promptly and disconnected the non-operational water softener, which had caused considerable flooding in my garage. He followed up by checking all the taps inside the house, plus toilet tanks, to be sure there was no resin in the system. The technician was very efficient and knowledgeable and helped me by hauling away the offending water softener! Hugo did everything within about fifteen minutes. Very satisfactory work. Thank you to Hugo and his assistant."
"Douglas and his assistant arrived at promised time (after confirmation phone call) and confirmed the old water heater was leaking and needed to be replaced. They removed leaking unit and replace with a Rheem tank water heater. The work was completed in a timely manner and the old water heater taken. They explained how the water heater worked and how to adjust and maintenance I could perform to assure peak performance. The work quality was excellent and professional."
"Jims Plumbing Now was referred by my foundation repair company. Technician came out and performed a test in drain and water. Both passed and foundation company gave me a lifetime warranty on foundation work. Will use them in future if I need a plumber."
"The Ashcroft Brothers worked tirelessly on a SAT from 6-11pm to instal a new tankless hot water heater so me & my family could have hot showers after days of cold showers! They were professional and expeditious. Champion was a little pricey however it is WORTH EVERY PENNY! Thank you to the brothers who worked so hard on a Saturday until almost midnight! We appreciate it !"
"The repairmen was very professional and experience in his craft, I was shocked at how fast they responded to my request. It is a known fact that electricians,plumbers, carpenters and etc. are very expensive, but three or four hundred dollars to replace just a water faucet is entirely to much. As stated previously, I hired them to replace my air conditioner and they did a masterful job."
"I called to have Axis Plumbing repair a main water line and fix a toilet that was running. Taylor arrived within 90 minutes!! He was very courteous upon arrival, and took care of everything on the spot! We talked about our water softener and he gave me a quote to service it as well, which we had him do. He cleaned up after he was done, and it was like he was never even there! I would highly recommend him to take care of any of your plumbing or water softener issues! I will definitely be calling him for all of our future plumbing needs!"

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’ll find soft water in parts of New England, the Southeast, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii.
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.
If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks.
That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.
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.
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.
