"We have used this company in the past and been very satisfied, but this service was not so great. We called early on a Monday and were told they?d be out by 10AM. By 4PM we realized this was not happening. The technician finally showed up and his excuse was that that he?d had three flat tires. That hardly even seems possible. I asked him if I should turn off the breaker to the well. He said it wasn?t necessary. Around 9PM he indicated he didn?t have the fittings he needed and left again. When he hadn?t returned by 10:30, we called the owner and were told he had yet another flat. When he finally did come back, he managed to short out the control box while completing the install. The owner came the next morning and replaced control box at no charge, but this probably wouldn?t have been necessary if he had let me turn the breaker off as I suggested. After nearly 24 hrs, we finally had water. They left the old tank in the yard and it?s still there. Please come finish this job!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

The most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.
