"Expert Water Systems truly is Utah’s BEST company in water softener in KNOWLEDGE, VALUE, SERVICE, PRODUCTS and WARRANTY! We have previously owned two different Superior water softeners and our most recent system broke and I was shocked at how expensive a new water softener would be. I did extensive research and reading of reviews (hours and hours) on several different kinds of water softeners (sold at Amazon, Sams, Costco, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Superior Water, Kinetico, and Culligan) and watched literally every You Tube video on “best water softeners”. I then got an installation bid from three local plumbers and found it would cost an expensive $800 just to install a softener that I purchased at Amazon, Sams, Home Depot, Lowe’s, or etc. with only a 1 year limited product warranty or one the plumber could pick up similarly in price and warranty at a business where only plumbers can purchase softeners. During one of the plumber’s bid, he discovered my main water pressure valve was broke and which was reading 95-110 PSI which is too high and most likely was the cause that broke our old water softener. The plumber bid $500 to fix my pressure valve. After these bids, I realized I wanted more than a limited one year product warranty on a new water softener and so I decided to get a bid from an company that specializes in water softeners, so I had Superior Water come to my home to give me a bid. Superior Water’s bid was a choice of two water softeners for the outrageous purchase and install price of $2,395 & $3,995 and also a RO water purifier for $1,295. I felt Superiors prices were Outrageously Expensive so I kept searching. FINALLY, I found FANTASTIC REVIEWS on a newer company called EXPERT WATER SYSTEMS, so I called and had the owner, Nick, and he came out to give me a bid and I was very impressed with his knowledge. Nick was a previous employee at Superior Water and has broke away and started up his own company. Nick builds his own systems and does NOT use parts from China. After my discussion with Nick, I was confident I had found who I wanted to do business with. I purchased a water softener for $1,850 INSTALLED WITH A 15 YEAR WARRANTY (similar to Superior’s $2,395 system with a only a limited 3 year labor 10 year parts warranty) and I paid Nick only $185 to fix and replace our main water pressure valve (same service that the plumber bid $500 to fix). My research paid off! I found Expert Water Systems was the MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE, offered the MOST CHOICES (36 different water softener systems), had the BEST KNOWLEDGE, BEST VALUE, BEST PRODUCTS, BEST WARRANTY and BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE! Hopefully the extensive time I spent on researching water softeners, reading reviews and getting bids, will help someone else in their decision. Go with Expert Water Systems, YOU WILL SAVE MONEY and have a BETTER WARRANTY! With the money I ended up saving, I inquired with Nick about RO water purification systems and I ended up buying a purification system too from Nick for $799 installed (similar to Superior’s system for $1,395) and now we have PURE drinking water in a separate smaller designer faucet at our kitchen sink and also in the water line going to our refrigerator (pure cold drinking water and pure ice)! Additionally, upon installing our new Softener and RO purifier, Nick and his son, found two small leaks not related to their install and they fixed them without an additional charge, now that is what I call EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE!"

"Ive been using Terry for anything plumbing related since 2012. I've had work done to make my water heater work, then eventually replaced my water heater; he helped me set up a bidet and hand rails in my shower for my elderly mom; he’s installed my dishwasher because it needed a longer line. Currently, I have a leak in my main water line between my house and the sidewalk... and I'm sure it's going to be awesome. Terry is great with my mother and my dogs. Love him and happy to have him to call or text whenever I need him. Also, always works me in fast even with my difficult schedule. :)"

"We have been customers of Manwill for over 10 years. The reasons why were highlighted yesterday when our water heater unexpectedly failed. I called their emergency number at about 9:30 AM and was quickly connected with Jeff. He helped me figure out how to protect my home, educated me about the implications of recent legislation regarding water heaters, and scheduled an appointment for replacement for late yesterday evening. A brief while later, one of his teams were redirected to our home because their assigned job went more quickly than expected. The men had a new, environmentally safer water heater installed before 4:00 PM and for less than I had expected to pay. It is nice to have a company filled with people who know what they're doing, and behave in a professional, responsible manner, on your side, especially in an urgent situation."

"Neighborly Plumbing has to be by far the best plumbing company I’ve ever worked with. We’ve had water issues in our home and contacted five different plumbing companies to have a battery back up sump pump installed because of numerous weather and electrical outages. I was lucky enough to get an estimate from Casey. Not only was he completely knowledgeable with all plumbing codes he was an expert with sump pump systems. All other plumbing estimates had limited knowledge of sump systems and were more than willing to simply dump an extra sump in the basin without any knowledge of how a backup battery worked. In fact those plumbers asked me what I wanted and asked for my suggestions! Seriously!! Need I say I went with Neighborly Plumbing. Their bid was extremely competitive and after all was done and said their quality was heads above everyone else. While completing the job they ended up redesigning the sump system because they found excessive water tables around the property. They wanted to insure that the system they installed was custom to our home and as such they ended up upgrading parts and incurring an additional day of labor for two master plumbers but yet honored my estimate. I’m sure they certainly couldn’t afford to do that on a frequent basis but it goes to show you that there are tradesman still alive and well who insist on quality and function on all jobs that they complete. I can’t say enough about what a pleasure it was to work with Casey, Chris, Matt and Travis. This is a small company but big on reliability, integrity, and quality. Teresa Graziano"

"I called Salt City Plumbing on a Saturday at 3PM to request a replacement for a water heater. I spoke with Josh Fuit and he immediately dispatched David Lloyd to pick up a water heater from Standard Plumbing. Mr Lloyd arrived at my house within one hour! Mr. Lloyd finished installing the new water heater in about an hour. I m so impressed with Salt City Plumbing s quick response to my initial phone call. Mr Lloyd arrived at my house wearing a mask and gloves due to Covid19. You ll be very pleased with Salt City Plumbing."

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.

A water softener removes minerals from your drinking water and can make your house water softer. These softeners are designed to extend the lifetime of your plumbing system while also making water safer and more palatable for drinking. Hard water, which is water with a heavy amount of suspended particles, can also cause hair damage, skin irritation, and buildup in your pipes.

Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won’t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn’t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average water softener installation cost is between $200 and $6,000.

Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.

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.
