"The sales rep took several water testsâ ¦ The sales rep took several water tests and showed me the results. She told me that I needed more than just a water softener. I also needed a system to address the rust and iron in my well water. I did not want to spend a fortune but the sales lady was pretty convincing. The price was good and the workmanship was excellent. My water is clean again ! Now I can tackle the original problem. My toilet has bad rust stains. I will either get it clean, or replace it. I could not do this until the water was fixed."

"They stood behind their work until the problem with an outside to inside water connection was completed. We saved some money by digging our own hole so they could do their job. Very accommodating. I feel they were honest with us the whole time."

"A good price was offered. Mr. Moore showed up when he said he would with advance text that he was on his way. Installation of water softener was done neatly and quickly and cost was as estimated. All seems to be initially operating well and as stated. Only time can tell if equipment is reliable so I have no comments in that area."

"Jamie did a fantastic job. Came out the day we called him to see what needed to be done.  The next day he and his associate had the new hot water tank in quickly and efficiently. Spent time showing us how the new hot water tank worked and answered all of our questions. Would definitely recommend Smith Plumbing!

"For years, I’ve had a variable odor in my basement that several licensed plumbers failed to diagnose correctly or at all. Their assessments ranged from "can't smell it" to "possible sewer gas." One plumber taped the open areas of the floor drain housing the hoses the water softener & Rinnai, while others recommended pouring vinegar & water down it. Another dismissed the musty smell from my tankless water heater's exterior intake/exhaust duct as “simple moisture.” Thankfully, Cody Carroll of Piping Hot Plumbing came for a separate job. The moment he walked past my tankless water heater, he immediately recognized the odor: a dangerous propane leak. He instantly shut down the system, explaining the serious safety hazard. He literally saved my life & home from a potential explosion. Cody's professionalism & honest, quick action were remarkable. He even went above and beyond, driving to Richmond on a Saturday morning to get a replacement that afternoon. He took care of everything!"

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

There are many possibilities for why your shower’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’s plumbing system.

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.

Generally, it is safe to bathe in yellow water, as the color is often caused by iron, tannins, or rust, which won't harm your skin. Soap will still clean you effectively, though the water might leave stains. However, if the water has an unusual smell or you suspect contamination, avoid bathing and contact a plumber for an inspection. A professional can also help if you find bathing in yellow water problematic and want to determine how to get your water clear again.

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time. 

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.
