"I was impressed with Clyde when he responded immediately to my initial inquiry. He led by stating in that call that he would help us get our water back, which was a nice reassurance and he arrived at our home shortly after. After some diagnosing, he spent time very patiently explaining how he arrived at his conclusions and proceeded to find us a tank and install it, all of this in one day. He also helped with a few other small details while there. Thank you, Clyde for taking away the sting of losing our water and for standing by your word on the pricing. We would highly recommend again."

"I brought my plumber plus technician to check a leak under the water heater. The communications regarding scheduling were effective; the technician was available promptly, and he was professional. The one star is based on highly insufficient communications regarding the product and services provided. This, in my view, resulted in deception, on the extreme, or at the least, misinformation and significant overcharge. This company is at the very high end of the price point. When you are facing an emergency and don't have time to do comparisons, be aware! I was offered $1500 to replace a small piece of narrow tubing leading to the water-heater; $3000 to add the pressurizer; and $4500 to replace the water heater! I was promised an energy efficient water heater for which I'd be able to take energy rebates or tax rebates. Upon the completion of work, I was given a receipt with one line - heater replacement - and a final charge. I requested and never received a breakdown of charges. The model of water heater that was installed is priced around $1000 on the market (I checked with multiple vendors). The model is HIGHLY energy inefficient (estimated $326 with $330 for annual energy charges for similar models). It is not subject to any energy or tax rebates. The manufacturer itself offers rebates but the plumber never offered me those. The plumber bashed the HomeDepot (6 year old) water heater that we had, but never explained what was the need and why the "commercial grade" water heater was installed in our house. In short, if you are willing pay the triple or quadruple price for speed and niceties, go ahead and use my plumber plus. This was my first and last time dealing with them."

"I had power go out in my room, I call Just Better Home Services, they were quick to respond and send an electrician out. They ended up charging me $441 for several hours of troubleshooting. and I still did not have power in my room. They did quote me over $3000 to run new circuits to 2 of my rooms. I had another electrician come out a few days later. He found the issue in less than 30 minutes and charged me significate less. I do not recommend Just Better Services electrician services."

Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Soft water is better for your hair. The minerals in hard water can impact hair in a number of ways. It can cause the hair to dry out and become brittle, and it can require you to use more shampoo to get a good lather. The hard water may leave a film on the hair and scalp from mineral buildup, which may also cause some irritation.

You can use a commercial water repellent treatment for glass on your shower doors to prevent water spots. Take care to only apply the product to glass. Letting air circulate also helps prevent water spots, as water is less likely to remain on the glass for a long time with good air circulation. Run your vent fan, open a window, and leave the shower door open for about half an hour after using the shower.

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.

Hard water isn’t necessarily bad for you. In some ways, it’s good for you. If you’re deficient in magnesium or calcium, hard water can give you a mineral boost that you wouldn’t get with soft water. However, this is where the benefits of hard water pretty much stop. Hard water can cause many minor inconveniences and lead to costly, premature replacements of your water-using appliances.

Whether or not your water softener installation requires a permit depends on where you live; some municipalities only let certified plumbers and electricians pull the necessary permits and complete the work, others only require a professional to sign off on the work, and some don’t mandate permits at all. You can contact your local building department to find out, but you can also ask a local water softener installer or plumber to see if a permit is necessary. They will usually pull the permits for you and can help close them out after the work is complete.
