"10 year old system, so worried about big expense. Mike of Plumbing Innovators pulled off a messy valve, installed a new one, and provided a spare for me to use if/when it clogged again. Mike took the time to explain life span of some well water components. Higher these folks with a high degree of confidence in their honesty & integrity. I have used them exclusively for the past five years."

"We live in a rural area and have had many issues with finding a good contractor for many projects we have had. Many are over priced and do not complete projects as specified. Best Water was awesome. They came out and were on time as scheduled and very informative of the problem and the work they would be doing to repair the problem. They gave a fair price and went the extra mile. Very professional. I would highly recommend them."

"We had a Hague WATERMAX WATER SOFTENER + FILTER system installed along with a reverse osmosis system for our drinking water. They also corrected our acidic pH all of which improved our home's water quality tremendously. I love the fact that it has a self-cleaning filter and that the reverse osmosis system's filter only needs to be changed once per year. It is not the cheapest system on the market, but you get what you pay for!"

"We had the reverse osmosis put in for our drinking water. Then we had the whole house filtration system put in. Justin and Charlie tested our water for free and gave us the results. They were great in explaining everything about the water systems. We made an appointment to have the installation of everything done the next week. The installers were great and answered any and all questions we had. We would highly recommend Justin and ClearWave Water Solutions!"

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.

No, hard water isn’t dangerous. The added calcium in hard water can contribute to good bone health. However, it can also cause dry skin and hair. If you have dry skin or hair, consider using a water-softening system to help minimize the minerals in your water. Plus, these systems can also add some sodium to your diet. 

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.

It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.

Hard water doesn’t hurt, but it might feel more abrasive, especially if you have sensitive skin. It’s also about how your skin feels after bathing. You might feel as though you have a sticky film over your body because you do—it’s all that soapy residue left behind because the hard water can’t rinse it off completely.
