"Pristine did a great job. We were pleased they were willing to hook up existing equipment, as some companies had refused to. (Our previous company had gone out of business, and they complimented the existing work.) They worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves. Now our water is acid free and has fewer minerals.

"I got six estimates for replacement of my 12-year-old water heater. I went with Advanced Water Systems of Coastal NC-VA. I’m extremely happy with the purchase and installation of my new water heater. Advanced Water Systems of Coastal NC-VA impressed me at every step of the process. They provided a fair estimate, professional communication and installation, answered all my questions during the process, and cleaned up after they were done. The installation team installed a new gas shut off valve and an expansion tank, in addition to the water heater, and didn’t add on extra charges like some companies. They also insulated the pipes. I’m thankful that everything is now up to code. The plumber explained the purpose of the expansion tank, other companies didn’t even mention one. Both of the people doing the install were highly knowledgeable and efficient. I highly recommend Advanced Water Systems of Coastal NC-VA."

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."

Life Time Solutions is the premiere, full-service water purification and filtration equipment dealer serving commercial and residential customers in the Virginia and Maryland region. We sell, install and service a wide-variety of equipment for nearly any water problem or use. We are an authorized Ionics dealer. Accept cash. Sat & Sun by appointment. Locally Owned & Operated. Financing available.

"I bought an existing home which this product was installed. I could not stand the taste or smell of the water. So I called the company and had them change out the filtering system (charcoal I believe). This cost me $450.00. After giving it some time to work(2 months). There was no change to taste or smell of the water. I turned the system off and the water is fine. So I set an appointment to which they no showed. No call or anything for communication. Its probably because I told them I want a reimbursement of 80%. So I waited 30 miniutes based on the early arrival time to confirm our appointment by text. No response. This is the way we communicated prior and by phone. Which was for 9am. I finally texted again at 5:30 pm and got a response. The manager told me his technician had arrived and nobody was home. Surprisingly, no security cameras pick the technician up on my patio or driveway or road. Not to mention no phone call either. When i texted again at 5:30pm, the manager James was not friendly and offered no resolution. Spend your money somewhere else."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

A good hardness level for drinking water can vary based on personal preferences, but an ideal level is 3.5 to 7 GPG. This means your water isn’t soft or hard. However, some people prefer the “fresh” taste from the minerals in hard water, while others like the smoother, “slippery” texture of soft water.

Water softener life spans range from 10 to 25 years, with most lasting around 15 years on average. After the 10-year mark, you may see your softener’s performance diminish as it progresses in age. Proper water softener maintenance can impact how long your water softener lasts. Likewise, a home with very hard water or a high demand will put more demand on your softener, which in turn shortens its life span.

Hard water isn’t unhealthy. It’s safe to drink, bathe in, and cook with. However, it can make some skin, hair, and scalp problems, such as eczema, worse by affecting the pH balance of your skin and hair. Additionally, some people don’t like the taste of hard water, but it does contain minerals that are important to your overall health, like calcium.

Costs hinge on system type, household size, professional, and complexity, ranging between $800 and $2,500 for complete systems.
