"The installers arrived on time and promptly installed the softener system, drain line and plumbing. Explained the system, showed us how to walk through the operating menu."
"I got quotes from 4 other companies. Worley's was the only one who looked for and found the water shut off valve behind a shelving unit in my garage.They were very detail oriented. The man who found the turn off valve asked about my water heater. Where was it. He decided that the updated code required a tank to be installed above the water heater. When they did the job of replacing the water line in my front yard, they also put box with a turn off valve in the ground in front of my home. They were very neat and cleaned up after the job was done. All of the men who came here to work were very polite, nice guys."
"First, I want to say how great it was to work with Advanced Water Systems of NC-VA. As a general rule, I always source at least 3 different quotes to see the different products, services and costs for each company. I’m this case I compared Moody’s, Rainsoft, and Advanced for my water softener and whole house filtration system. ADVANCED by FAR exceeded both other companies; performing a full inspection of the applicable plumbing and identifying not only the equipment I needed but customizing the plumbing required to maximize my overall house efficiency. All this with the added cost to come with it. Both Rainsoft and Moody’s sent salesman to our house. ADVANCED sent a plumber. The difference was HUGE. As someone who works with chemistry and water analysis, I was very happy at the technical expertise that Jeremy provided. Our discussion made it easy to see that Advanced was the right company, with the right equipment, cost, and customer service for the job. Also, they offered 0% financing which the other 2 companies did NOT; making a job like this way more affordable for those on a budget. About a week later, 2 plumbers came out to my house at around 0930 and by 1330, were showing me how to use my brand new water softener and whole house filtration unit. They even replaced the plumbing in my crawl space. I was so pleased, I bought them lunch!!! The water quality in the house is now fantastic! My family and I couldn’t be happier! HIGHLY RECOMMEND ADAVANCED WAYER SYSTEMS NC-VA!!!"
"Spoke with Chris about the issues we were having with our water. He provided an abundance of information and options. He scheduled for the install the very next day and we couldn’t be happier with the work and professionalism of Paul, the technician assigned to the job. We would recommend them to anyone when asked. Thanks again Chris."

"Top notch service, quick delivery and installation, and amazing results. I thought my water quality was good until I saw the test results. I had a professionally installed water system for the last ten years so I figured I was good to go, but I wasnâ t. Bobby responded quickly and showed genuine concern for my family and how my water quality could affect them. He recommended a system designed to correct the problem and had it up and running in less than a week. I was very happy with my experience then after having experienced what a proper system could do I was blown away! Water is something we take for granted and if itâ s clear we assume itâ s good, donâ t make the mistake I did. Call Bobby and have your system checked!"
"Greg fixed a leaking faucet, installed a shower insert and repaired some tiles in our upstairs bathroom. I couldnâ t be happier with his work and can highly recommend him. I definitely will call him for any plumbing work I need."
Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.
Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.
The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.
Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.
The main difference between a water softener and a water filter is what they remove from the water. A water softener is specifically designed to remove hard minerals, while a filter removes a wider range of contaminants above a certain size, such as bacteria and other impurities. If your primary goal is to remove minerals, a softener is the best choice. If you want to remove various contaminants for safety or taste, a filter is more suitable. Filters are also typically less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply's specific issues, you may need to install both systems for comprehensive treatment.
While it depends on how complicated the unit and installation is, it takes two to four hours to install a water softener unit, on average. It might take longer if pipes need to be replaced. You should make sure the installation area is clear of any objects that might get in the way before you begin.
