"We are so happy we had The Water Doctors install our Kinetco water softener system in our Shelton Washington home. We put off having a water treatment system when the first company wanted over $8000 for a electric system. The Kinetco system is much less expensive and uses clean water to flush. We have noticed the significant difference already. Shane and one other installer arrived on time and took just about 3 1/2 hours to install with water being secured for only a few minutes. Shane did an awesome job explaining the system and how to take care of it. When all was done there was no mess and fresh clean water in our home."
"I hired Collin with independent plumbing for a full house re-pipe, installation of all my water fixtures as well as a new water heater and water purification system for a remodel I had done on my house. Needless to say Collin is the guy you want for any of your plumbing needs. He got the job done early and came in right on budget. Collin kept his work areas clean and was very professional. I can’t recommend him enough. I will definitely be using no other plumber in the future."
"Vortex Filtration Inc is a excellent company with vast experience & knowledge in conditioning potable well water. I recommend Vortex Filtration Inc to design build and install their patented Vortex water system to solved all well water conditioning issues. My client had a problem for over tens years prior to the installation of the Vortex system. Once installed, the well water in the holding tank was crystal clear. Thanks Vortex!"
"Used HomeAdvisor for first time and found Juhola Inc listed. Water was out on Saturday night so called Mike (owner)Monday am. Mike was here that afternoon and Found the bad wiring on the pvc pipe down to the well pump. Pulled the pump and repaired the wiring and added a buffer so that wouldn't happen again as well as a new control box. I rarely leave any review but wanted to comment on Mike as others had. Mike was very impressive in his fair pricing, Service calls alone in area are $133-$145. I felt the repair pricing was more than fair. I highly recommend checking with Juhola Inc / Mike before you call others if you're in his service area. Outstanding service, quality work and a great guy besides. Give Mike a try, I'm sure you'll agree like I did, these 5.0 reviews are solid and worthy of Mikes business. 1st time I've used Mike, but now will only use Mike for any well issues in the future if needed."

Whether you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.
To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process for you. Regardless of local laws, it is always recommended to hire a licensed professional to ensure the system is sized and installed correctly. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.
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 most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.
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, you can have both a water softener and a water filter. In fact, some manufacturers sell dual water softening and filtration systems that treat hard water and provide clean drinking water. If you’re unsure about what you need or want to discuss your options, reach out to a local water softener installation company.
