"Better than expected - at first we thought the washer had died, it was just humming and stuck at the end of the fill cycle.  I was trying to figure out if I could confirm exactly what was wrong with that, when my wife was going to make some coffee and she figured our we didn't have any water.  The company that had dug the well and installed the pump was located just 2 miles from here but they had closed years ago, so I went to Angies List to look.  Selected Aqua because they generally had good reviews and they were only about 15 miles away.    It was a good choice because less than six hours from the time we found no water 'till the new pump was installed.
We never had a new pump installed, regardless who does it and how efficient they are, it will be a pain. The pump company has to chlorinate the well and you can't use it for at least 8 hours, so we ended up getting a hotel room for the night.  Then you have to run the well to get the high levels of chlorine out, it took over 5 hours.  You also probably will want to take all the aerators off your faucets for a while - the pump removal, chlorination, and disruption caused all sorts of fine grit that got into the house pipes (we did flush the toilets before the chlorine was out and before I brought the filters and softeners back on line)  Removing them in advance would be easier than cleaning the grit out of the aerator screens.
All in all, I can't complain.  I suspect I could have gotten a better price - had I waited until Monday and did some shopping but then we would have been disrupted during the work week.   I gave them a B on price - based on the last estimate i got I was expecting 1500 give or take...  I also only gave them a B on quality because of my read of the warranty.  I reviewed the manual for the pump and it read something like for 18 month from manufacture date or 1 year from installation, whichever comes 1st.   That just struck me as strange.  It sounded like the pump could actually have no warranty if it was manufactured 18 months ago.  Maybe I misread it but that was my 1st impression and it didn't inspire confidence.   I'm hoping it will be good for another 30+ years.

"We had a fantastic experience with Wisconsin Well & Water Systems. I initially found this company through Home Advisor and submitted a request for a quote. Within hours I heard back and had an appointment scheduled that worked with my schedule; other local companies took days to return my calls. Bruce goes out of his way to help his clients learn so they can make informed decisions about their well systems. Our well dated back to 1964. Initially, I thought the job would be smaller, possibly replacing the pressure tank. As Bruce spent time up front investigating our situation and providing options, the job grew but I never felt pressured. Bruce is personable and earned my trust through all the time he invested before we even made a deposit. He and his crew went above and beyond my expectations to schedule at a time that was convenient for me, complete the work quickly, and to the highest quality. Our water tastes better than it has in years, plus the water pressure is great! I really appreciated the hard work and highly recommend this company."

We had our water heater go out last week.  We noticed it when we woke up to take showers before work.  I called a few places and ultimately chose to go with Harker because the receptionist told me they would be able to come out and assess the heater and replace it the same day.  Our water heater is about 7 years old, so we figured there would be a good chance that it would cost the same amount the replace the water heater as to just fix the older one, so that is why I verified with her that they could fix it the same day.

 

We have a new rescue dog that is not good around men, so my SO came home from work (I had already taken the day off work for this) and she took the dog away from the house so we didn?t disturb the men while they worked.  As we expected, there were a few parts that were bad on the water heater and the cost would be similar to repair or to replace.  He was done looking at the water around 2:00 and he told me someone would call me for a quote.  I was confused as I was under the impression that they would replace it that same day per the lady on the phone.  Apparently, that was not the case.  This guy wasn?t even the guy who would replace the unit, the guy who would replace the unit was busy and they didn?t have a replacement unit. I was very frustrated and mad?I chose Harker because I was told they could do it all in one day or we both wouldn?t have taken off work.  I could have just let my dog outside for a little while for him to look at the water heater.  I paid roughly $120 for this diagnostic test.

 

We then called to speak with a manager at Harker.  They tried to get someone to come back out that night and replace the water heater but were unable to.  They did have someone sent out first thing the next morning and took about $50 off the service call, which was appreciated but didn?t cover the amount of money we lost at work for missing part of both days.  This all could have been avoided by having their receptionist give accurate information.  There are a ton of places in Madison I could have called to have my water heater replaced and I chose Harker because I was told they could do it that same day and if they couldn't have replaced it that day, they should have said so and I would have made other arrangements. 



Update to Harkers repsonse:

At no time did they ever offer to have the heater replaced that evening for overtime rate or we would have easily paid it instead of taking more time off work.  We were told that they could try to get someone out that night but were unable to.  The only reason we okay'd them to come back the next morning is we needed it replaced as soon as possible.  We did not call later in the day-- it was still in the morning when we called.  And, obviously we know that you cannot carry all kinds of equipment around with you, but I was told that it would be replaced that night, so that is the fault of your receptionist to give me misinformation. They will try to write this so they sound like this was our fault for not knowing that they don't carry all the equipment, need licensed plumbers, etc., but we know exactly what was told to us on the phone and exactly how the situationw as handled and it was handled poorly.  We stand by our original reivew and will choose to use another company in the future.

"Our water heater quit on a Saturday. Although there was not an emergency service available to replace the heater before Monday, a technician did return my call and thoroughly and patiently discussed the symptoms and helped verify that we had safely turned off the gas and power. He arranged for a visit early Monday, and our water heater was replaced the next day.
We had a different installer for the water heater that died. We much preferred the attitude and efficiency of Landmark Services compared to our previous installer. We will continue to call on them for maintenance and repair if needed.

"I called at 10am, the owner of the company arrived shortly after 11 and was done by noon! I could not be happier. He explained the typical cause of kitchen blockages (dying garbage disposals), and scheduled me for a replacement 4 days later. When I suggested going with a more expensive/ powerful model, he declined the opportunity to upsell. He also took time to clean up the dirty water splashes under the sink, even when I told him not to bother. Also, my dogs liked him."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

No, a water descaler won't descale pipes. The charged water running through the pipes may very slowly dissolve mineral deposits and hold them inside the water, but it's a very gradual process. If your pipes do need descaling, it's much better to get a local plumber to descale your pipes.

If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. 

That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

If your ‘do isn’t doing what you want it to do despite using good hair care products, hard water might be to blame. Since hard water can’t rinse soap off as well as soft water can, your hair might grow limp because of the shampoo and conditioner residue that’s left behind. If you color your hair, you might see it fade more quickly or even turn a different shade as the dye reacts with the minerals in the water. You might also experience an itchy scalp, thanks to the dryness that comes from bathing in the hard water.

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.
