"On Wednesday morning I woke up to water in my basement due to a leaky gauge. I called Agua Well and Pump and they told me they could try to get out that day but for sure the next day. The woman that answered the phone gave me her cell phone number so I could forward a video of the problem. About 4 hours later, I received a call that they would be at my house in 5 - 10 minutes. I left work and by the time I got home, they were there. The service technician, Chad explained everything to me and gave me his recommendation to replace the pressure tank due to the gauge leaking and the age of my tank. I went back to work and the job was completed by the time I got done for the day. Excellent communication and customer service!"
"Called up Mike in the afternoon regarding my leaking well pressure tank and he couldn't have been nicer or more accomodating! He was able to make it out bright and early the very next morning to replace everything. Mike and his son were very professional and courteous. Explained everything in laymans terms. Very timely and were able to finish everything in an hours time. Cleaned up everything, with nary a trace that they had been here. Will definitely use in future for any of our well needs. Highly recommend!!"
"Rick S was our plumber and he explained everything up front. He was on time courteous and respectful of our house. He has 30 years of experience which made me feel comfortable. I received emails as to his arrival. The job was well done and done quickly. I highly recommend this plumbing company and this service plumber!!"
"Very efficient and was able to get our water heater replaced in a timely manner. Was on-site on time and replacement done in 2 hours or so. Great crew that did the work. Would definitely recommend."
"Each job was done professionally. The tub faucet was over 25 years old and he knew where to go to get the replacement parts to get it fixed. He really knows what he's doing. The water heater he picked out for us is top of the line. We are very grateful for the fine service we got."
"I contacted Jim from Integrity Plumbing LLC to replace a leaking water pipe in the basement. From the first call to him through the job finished, Jim was professional and personable. I was impressed by Jim's prompt replies to my texts and questions. That kind of customer service is always important and very welcomed . Jim took the time to explain the process and use of materials. Going forward, I would contact Jim for other job."
"I was very impressed with Tyler and Matthias. They worked efficiently and left the basement clean when they finished. Tyler explained everything they did when finished."
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.
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.
To get utilities set up on a property, you first have to contact the local department of planning to determine whether your property is able to connect to public utilities. From there, you can work with a structural engineer and/or a building contractor to design the layout of utility lines on the property. The pros will need this information as they begin securing building permits before they can start adding lines.
If your property isn’t able to connect to public utilities, you’ll need to consider working with pros to develop a comfortable off-grid home that will meet your needs.
Water softeners have many benefits. The most important one is converting previously hard water—water with too many minerals—to more usable, easier water. When we say easier water, we mean water that’s easier to digest, less harsh on skin and clothes, and builds up less in the water system. Softer water may lead to lower energy costs and will extend the lifespan of all appliances that use water.
A tankless water heater should be at least 10 feet away from a water softener, although the pros you hire for water softener installation can help you determine the correct distance. These two units need to have some distance between them to prevent hot water from the tankless water heater from flowing backward into the water softener when it runs a regeneration cycle.
