"Everything than can go wrong, has gone wrong with this company. None of their technicians know how to diagnose issues so their go to is to sell you a new unit. They once told me I needed a new sump pump for 3000 dollars, only for another company tell me I only needed a 250 dollar switch. This is after I had already bought a new furnace from four seasons a year prior. They clearly only care about selling you new equipment. Against my better judgement, I called them to service my AC as it stopped working during 100 degree weather. They tell me I need a new one. They took their time coming out to me during this heatwave and then are unable to install it because the previous technician misdiagnosed the issue. A BRAND NEW UNIT IS NOT WORKING FROM THEM. And they left without finishing the job, I am now sleeping in a near 90 degree house with 2 seniors and a dog that just had surgery. This company is soulless."

At 8 am the next day, two men arrived. My pump was replaced with higher grade piping, couplers, and new wiring.

"I had very good experience with One Stop Pros a few years ago when I had a frozen water pipe so when I recently began having trouble with some toilets and a bathroom faucet, I called them again. I could have called a handyman for this work but I thought there might have been a bigger problem and wanted it done right. They sent someone out within a week and the guy told me I needed to replace the toilets and faucet. He gave me a quote for $1,025 to replace three toilets and two bathroom faucets. I scheduled the work for a few weeks later. When he was about to install the last toilet, he told me he just received a call from his office and would need to come back to install the faucets another day because he had to go to another customer who had a flooded basement. He said he would be back three days later to install my faucets. While inconvenient for me, I understood that the other job was an emergency. When he never returned as promised, I emailed the company to express my displeasure and to let them know I would find someone else to install the faucets. I immediately received an email with an apology and a promise to call me the next morning to arrange a time that week. I received a call the next morning and we set a new appointment for two days later. Again, no one showed up or called. I wouldn’t trust this company again."

FAQs for water treatment & purification system installation and replacement projects in Crystal Lake, IL
Water softeners consist of three main components: a mineral tank, a brine tank, and a control valve. In some smaller units, the mineral tank and brine tank are combined into one cabinet.
Professionals install whole-home systems at the point of entry of the main water line. Smaller units are installed under sinks or near a washer—these units only soften the water for that fixture, not the entire home.
Mineral Tank: Hard water passes into the mineral tank through resin beads, and an ion exchange occurs. Magnesium and calcium ions are exchanged for sodium or potassium ions from the brine tank.
Brine Tank: The brine tank contains sodium or potassium to recharge the resin.
Control Valve: The control valve determines when to clean the resin beads.
Choosing between a salt-based or potassium-based water softener depends on your priorities. Salt-based systems effectively remove hard-water minerals, regenerate efficiently, and are cost-effective. However, they may not be ideal for individuals on low-sodium diets. Potassium-based systems neutralize minerals without removing them and regenerate more frequently. They are more expensive but offer a healthier and more environmentally friendly option. If sodium levels are a concern and cost isn't a major factor, a potassium system may be the better choice.
To calculate your water softener's capacity, determine your grains per gallon (GPG) number by:
Multiplying the number of people in your home by 90. The average number of gallons used per person for washing, drinking, and cooking ranges from 80 to 100 gallons per day.
Multiplying that result by the hardness of your water. The average grains per gallon in the United States is 10 but can range from 0 to 17. You can find your GPG number by purchasing an at-home water testing kit.
Installing a water softener takes between two to four hours on average. The exact duration depends on the complexity of the unit and whether additional plumbing or electrical work is required. If modifications to existing pipes are necessary, installation may take longer. Preparing the installation area by clearing any obstructions can help streamline the process.
Water softeners can last up to 25 years with proper maintenance and care. The lifespan depends on the type and quality of the unit you choose. Single-tank electric water softeners may last around 12 years, while higher-quality models tend to last longer. Regular maintenance, such as routine inspections and timely replacement of salts or potassium, helps extend the life of your system. Most water softeners require minimal repairs over their lifespan.
