We are a small family owned business that provides quality water treatment equipment with low prices due to no overhead. I have been a plumber for over 24 years and have plenty of experience in this field. I am very knowledgeable about what kind of system you will need to get the kind or water quality you expect for your home. Water treatment is very important to me and I feel that every home should have good clean quality drinkable water from all the Taps in the house.
"I am so glad that I met Kristie and Kevin! Having relocated from Europe in a brand new house left me wondering how I could find the right company to install those two equipments in my new house without making mistake. From the very beginning Kristie was awesome, she provided me with tons of information, during few days I took to make the decision she was always available to answer all my questions (and I had quite a few). Once I gave it a go, that was fast, Kevin arrived home (with a truck I die for) and did all the installation. A real pro. When Kristie did the quotation over the phone, few things required extra work from Kevin, the water softener required an electrical plug that was not readily available and the evacuation was on the other side of the garage; regarding the reverse osmosis, the fridge being opposite from the sink, again it took quite some time to hook it so Kevin had to come back a second time to finish all the work. All this was done with no surcharge. (And the second time I had the pleasure to meet Kristie). Kristie and Kevin are reliable, they keep their word and things are straightforward. I wish all installations/contractors could do business the way they do. They deliver what they promised, it is as simple as that and they are super friendly. I highly recommend them, the whole experience is perfect, do not look further for water services."

"Horrible, the worker, because I don’t believe he was a plumber, he was in the phone the whole time asking what to do. I’d like to be able to show a picture of the absolute atrocity he left me with. I am having a master plumber repair this sorry excuse for an installation. I will be sure to tell everyone I know never to use this company. They seem to do fine with water softeners but actual plumbing, NO"

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.
