Plumbing Problems Solved Here. Rinnai tankless water heater dealer and installer. Emergency services available.
"Only a week passed. They did a very good job with toilet, kitchen sink was simple cut end off hose and re-connect, bathroom sink faucet leak was fixed. But the new stopper doesn't stay down. It is worse than the old one. I called and Lady said that "We don't guarantee a part that we don't provide." (I had bought official Delta replacement part.) I said, “You didn’t make the part, so why would you guarantee it anyway?” It is the installation that is the problem not the part. Part is not broken. She said they will supply a new part plus charge for repair again. I argued and she had worker call. He said the same thing. I said, but you threw away the package so I can't even return it. He said, “Yeah, it’s in a dumpster somewhere.” And it is not broken. He insisted it was not his problem, they don't guarantee work if they don't supply the part. He will come out and "take a look". Charge would be $178. I have already paid $400 for last visit. Therefore, they do not stand by their work. This could go on and on. I am very unhappy at the attitude by both the service guy and woman that answered the phone. Note also, that original service call, they would not give any estimate before coming out. The first estimate for this routine minor job was $800! All work done in less than an hour. I refused to pay that much for something I could have done myself. So, price was knocked down to $400. Now it appears that they are trying to get the difference back. I really thought he did a very good job with toilet repair. But issue with not standing buy labor is unacceptable. I would not recommend Scanlon Plumbing. I never had anyone charge for correcting their work. And certainly would not recommend a company that was price arrogant, and demeaning. I'm over 70, but not stupid. I called them based on high grade and "recommended" on Angie's list. That seems to be a mistake. Why would Angie's list recommend a company that doesn't stand by their work? If you look at checkmarks, it says NO under guarantee. I rated quality as "C" because of good quality job with toilet (hope it lasts). It would be "F" in all categories if job was just to replace the sink stopper."

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.
