Ellen M.

“Brandon arrived on schedule, diagnosed the issue and called me at work at my request to discuss the options. He proceeded with the agreed upon plan which confirmed that his diagnosis of the cause of the leak was correct. The repairs were completed immediately and the cost was reasonable. Brandon was extremely knowledgeable and professional and I would highly recommend him for any plumbing needs.”

Douglas W.

“A&B Plumbing installed a new water heater. The technician broke everything down so I could understand the issue. He provided several options and was able to install the new heater the same day. Great experience, highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a honest company that does good work.”

Kevin T.

“Needed a leak prevention system installed because my insurance company didn't want to cover me unless I had one installed. I called A&B and explained to them my situation which was time sensitive. They arrived a day later to give me a quote on the specific job and other future projects I may be interested in...

Water Softener FAQ

1. What is a water softener and how does it work?

A water softener is a device that removes minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, from water. These minerals can cause issues like scale buildup in pipes and appliances, as well as make it harder to lather soap. Water softeners typically use a process called ion exchange to remove the minerals. The water passes through a tank filled with resin beads that attract and remove the mineral ions, replacing them with sodium ions.

2. How do I know if I need a water softener?

There are a few signs that you may need a water softener. If you notice scale buildup on faucets and fixtures, soap scum in your shower or bathtub, or if your clothes and dishes are not getting clean, these could be indicators of hard water. You can also have your water tested to determine its hardness level – contact us to learn more about water quality testing services near you.

3. Does a water softener remove all impurities from water?

No, a water softener primarily removes minerals that cause hardness in water. It does not remove other impurities such as chemicals, bacteria, or viruses. If you are concerned about other impurities in your water, you may need additional filtration systems or treatments.

4. Why should I consider installing a water softener?

There are several benefits to having a water softener. First, it can help extend the lifespan of your appliances and plumbing by preventing the buildup of mineral deposits. It can also improve the efficiency of your water heater, as well as reduce soap scum and scale buildup on fixtures and dishes. Additionally, soft water can be gentler on your skin and hair.

5. Can a water softener improve the taste and smell of my water?

While a water softener primarily focuses on removing minerals, it can also help improve the taste and smell of your water. This is because the minerals that can cause unpleasant tastes and odors, such as sulfur or iron, are often removed during the ion exchange process. However, if you have specific concerns about the taste or smell of your water, you may need additional water treatment methods, such as activated carbon filtration.
