Call us at (334) 408-0902 in Phenix City, AL, for highly durable water well drilling rigs.
"They build small portable water well rigs. We purchased one over a year ago but only recently got to use it. The rig works as intended, however the drill stem pipe we purchased with it was not welded properly and it broke loose in the well we were drilling. We lost 5 joints of pipe and the bit. After calling to ask them to replace it, I got no response? I included a pic that showed the weld had not burned in. Very sad I did not expect to be treated that way. We had to reweld the rest of our drill stem and are trying to find a source for more as well as bits that fit? James Watson central Tx P.O. Box 243 Hye Tx 78635 210-279-4259"

"My wife hired these people to service my elderly mother's water heater. She's 83 years old, stubborn, and ridiculously indpendent...so it was difficult enough to get her to agree to us helping out. My intention was to purchase a water heater and have someone install it. However, when it rains...it pours and I while I was handling another life complication...my wife took it upon herself to "make things easier for me" and find a reputable company to do the work. She chose Benjamin Franklin because their vans are everywhere and because "Google had great reviews." Do yourself a favor and read the negative reviews...like this one. These people sent a technician out to my mother's house that quoted my wife $468 to repair a 10 year old, 40 gallon water heater. Go look at how much a new one costs. Talking with my mom, who is fairly frugal and has been around the block a few times, she tried to intervene and advise my wife NOT to pay for this service. She was going to find a cheaper alternative. Apparently, the technician "out talked" my mother, got her to be quiet, and continued the conversation with my wife (who was on the phone, and not in person). My wife paid the money and the technician installed the part, serviced the water heater, and charged our account for the service. But wait! There's more! This "repair" failed to resolve the issue because the pilot light would not ignite on the old water heater (not the problem we reported initially BTW). The technician quoted my wife ANOTHER $800 for a part to fix this and get this...a 2 week delay on part delivery because, forget your old momma taking cold showers. She'll be aiite. WE NEED THESE PROFITS SON! BEN FRANKS NEEDS THEM BEN FRANKS! My wife was hesitant to pay because, thank God, her financial sensitivity meter eventually hit its ridiculously high tolerance, and she started asking questions about the cost. Citing city codes, and parts, and paperwork, and complications, and anything else he could pull out of his Bat-Utility Belt, the technician attempted to manipulate her with a $2500 quote JUST for installing a new water heater. Well sure...$2500 plus the cost of a new water heater vs. $800 for this part and a hassle-free installation? My wife finally decided that that mmmmmmaybe she should talk to my mother and me and figure out the best option. I advised her to send that crook on his way and we decided we'd rather get worked over by a major retailer. At least we would be able to pull out a Karen Card and possibly get some customer service. At a minimum, it's probably not ok to quote someone for a simple repair and then "discover" that they'll need to pay 3x the initial quote for an antiquated appliance that needs replacing. Moral of the story - GO AND READ THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS ON THIS COMPANY ON EVERY WEBSITE. These leeches feed on rich people with deep pockets and don't care about anyone else. Also, please talk to your significant other prior making large purchases. We have plenty of money, but I can think of a better use for freaking almost $500 than slapping a new part on a busted hunk of junk that's going to the side of the road in less than 2 weeks. ***Incoming response to this review: "We're sorry that blah blah blah...we at Benjamin Franklin...blah blah blah...our costs are due to...blah blah blah blah...it is unfortunate that...blah blah blah blah...what was actually quoted to you was...blah blah blah blah...and due to blah blah blah...it would actually cost you BLAH BLAH DANG BLAH." Sorry, but this is trash service and you know it. There are a million companies that can overcharge you and do this same work. If it's all the same, my advice is that you not roll the dice on these people and FIND ***ANY*** OTHER COMPANY."

Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.
"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

Best home water filter or water purifier on earth. Period. Fast, Free shipping to anywhere in the US and the only Berkey dealer to offer frequent flier miles an hotel points for each purchase. See these short videos. Why choose Berkey Filters http://www.berkeywaterhawaii.com/videos/why-choose-berkey-filter What makes a Berkey Better? http://www.berkeywaterhawaii.com/videos/what-makes-berkey-better Which Berkey is for you? http://www.berkeywaterhawaii.com/videos/which-berkey-is-for-you Berkey filters are the gold standard in water purification. They remove bacteria, viruses, pathogens, chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals and other contaminants from our drinking water. They are so powerful they can even take out red food coloring when added to water. Berkey filters are stand-alone systems that require no electrical outlet or water line. You can put them anywhere in an office or your home, and gravity does all the work. You just pour in a pitcher of water from the tap or catchment water. They last 5-10 years or 6,000 gallons for a pair of filters, which come with each Berkey.

The license requirements for water softener installation depend on your location. Some municipalities require that the installer hold a plumbing license, some require a permit and an inspection, but no license for the installer, and some require a permit and a license for the installer. Regardless of the local laws in your area, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed plumber or installer. These pros will install your system properly and have the experience to size the system appropriately. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your installer’s license status.
The cost to install a water softener system is $1,500 on average, ranging between $200 and $6,000. The labor for water softener work typically costs between $150 and $1,000, so you can add that to your equipment costs to get an accurate total. Your price will depend on many factors, including the following:
System capacity
Home size
Water hardness levels
Type of water softener
Presence of electricity in the installation area
Local permit costs
Water softeners are worth the money if you live in an area with hard water. Hard water is safe to drink, but it poses serious threats to your plumbing system. The minerals in hard water will gradually build up on the inside walls of your pipes, reducing water flow to your fixtures. The minerals can also gradually corrode your plumbing system, reduce its lifespan, and increase the risk of leaks. Hard water also makes soap and detergent less effective. Water softener systems can solve all these issues, making them a great investment.
It’s possible to install a water softener yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Water softeners require working with copper pipes and electrical wiring, neither are suitable tasks for most DIYers. Plus, working with water and electricity together is dangerous and could pose a risk to your safety. Water softeners also need to be calibrated so that they don’t make your water too soft, as soft water poses just as many risks as hard water. Overall, it’s well worth hiring a local water softener installer to place your water softener system.
Your water softener size is based on your total household water consumption. In most cases, you can assume the average household member will use around 75 gallons per day. Multiply that by the number of people in your home, then multiply by 10 (for the typical grains per gallon). You’ll get a number in grains that should help roughly size your water softener. However, it’s best to hire a professional to install your system and use more exact numbers, like your exact average water consumption per day and starting water hardness.
