"I couldn't be happier. David came to the rescue for our seasonal cottage after the pipes froze and burst over the winter. It was a disaster. David skillfully repaired multiple pipe breaks under the floors and various bathroom fixtures that were damaged. Not only did he do great work, he's a very kind person. Patient and communicative. I wish I could hire him for all my plumbing needs! I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone"

"Culligan had a flyer in the local newspaper advertising free inspection of water treatment equipment and for additional $39.95 would clean and adjust equipment. I had three units needing inspection and cleaning including a tannin softener, iron softener and reverse osmosis system. The technician looked at my equipment and said he couldn’t clean due to age of units. He even argued that I didn’t have an iron softener. He quoted me $6,000.00 to replace equipment. They later sent me a bill for $39.95. I called to explain no service occurred and visit was really a sales call. I pointed out their flyer advertising free inspection. I waited for return call to discuss further but instead received another bill, this time with a $5.00 late fee added. I cleaned and changed my osmosis filters myself. Flyer feels fraudulent as it was really a sales call and not maintenance. My equipment is now operating beautifully."

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.
