"I spoke to Brianna and she knew exactly what I was looking for. She informed me that her company can do an Assessment of where the cigarette smoke is coming from but they would not necessarily do more than that. She instead, referred us to the right company (EnergyWIze) which just does that. We were very please with the inspection and the report EnergyWize generated for us. I had called many HVAC companies but none of them was able to come close to providing a solution to what we needed. I am grateful that Brianna was honest and did not want to take our money for nothing. Thanks to Environmental Dr. for their referral and honesty."

"We had Rainsoft out in November 2017 to look at our water softener after we noticed the brine tank was nearly full and there was constant runoff down the drain. They were able to come out in a timely manner to take a look at the unit. The tech claims to have "rebuilt" all the controls, but said that the unit needed to have the resin replaced, so I authorized the additional repair. He took the unit away and returned a week or so later to reinstall it. In January, we noticed the same exact problem again - brine tank nearly full and constant runoff down the drain. We called to ask about warranty on the repair at which point we were informed that they only warranty repairs for 30 days and if we wanted someone to come look at the unit again, we'd have to pay the $120 service call fee. Needless to say, we're extremely disappointed in their lack of warranty support for repairs when we're experiencing the identical problem. We attempted to speak with a manager and all we got was a "sorry you feel that way" and the unit is old, how about I sell you a new one? I will also add, that yes, the unit is old (15+ years) and we may very well be at the end of life on it, but then the tech should have informed us of that in November instead of suggesting a $210 repair (this is on top of the $120 service call). We've bypassed the unit and will be looking to remove it. The manager told us, it's yours, you bought it. Disconnect it and put it at the curb if you don't want it any more. His lack of empathy tells me that they probably have to deal with dissatisfied customers quite a bit. I would never recommend Rainsoft as a product nor Rainsoft of Greater Columbus as a company if you're convinced you need a water softener. There are other, more competitive, companies out there and hopefully ones that care more about their customers. Also, we've had them out over the years to service the reverse osmosis system they also sold us. Finally discovered we can get the requisite filters from Amazon for a fraction of the cost and replace them ourselves."

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.
