"We built a new home in 2017 and our builder used C&K Plumbing. It was a nightmare from day 1. We paid for 3 wall jets in the master bathroom shower that were $2000 and have never worked properly. The water pressure is low and Jared at C&K could never figure out how to make them work and wouldn't give us a refund so now we have wall "Jets" that basically trickle out water. In addition to that, on the third night we moved into our new home, one of the bathtubs leaked in an upstairs bathroom and ruined portions of our kitchen ceiling drywall. We were told it would be repaired and to date, no one has come out to repair the ceiling drywall. It's been more than 3 years and all we've gotten is empty promises Also, when cleaning out our furnace room we found a copy of the instruction manual to the sump pump C&K Installed. Guess what? They installed a used sump pump that was 17 years old. We found notes on the manual that it had been installed at a different job in 2001 and refurbished with a new switch in 2003. The manufacturing date on the manual was 2000. A 17 year old, refurbished sump pump in a brand new home! We were told all of our home would be brand new. Corner cutting seems to be the way they operate. Check out the photos I uploaded of the instruction manual. Unbelievable. I don't know how this company can justify conducting business this way. We strongly recommend you stay away from C&K Plumbing and find someone who won't cut corners, overcharge and actually knows how their products work. We've never been more dissatisfied with a "professional" services company that we've ever hired."

"This is a follow up to my recent previous post. I should have included it was a Power Vent natural gas water replacement to explain the higher cost for the unit installation. The same make and comparable size model water heater at Lowes was priced over $1000. I had 3 plumbing companies quote on the work, which was done at no cost. Plumbing Works - Rocky was the lowest bidder. One local (to me) company quoted $2900. Another larger firm from Lansing quoted about $250 more than Rocky. Both of those companies were going to put in the make and model they represented versus the current one. One company, Meridian stated they would give me a quote but it would cost $$$ for just doing it, I declined to do that"

"I should have looked online before I agreed to the price. After looking online I learned I overpaid by almost $2000. Later the softener leaked salt water all over my furnaces below in the crawl space. Wolverine refused to admit responsibility. I've had to file an insurance claim for thousands of dollars in damages. I would never use them again and would never recommend them to anyone."

Water treatment & purification system installations and replacements FAQs
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.
