What if you rent
Here in Nevada to we have hard water so much chlorine fluoride all those chemicals.
Looks good other than the fact I wouldn't want a faucet sticking a foot off the side of my house.
Why does the soft water need to return to the meter?
Hope the warranty covers the concrete in a few years when it settles and needs to be replaced on the walk way. It will crack
I can just see the home value plumet slightly with those godawfull conspicuous pipes...
I like Bill's work.
This message is to THIS OLD HOUSE, I am in a domestic violence situation. I live in Elgin, Tx. We have hard water, & we have a watersoftern. I have had our watersofting machine to see if it is doing it job, the water test @ a 2 to 3 grains of hardness. The hardness of the water when the watersoftern is turned off is 18 to 20 grains. My husband has some how figured out how to manipulate the watersoftern, & this is causing severe injuries to my eyes, gums & teeth, ears eardrums, my privates & burned looking skin. Can anyone contact me & see if you can help me with my situation. We I tell him that he is manipulating the watersoftern, he tells me that I have paranoia......please can anyone help
Do softeners remove manganese too or just magnesium and calcium?
Should you leave hard water to your drinking water tap in kitchen as hard water does not taste good
