Answer 1

If you have iron in your water or if your water is too hard you need a water softener.

You get my dad to do it.

-Your incoming water line goes to the water softener first and then the output goes out to the water lines in your house, sinks, water heater etc.

Where: Generally in a utility room or garage

You will need a professional. When they installed ours they had to dig a ditch under the driveway so they could put pipes going to and from the water softener back to where the water comes in at witch is apparently by the front porch. Our softener is all the way in Jo's bathroom!
