Before you book water filtration & softener repair, installation
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Test your water before buying
A test kit or a lab report gives hardness, iron, chlorine and other numbers that decide the equipment. Without it, a pro is guessing at sizing.
Photograph the main line area
Show where the water meter, the main shut-off and the pipe entering the house sit. It helps the pro judge space and the fittings they need.
Check that the main shut-off works
The pro has to close the water to cut in. A shut-off valve that will not turn or leaks is worth telling them about before the visit.
Decide what you want to treat
Decide whether you want every tap treated, or only the drinking tap. A single under-sink unit and a whole-house system are very different jobs.
Know your well or city source
Say whether the water comes from a well or from a city supply. Wells call for a lab test first, and the pro may ask to see it.
Ask what you will maintain
Ask each pro how often the cartridges or salt need attention and who supplies them. It helps to compare the long-term effort as well as the install.
Say where in Union City you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Old Alvarado, Decoto, and Alvarado, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.
