Michael and Maria Zollars says: „Arturo F. with Mr. Plumber was quickly dispatched to address our plumbing needs which was an intermittent decrease in water pressure over the past 1-2 years (which I thought was due to SAWS) followed by a sudden loss of water pressure this past weekend. I was thinking the problem was due to a failing pressure regulating valve in our 15 year old home, but Arturo quickly diagnosed the primary problem as an undersized, DIY water softener which was failing. He walked me through the signs and symptoms which included resin residue in the toilet tanks, visual level of resin in the softener, and ultimately the problem being solved when the softener was placed in bypass mode. He performed a water test showing the chlorine level was 3-4 ppm which is higher than recommended for swimming pools and leads to premature water softener problems/failure. Arturo noticed that our sprinkler system branched off the main water line after the pressure reducing valve (PRV), and I confirmed that my system did experience chronic problems with zones not popping up. He suggested branching the sprinkler system before the PRV if replaced. We decided to replace the PRV which was at its life expectancy, move the sprinker line connection, and replace the water softener. We also decided to add a carbon filter to address the elevated chlorine level along with other chemical contaminants in the water supply. Arturo explained everything in detail and provided an excellent, clean installation with attention to every detail. A couple days following, I had a minor question about our new system, and he quickly responded by phone to my email to Mr. Plumber. We could not be more pleased with the timely and professional service provided by Arturo and Mr. Plumber. As an added bonus, our sprinklers are working great...“ Show more
