Common questions

No-Salt Conditioner questions for Ann Arbor, MI

What is the water hardness in Ann Arbor, MI?

Ann Arbor water tests at approximately 10 grains per gallon (GPG). The USGS classifies water above 14 GPG as very hard and above 17.5 GPG as extremely hard — 10 GPG is in the moderately hard range.

How long does no-salt conditioner installation take in Ann Arbor?

A standard no-salt conditioner installation in a Ann Arbor home typically takes two to four hours on-site. Most homes have accessible utility rooms or basements with existing plumbing stub-outs. From first call to system running water, the average lead time is five to seven days. Installations that require new drain lines or copper re-plumbing take longer but are uncommon for straightforward replacements.

Does Aqua Otter offer a warranty on no-salt conditioner in Ann Arbor?
