Water Softener Installation

Do you often notice that your dishes and glassware have a white film or spots on them after washing? Perhaps you’ve noticed that your skin and hair feel itchy, dry, and dull after a shower. These are all indications that you have hard water at home. Indeed, homes in Ann Arbor often deal with hard water, or water that is full of minerals like calcium and magnesium.

While hard water is not harmful to consume, it can wreak havoc on your appliances and pipes, causing mineral buildup in water heaters, which leads to premature failure. Luckily, there is a solution: water softener installation from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing®. Our expert plumbers will ensure your home’s water is perfectly treated, giving you peace of mind about your plumbing.

How do water softening systems help?

Protect plumbing and appliances by removing hard minerals
Improve the taste of your drinking water
Encourage softer skin and hair after showering
Reduce limescale buildup and soapscum
Keep fixtures looking cleaner longer with white cast

Water softeners use salt as a treatment method, removing mineral agents that can cause buildup in your plumbing and dry out your skin. It’s imperative to regularly maintain your water softener with salt refills. Our plumbers can tell you everything you need to know about water softener installation and maintenance. Contact us today!

Reverse Osmosis Systems

Imagine the peace of mind you’ll enjoy with pure, filtered water right from your faucet, without the need for single-use water bottles or refilling filtered pitchers. With reverse osmosis systems from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing®, you can have just that! If you’re worried about contaminants in your home’s drinking water, RO systems filter down to the micron level, removing any impurity to improve the taste, appearance, and smell of your water.

What can reverse osmosis systems remove?

Dissolved minerals and solids
Organic compounds
Metals
Sediment and particulate matter
Pharmaceuticals
And more!

Reverse osmosis systems purify water by passing it through a semi-permeable membrane. Under pressure, the water molecules are separated from larger contaminants, and through different pre-filtering stages, you’re left with pure water that your whole Ann Arbor home can enjoy. Find out more from our plumbers about what contaminants might be lurking in your tap water.

Iron Filters

Are you tired of those stubborn brown stains in your tub or toilet? They’re likely the result of water with an excessive amount of iron. No matter how much you scrub, you just can’t seem to remove those stains. There’s a better way with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing®. You need iron filters for your home in Ann Arbor.

What are the benefits of installing iron filters?

Improved water quality
Eliminate rust stains
Extend appliance lifespan
Minimize corrosion and clogs in pipes
Reduced cleaning time

Iron filters work to remove dissolved iron in water by oxidizing it into an insoluble form and trapping the iron particles in the filter bed. Similar to a water softener, you’ll need to perform periodic maintenance on iron filters to ensure they continue to function optimally.

Boiler Services in Ann Arbor, MI

When winter settles in across Ann Arbor, you rely on your boiler to keep your home warm and comfortable day after day. Boilers are known for delivering steady, even heat by circulating hot water or steam through radiators, baseboard heaters, or radiant floor systems. Unlike forced-air systems, boilers provide a consistent warmth that many homeowners appreciate during Michigan’s long, cold winters.

If your system isn’t heating evenly, making unusual noises, losing pressure, or showing signs of leaking, it may be time to schedule professional boiler repair. Small issues, like a faulty circulator pump, pressure imbalance, or worn valve, can quickly turn into larger, more expensive problems if left unaddressed. Prompt repairs not only restore comfort but can also improve efficiency and extend the life of your equipment.

For older systems that require frequent service, boiler installation may be the smarter long-term investment. Modern boilers are designed to operate more efficiently and offer improved temperature control. A properly sized and professionally installed unit can help lower energy bills while keeping your home consistently warm.

Our plumbers can answer any questions you have about water treatment solutions like iron filters, water softeners, and more, so you can keep your home’s plumbing running smoothly!

John was easy to work with. He was professional and friendly. We felt very confident of ability and work. We'll definitely use him again. Thanks John for a great job.

Kevin Rowell

A.J., Segio, and Jacob replaced our water line from the meter to the house. These guys know their stuff! They worked quickly and got everything done in less than a day--the only delay was waiting for the inspection. You absolutely need to use Benjamin Franklin plumbing. A.J. (Andrew) with Benjamin Franklin conducted a thorough, professional inspection of the plumbing for a home we are buying in Siloam Springs. He provided a comprehensive, understandable explanation of the entire plumbing system from faucets to sewage and gave us a clear analysis of items needing immediate attention, those that can wait, and those that were functioning well. He followed up with a thorough cost analysis and timeline for repairs. A.J. was extremely courteous, trustworthy, and respectful throughout the entire time. He was very patient in answering all of our questions. We did not hesitate to contract with Benjamin Franklin to make the repairs as suggested. Definitely call them!

Don Peterson was a very polite and informative gentleman. He arrived on time. he answered all my questions and when he wasn’t sure about something he made an appointment for me with someone who’s more knowledgeable on wells. He explained everything very well and taught me more about my home things I didn’t know about. Great job Don thank you 😊

Plumbing FAQs

What routine maintenance should I be doing for my Ann Arbor water heater?

To keep your water heater running smoothly in Ann Arbor, it’s a good idea to flush the tank once a year to clear out sediment, especially if your area has hard water. Check the pressure relief valve, inspect for rust or leaks, and make sure the thermostat is set to a safe temperature (usually around 120°F). Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your unit and keeps your hot water flowing efficiently. For peace of mind, consider scheduling a professional inspection with a local plumber.

How do I know if I need a Ann Arbor plumber for my home's low water pressure?

If your water pressure suddenly drops or only affects certain fixtures in your Ann Arbor home, it could be a sign of a clogged pipe, leak, or a problem with your water supply. Try cleaning faucet aerators first, but if the issue persists, it’s best to call a licensed plumber in Ann Arbor to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.

What should I do to prepare my plumbing for winter in Ann Arbor?

To get your plumbing ready for winter in Ann Arbor, start by insulating exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas like basements and garages.
