6 month update: all is going smoothly with water softener! Original review: We wanted to thank Trevor for his amazing help in installing an Eco Twin 2.0 in our home. Our water is night and day better than it was before. I can drink from the tap with no mineral taste. I can wash my hands without a gallon of soap. I can rest easy knowing my home's plumbing is better protected. The price of the full install was very reasonable and Trevor made scheduling easy. From start to finish Trevor was super helpful and easy to work with. He made an initial consult visit to make sure he knew the house layout and all the materials he would need for the install, and then came out a couple of weeks later to install the unit. One thing I liked is that he is also a licensed electrician, and was able to pull wire directly for the unit and he even installed a new, unused outdoor outlet near the unit solely for our convenience and use. This shows an attention to detail and quality that I really appreciated. The install went smoothly and Trevor gave us a nearly one hour long in-person training on all the things we need to know about owning the water softener. He allowed us to record the video which gave us a ton of peace of mind. Within the same day our water was vastly improved. We also received a followup call from Brenda, one of the owners, and she was very helpful and friendly. We are very grateful to Trevor for his time and help and are loving our new system!!! read more

Great job with the water filtering system, 2 years after - everything is going well! They also offer annual maintenance services which is quite helpful. read more

Very satisfied with the install and overall customer service. Brenda and the team are extremely helpful, they listen to all of your questions. Getting a water softener isn't easy, I spent weeks trying to find a good unit. I almost settled for the units you get at homedepot or lowes, but once I came across the Water Hook up I was sold. For one, the customer service, clean install and price! You cannot go wrong As well as, you are supporting a local business read more

This review is long overdue, better late than never! We had our water softener installed back in 2022. To say that it makes a world of difference in our daily lives would be an under statement. Brenda helped us select the proper size based on our household needs. She coordinated scheduling the walkthrough and the installation. I can't for the life of me remember the guy's name that did the installation (bad short term memory lol). I did however manage to take video of his entire post installation instructions (with his permission of course). The day of the installation he arrived on time and was courteous. I had a ton of questions and he took his time answering them thoroughly. Save yourself the trouble and go with The Water Hook Up! We will definitely use them again when we're ready to upgrade to our forever home! read more

I'm honestly perplexed by the 5 star reviews for this company; let me explain why. For reference, I bought the Eco-Twin Whole house system in addition to an under the sink system to have alkaline water. I spent over 5k on all of it and still have to use pumice stones on my toilets and use hard water remover on my surfaces (glass, stone, and fixtures), which I was told I wouldn't need to do. I had my system installed in a new construction home in Dec 2021. Everything went fine for about 6 months and that's when the problems began. In June of 2022 my system had a leak and had to be repaired. Then it worked fine for another 9 months and then had a clog. This is a family owned business, which is why I went with them, but the men who do the labor (father, son, and maybe uncle or grandpa) are extremely rude. Maybe it's because I'm a woman; I'm not sure. But if I have to have my boyfriend here to deal with them then I don't want to be bothered. The last time (March 2023) they blamed me for the clog. It's just a salt based water softener system. I wasn't even sure what I did wrong. I called the wife/mother Brenda and complained. She was nice but didn't seem to care. Overall the company gives mixed instructions on when to add salt, etc., depending on what family member you speak to. I decided to start testing my water and it's hard AGAIN. Which is suspected given how much hard water buildup I'm seeing. This time there is no clog, or leak, and my brine looks "good." I don't even want to deal with the men in the family at this point to tell me the new reason my water is hard. I'm going to scrap this system and look to purchase a different one from another company. Do yourself a favor and buy something better. With the money I spent I could have gotten a much better system and better customer service without the attitude. 2 stars are for the company sending someone out based on their 5 warranty read more

The Water Hook-Up Last month, we purchased the Eco Twin Filter & Softener System with Electronic Clack 6 Cycle Valve from the Water Hook-up. We purchased the softener to replace our outdated/non-working water softener. We purchased the largest unit, which was pricey, but for our purposes worth it. We also had our non-working RO water filter removed. From start to finish the process was effortless. Brenda, the owner did the pre-site review and discussed the pros and cons of the various options available to meet our specific needs. She was very knowledgeable, professional and pleasant to work with. Once we selected the system, she explained the process and scheduled an appointment for installation. We provided the required deposit. Brenda's husband and son installed our system on the appointed day, and they were on time. Before and after installation all of our questions were answered. And, the son provided an instruction manual via phone scan. He also went over the key points of operations to help us fully understand our new system and gave pointers of the salt for the system. He also reiterated what Brenda stated to feel free to call if we had any questions after installation. Clean-up went well. They took away the old system and left no debris of any type. Removal of our old RO water filter was also perfect. It's been a month and I am so pleased with how the system operates and our water quality. The unit is working as stated in the documentation. Additionally, both hot and cold water are very soft and we love the feel of it. The regeneration cycle is surprisingly quiet, the unit is located in our garage. Our old unit we could hear from the garage during its regeneration cycle. Just as the son explained our cold water was soft immediately, but the hot water in the hot water heater needed to cycle through the system. Once that happened over a couple of days there was a very noticeable difference in the feel of our hot water. I won't go through all of the technical specifications of our specific system or the numerous benefits, for that please visit their website and take a look at each system offered. I would highly recommend this company to friends and family members. It was a rare treat to work with a company that exhibit high work ethics. read more

I highly recommend The Water Hook-Up for all your filtration needs. I looked around at multiple places and settled on this business. Brenda, one of the owner, came out to my house for a free consultation and was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my questions and concerns. I purchased the whole house Eco-Twin 2.0 water softener system and a reverse osmosis water filter unit installed under the kitchen sink. I also purchased a Rubbermaid shed to cover the Eco-Twin system and salt container because I had to install this unit on the exterior of the house. 3 technicians came out to perform the installation. They were all prompt, professional and knowledgeable about their systems. After the installation, the technicians went over the overall operation of the 2 units. They were very thorough and patiently answered all of my questions. After a week of using the soft water system, my family noticed that our skins are no longer dry due to hard water, our hair feels softer, our dishes are spotless, the laundry feels better and the broth that my wife makes taste outstanding due to the filtered water from the reverse osmosis system. read more

All staff was courteous and professional. It took about 30 mins to install a reverse osmosis system, and they left me with very clear instructions. They are still wearing masks on request, which we really appreciate. I agree with other reviewers that this business provides honest and transparent service. There was no wait time for an appointment and we received a fair price-- the price of the RO system itself seems to have come down in recent years, and the great service and peace of mind is well worth it. If you're looking for an RO system, this is the team to call! I recommend them to everyone! read more

The Water Hook Up - RO system installed! - Water Purification Services Near Me - Elk Grove, California

As a homeowner, you don't want to be nickle-and-dimed for repairs or installations. I first came across The Water Hookup years ago when I needed some help to troubleshoot our reverse osmosis water filter system. Calvin (one of the owners) came across as someone who I knew we would call back when it came to replace our water softener system. Several months ago, it was time to replace our water softening system so I called the Water Hookup. Although more than 5 years had passed, I was happy to discover that they were as competent, friendly, trustworthy, and reliable as I remember. They are a family-owned business and I would highly recommend their services for anyone who values honesty and integrity. I don't think I can add anymore details about their level of service and going "above and beyond" than what has already been mentioned by other reviewers. I would highly recommend giving them a call! read more

After doing our research and receiving quotes from several companies, we were ready to move forward with a water softening and under sink RO system. Sadly, the Water Hook Up was not willing to come to our home for a pre installation consultation. Rather than helping us find solutions, it felt like Brenda was only making excuses. Because of this we will be moving in a different direction. If looking into this company, please be cautious as it seems like they are not willing to put in the extra effort for their customers. read more

Quality work with excellent communication. Brenda and team did a clean install on the Lrg Softner and Reverse Osmosis system. Say goodbye to bottle water. read more

The Water Hook Up - Water Softner - Water Purification Services Near Me - Elk Grove, California

We moved recently and realized that the water in our area was very hard. We read about this before we moved in so we did some research and it seemed like this company is very reputable in the area so we decided to give them a call. Family business, very professional, super responsive. They are very patient with explaining how it all works. Will almost always pick up the phone or get back to you very quickly. On the date of install, there was an issue with how our water pipes were labeled by the house, not their fault, but the install went longer than expected but they were able to fix it all up and get it running perfectly. Very happy overall. The water tastes much better, skin is much softer, showers are much nicer. They are very clear about what the next steps of maintenance would be and it does not seem so arduous. Would recommend highly. read more

Brenda was very helpful in answering all of my questions. I told her I'm not sure where is my main water pipe and she looked around and showed me where they will drill. On the day of the installation, Calvin and his guy showed up on time. After an hour or so, they told me they drilled the wrong side of the garage (this is the same place that Brenda showed me) because the water main pipe was on the other side. They finished installing at the correct side, but they did a bad job in filling the holes that they drilled wrong. I wished they confirmed the correct location before drilling two big holes through my wall and be more prepare to bring their own ladder. They used my ladder without asking for a permission and left a lot of muds on my new ladder and on my door sensor. read more

I could not be more pleased with Brenda and The Water Hook-up! We moved into our home and found out it was a hard water town - and with all my family's sensitive skin - we knew a water softener was necessary. After talking with Brenda, I felt no pressure to buy, but with her friendly and informative style, we knew The Water Hook-Up was our company. Also we were stoked to support local! If you have any question - don't hesitate - I'm sure she would make you feel as comfortable as I was. - Rich C (Elk Grove, Ca) read more

After researching several vendors for a whole house water filtration system, we settled on The Water Hook-Up for the system and the install. The reasons we choose them is that: 1) The people at The Water Hook-Up are professional, knowledgeable, open and honest about costs, and product features. Someone ALWAYS promptly answered the phone over the 2-week period when I called them daily with questions about pricing/features/options/long term costs etc. Brenda, who answered the calls, always had the answer, or researched my question(s) and promptly got back to me. This was not the case with several other vendors who were hesitant to respond, or who gave sales orientated responses (trying to up-sell me with stuff I didn't want or didn't ask for). Some took days to respond and some didn't respond at all or my calls went to repeatedly to voice mail. 2) Their products are high quality name brand and competitively priced, especially the long-term replacement/renew costs. Every water treatment system needs to have the filter media replaced, most at 10 years, and The Water Hook-Up had significantly lower long-term costs than any of the other vendors I spoke with. Not just a bit lower, but VERY much lower! I was stunned that other vendors essentially wanted to charge essentially 2/3 cost of a new system to replace the media! And most vendors were very vague about that and I had to continuously asked questions to pin them down on the costs. Not so with the Water Hook-Up, they were upfront and reasonable on the costs. 3) Installation was a breeze and the whole process was smooth and I had my system in two weeks. The install was done professionally and took less than 2 hours, and they even added a controller head that would back flush the filtration media by gallons used instead of by a fixed number of days. They also added about 15 feet of flex pipe (at no additional cost) so that I could route the flushed water onto my plants instead of just down the driveway to the street. 4) I have had the system for about 5 weeks, and it works as it should. Our water (for drinking, cooking, and bathing) is now chlorine free, and we love it! They even have a veterans discount! In Summary: After 30 plus years of home ownership, I have dealt with my share of vendors and contractors and learned a few things in the process. Get multiple estimates, research the company and product and go with the the most professional, reasonable, and down to earth people you can afford. If those people also have the lowest cost overall, then you are a double winner! You get to deal with nice people and save money too. read more

The were great! Great communication and provided on time service. Trustworthy, clean, punctual and friendly Michelle read more

Excellent experience throughout the process! Brenda was very knowledgeable and so helpful which was basically the deciding factor to go with The Water Hook-Up. Family owned business, Calvin and his 2 sons came and were very professional and did an awesome job. I highly recommend them. read more

Really? Could every company be like The Water Hook Up? This company gets 5 stars in every area. Customer service, communication, quality of product- everything. I'd give more stars if I could. They answered every question I had. We're patient and went above and beyond to do a quality job. I worked with Nick and Brenda and I wish all my home improvement interactions were this positive. They did everything I asked for and treated my home like it was theirs. I had called several places before Water Hook Up to get estimates. No one came close to their overall package. At all. I don't post many reviews. You have to earn it with me. They earned it. Don't make the mistake of going anywhere else. read more

We love The Water Hook up ! Prompt, reliable and caring! We've enjoyed our whole house osmosis system and drinking water system since 2020. Yearly they inspect, service and provide filter changes, plus are always available for any questions, concerns or needs we may have at any time. If you're looking to add or upgrade consider using their service, we highly recommend them! read more

Extremely happy with The Water Hook-Up! Brenda was super helpful explaining what products they offered and what the benefits were. We had the eco-twin water softener installed and it was one of the quickest install I've seen. Calvin & another gentleman (I can't recall his name) were very professional! They both arrived 10 minutes early & were off to their next appointment in less than 2 hours. They communicated when they had to shut off the water, installed the equipment exactly where I asked & cleaned up after themselves. They were also open to answering my questions as they were performing the install which probably was slowing them down a bit. I definitely recommend the Water Hook-Up for any of your water filtration needs. read more

Highly recommend The Water Hoop-up. My neighbor purchased the softener from them also. They are very professional!!

Brenda thoroughly explained the benefits of having a water softener. Installation was done quickly and neatly. The overview provided was plain and easily understood. I can definitely feel the difference with the water: no more hard water stains, laundry is cleaner, and skin feels amazing! If you live in Elk Grove, don't hesitate to call The Water Hook-Up because they are the real deal! Very knowledgeable, great customer service, and locally owned. read more

We spoke with Brenda to have our water softener installed last year. Very quick and professional installation. Brenda was able to answer all our questions and the installation team was very accommodating to our needs. I highly recommend them. read more

This company installed and has been servicing my water treatment system for over 10 years. A terrific family-owned local business! They are so responsive to my needs and always here on time for service. I love my water quality! read more

We had a water softener installed last year and have had no complaints about our water quality since then. Installation was fast and painless, and Brenda and Calvin were both very knowledgeable and helpful. read more

Great local business. Brenda answered all our questions, and was very knowledgeable about the unit. The service is what made us hire a local company, rather than a big store. read more

Brenda was very helpful when we first approached The Water Hook-Up, explaining in detail the different systems and components of her water softener/treatment system(s). We purchase one at our new home in 2019 with the Charcoal Filter system included. We liked her excellent service and product so much, that we bought a second system for our son's home. Brenda is always available to answer any follow-up questions, we strongly recommend The Water Hook-up as the company to purchase water softener/treatment systems. Best of all, in addition to the great service, her products are reasonably priced (compared to other vendors), which really made the buying decision a no brainer. Again, strongly recommend The Water Hook-Up for all your water softener/treatment needs! read more

Purchased a whole house filter and softener from The Water Hook-Up and cannot be more pleased with the products and service. From start to finish, Brenda and Calvin were extremely informative and professional. Our water has never been so clean and soft. Without hesitation, I HIGHLY recommend The Water Hook-Up. Use them...you won't be disappointed. read more

Excellent service! Professional, on time, done right the first time. Good people and good value.

Great product and service from the Water Hook-Up. Living in EG, a water softener is a must. We've had our softener for a year now with no issues. Reasonable pricing as well! Highly recommended if you're in need of a new water treatment system for your home! read more

I got a water softener and whole house filtration system installed in 2018 from the water hook up. I noticed in the summer of 2019 that I had to go out almost everyday and reset the GFCI switch so that the system would work. I sent an email to Brenda and she responded quickly and told us that we're close to needing an annual service and sent over her husband to check out the system and find out what was wrong. It turned out that the outlet that was installed was a faulty outlet and it needed to be replaced. They wanted to charge a service fee for this but he decided to waive the fee after we made a big deal about being charged for something that wasn't our fault. It wasn't even a year into the system and I was having issues. The outlet was replaced and it's been working ever since. Fast forward a little and I emailed them on March 2020 to try to set up an appointment for a annual service and no response from Brenda. I called them and left a message around June to try to set up an appointment for a service and received no call back. Brenda must still be bitter about not getting paid for replacing a faulty outlet that they installed. Why not be angry at the company you got the outlet from? All I know is that my system hasn't been serviced in quite some time and now I have to find someone else to do it. I should've gotten my water softener and filtration system from Costco. Better customer service! Update 8/4: I just received a call from Brenda and she was apologetic for what happened. She didn't know what happened to my email or voicemail message that I left but assured me that she wasn't ignoring me. I'm not due for a service until September. She said she'll email me at the end of this month to remind me of when the service is due. After the service is done then I'll update my review again to reflect the service that this company provided. Update 9/1/2020 Brenda came over today and performed an annual service. She arrived on time, tested my water and adjusted my softener. Thank you for your help. Five stars! read more

We are so pleased with our Water Hook-Up system. We had it installed a year ago. We really noticed the improved taste of our water and the lack of mineral deposits. The installation and service is professional. We highly recommend Water Hook-Up. read more

Successful connect with Company. Very helpful with information given. I appreciate the concern and their response. Thank you Brenda

Both Brenda and Trevor were extremely knowledgeable in explaining the product we purchased and had installed. They were reliable and attentive to our needs of replacing our system. I would definitely recommend the Water Hook-Up. read more

Recently bought a home with an existing water system. I had no info other than the Water Hook-Up sticker on the unit so I called the number and spoke with Brenda. Brenda answers very quickly and was very helpful. She looked up the system by address and was able to explain all sorts of info and answer all my questions -- from system specs, to service history, rec'd maintenance, etc. She even explained some of the features, scheduled me for an annual service check-up, and signed me up for a service reminder email list. Very knowledgeable, professional, and organized, having this as a first impression instills a lot of confidence in customers. Thanks for the outstanding service, Brenda! read more

The water hook-up did a great job at installing my new water filtration system. Brenda came out same day to provide a very reasonable quote and was able to schedule an installation a week later. Calvin came to install the system and he went above and beyond to make sure it was done correctly. I will absolutely recommend everyone to use the water hook-up. read more

Update 1/18/2017 Our softener is doing us JUST fine. We had an issue and thought it wasnt working, but they came over to diagnose and it was just the particles in the water that caused build up. Meaning the softener was doing its part of the job, but with new construction around the area, other particles are bound to get in the water. They assured us this would diminish as the construction dies down. Other than that, we just have to really be good and wiping up after so those particles dont build up. They are WAY easier to clean than hard water!!. Review 12/15/2016 *Installation/Service* So far so good! As prior reviews mentioned their service is outstanding. Install was done even earlier than expected. Calvin knows his craft. Quick to answer and full of knowledge. I did SO much research. Initially i was going to buy a softener online, and have a nearby plumber install. However i came to the realization of a few things: 1. Water is an ESSENTIAL resource. THUS why would i have a plumber that doesnt know the product well? 2. If im going to spend a chunk of change on a product online, why not also pay a good price for someone that KNOWS the product to install it? (Wouldnt be able to if bought online.) Therefore, i contemplated and realized that if we are going to pay a good amount for a softener, it should also be installed by a professional, someone whos craft IS water softeners. Not a plumber who just understands the concept. Someone who has BEEN doing this for years. We are so happy we got a softener in Elk Grove. The water is ridiculously hard. We were in our new home only for a week and you can already see the hard water stains! disgusting. We could even taste the hard water when brushing our teeth. ew. Now that we have a softener, its WORLDS different. I highly suggest you get one if you live in Elk Grove. I will update my review in a few months/to a year to rate the product quality. But so far so good! read more

Update. One of my two under sink filters was flowing very slowly. They came out and replaced the holding tank. So much better! Thanks for standing behind your products! read more

We just put in a Reverse Osmosis System under our kitchen sink. We are so very happy with the system and service we received. Brenda was very helpful and informative about the system over the phone and Calvin was fantastic as well. Calvin arrived on time, very professional, did great work! We expected the system to take up all of the space under our sink but it fit great, and there was plenty of room for our other items to fit. LOVE IT! I highly recommend The Water Hook-Up! Thank you Brenda and Calvin read more

I highly recommend this company and its products. We moved into a house that had an existing water softener and it stopped working a few months later. We tried several places trying to fix or replace it and could not find anyone willing to do the work until the Water Hook-Up. They are knowledgeable, efficient, and reliable. They gave us a run down of our options and their pros and cons, installed it seamlessly and we have enjoyed soft water with no issue for about a year now. They even follow up with reminders for our service appointments to ensure that everything is working well. Their after sale customer service is amazing. We could not be more pleased with our experience. read more
