Jason Bolas is one of Bill Howe Plumbing's senior technicians. Jason has extensive experience in tankless water heater installations and repairs as well as the installation and repair of water softeners, whole house water filtration systems and reverse osmosis systems. In our latest "Ask the Experts" interview, we asked Jason questions that he receives most from customers interested in water filtration systems.

Q: How many years have you been in the plumbing industry?

A: I've been in the plumbing industry for 19 years. The first four years of my career I worked in a plumbing supply warehouse, then I started working out in the field. I've been with Bill Howe Plumbing for the last seven years.

Q: How do you determine which type of filtration system a customer needs?

A:  Customers first need to decide what they want. Do you want "water bottle quality" water throughout your house? Or, do you want soft water, free of grittiness. San Diego is notorious for its hard water and is probably the more common system of the two. Both systems serve different functions: water softeners remove the calcium and magnesium that cause hard water and a carbon filtration system removes everything except for calcium and magnesium. Sometimes customers will have both installed.
