"My plumbers name was Daniel. He came out within a couple hours and diagnosed the problem within minutes. The next day after he got the part(it was a Sunday when he came out the first time so the stores were closed) he fixed it within minutes! He was very nice and took the time to explain everything to us. 10/10 would use again."

"Repeat customers! Last week we had Andy and Brian over to install a tankless water heater and a filtration system. Our water heater exploded and we were so happy with the septic service they did, we brought them back. Now today they are here replacing ALL the pipes under our house. We couldn't be happier with their approach, honesty and hard work ethic. Next up will be two bathroom remodels. Andy and Brian are basically family now!"

"Honestly, my system was a nightmare. The original system came with the house. Later, a local landscaper did the last well and submersable pump and worked on the system. At that time, the spray was so powerful, with what smelled like swamp water, that it would blow huge plumes of mist into the air rather than spray water on the plants. Everything hit the house and cars staining them a rust color. Heads along the house would literally explode off hitting the eve and sending a powerful jet of water into the fascia board and the attic. Water also soaked the wood fence causing rot.
This is a family business. It's been in operation long enough that I'm shocked I didn't know of them before. Given their work, they should have a wide, and great, reputation. Brad came out to inspect the system. He listened to me, inspected the system, and gave me his recommendations. He called his dad, and verified parts of his plan. Since my system was something of a nightmare, Keith, Brad's father, made an inspection the next day to fine tune their plan. He discussed it with me, provided an estimate of around $400.
Everything planned was perfect for my system, and the estimate lower than expected. They scheduled via Angie's List messages and telephone. They made appointments and when delayed, called me to make sure it was okay with me. They were prompt and professional.
They did the job faster than I expected they could. Now, the sprayers put out a spray of water on the plants. There is no mist being blown back at the house or cars. Nothing hits the house, cars or fence. The lawn and plants are watered. Three zones mean the watering period is shorter. Watching it run, is like looking at a brand new sprinkler system. I almost expect to see a new house too, the difference is so dramatic. I am more pleased than I could have anticipated. The final price of $475 was a bargain for the wonderful result. I highly recommend Professional Sprinkler Systems.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.

If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. 

That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

The main difference between a water softener and a water filter is what they remove from the water. A water softener is specifically designed to remove hard minerals, while a filter removes a wider range of contaminants above a certain size, such as bacteria and other impurities. If your primary goal is to remove minerals, a softener is the best choice. If you want to remove various contaminants for safety or taste, a filter is more suitable. Filters are also typically less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply's specific issues, you may need to install both systems for comprehensive treatment.

The average cost to install a water softener, including the system and labor, is approximately $1,500. However, the total price can range widely from $600 to $6,000. For some complete systems, the cost may be between $800 and $2,500. Labor for the installation typically costs between $150 and $1,000.

The final price is influenced by several factors, including:

  • System type, capacity, and complexity

  • Home size and household water demands

  • Water hardness levels

  • Accessibility of the installation site and the extent of plumbing work required

  • Whether new electrical work is needed

  • The professional hired and any local permit costs
