"I had a whole house water softener installed and I am extremely happy with the entire experience. Scott gave me a great price, half of what Culligan charged me. The installers, Brian and Thomas did an outstanding job with the install. They hid the pipes neatly and were very careful and respectful of my home. They explained everything in detail and answered all our questions. This is a great company to work with!"

"I have a tankless water heater that was giving an error code and i had no hot water! The tech that came out was very nice and knowledgeable. Im glad to report i now have hot water again. As a side note I talked with the tech about water treatment options and a RO system and as long as my husband agrees I will be having them install both items!!"

"Service Flow Plumbing did an excellent job flushing my tankless water heater at a very reasonable cost. Rose provided outstanding customer service from start to finish, and Andrew—the technician who performed the flushing—was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and sure to explain everything clearly. The whole process was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend their team!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Joshua at Diamond House, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, he demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and excellent customer service. My pipes were old, corroded, and causing issues in almost every part of my house from faucets to my water heater and water pressure. When I reached out for a repiping project, they responded quickly and scheduled an in-home consultation right away. Their team was punctual, arriving exactly when they said they would. Joshua walked me through the process of replacing my aging pipes and even gave me a few options that fit my budget. If any unexpected issues came up (as they sometimes do with older homes), he discussed them with me before proceeding. This level of communication gave me peace of mind. Although repiping is a significant investment, I felt that their pricing was fair for the high level of service I received. The long-term benefits of upgraded plumbing have already made a difference in my water pressure and quality. They also provided a warranty on all of their work and included yearly maintenance on my water heater and water filter/descaler. Diamond House Plumbing exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of repiping or other plumbing work."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The primary difference between a water softener and a water filter lies in what they remove from the water. A water softener is designed to remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. In contrast, a water filter has a broader effect, removing various contaminants above a certain size, which can include bacteria and other impurities.

To decide which you need, consider your goal. If you want to eliminate hard minerals, choose a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, a filter is the better option. Filters are also generally less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply, you may need to install both for comprehensive treatment.

A good hardness level for drinking water can vary based on personal preferences, but an ideal level is 3.5 to 7 GPG. This means your water isn’t soft or hard. However, some people prefer the “fresh” taste from the minerals in hard water, while others like the smoother, “slippery” texture of soft water.

To get utilities set up on a property, you first have to contact the local department of planning to determine whether your property is able to connect to public utilities. From there, you can work with a structural engineer and/or a building contractor to design the layout of utility lines on the property. The pros will need this information as they begin securing building permits before they can start adding lines.

If your property isn’t able to connect to public utilities, you’ll need to consider working with pros to develop a comfortable off-grid home that will meet your needs.

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

Experts recommend that you put two to four bags of potassium chloride in your water softener every month. This amount depends on how much is in the bag (40 pounds is most common) and what your water softener manufacturer recommends. For more specific advice, talk to a water softener pro in your area and read the manual that came with your system.
