"They removed my old broken water softener & replaced with new one. They did a great job. I only use Flat Irons Plumbing for all my plumbing work. They also recently replaced my old leaking hot water heater & replaced with tankless. I Love it."

"We had a tankless water heater installed. Customer service was fantastic. Lanney and his wife, who own this small business, were so enjoyable to work with. Their price was reasonable. Iâ d highly recommend them. Donâ t look any further you want this family owned business to take care of you. Lillian Gahring"

"Pure Water beat the other contractors on price and what we received as a product. We couldn't be happier with the installation. We now have hot water on demand on the opposite side of the house where it could take 5 min of water running for the water to be hot. Pure Water also installed a water softener and now our hard water is soft! Patrick who did the install was professional, personable, picked up what little mess there was, explained everything once the install was complete. We are so pleased we have them on the hook for a fireplace gas line and will have several bathroom projects going forward. We could not recommend Pure Water Services more. Thank you"

"first jim needem was so professional, caring about my water situation. he immediately called me back and set up a service for a sunday. Ben came and i can not say enough about his patience,professionalism, caring and was so helpful with my situation. He took the time to educate us and help us understand the system. He checked all points of our water in our house. he also had some suggestions for the future which we will do. this company also has a person to extract water thru my insurance for my carpet. He left nothing out. His expertise and honesty was amazing. I hope everyone who reads this will use this company. If there were 20 stars they would definitely get them. I am so thankful for their customer service, and kindness. Thank you Jim and Ben colleen L in Broomfield colorado"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

A water softener removes minerals from your drinking water and can make your house water softer. These softeners are designed to extend the lifetime of your plumbing system while also making water safer and more palatable for drinking. Hard water, which is water with a heavy amount of suspended particles, can also cause hair damage, skin irritation, and buildup in your pipes.

The most effective way to fix hard water in your shower is by installing a whole-home water softening system. This system treats water as it enters your home, removing the minerals that cause hardness before they can reach your shower or any other fixtures. While this is the most comprehensive solution, other methods are often temporary fixes. For a more affordable and shower-specific option, you can install a water-softening showerhead or a shower filter. However, these filters are generally less effective and may not remove all the contaminants that lead to limescale and hard water stains. By implementing a water softening solution, you can expect a reduction in mineral deposits and enjoy the benefits of cleaner-feeling hair and skin.

Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.
