"I hired LCRG on Thursday 5 PM to install a water softener/whole house water filtration system. They arrived Friday at 8AM with all the necessary supplies & equipment to complete the install. The crew was very friendly, explaining everything they did & how to operate the system. They were also extremely efficient; gone within two hours of arrive. They better be efficient. They had 5 more installs that day, and it was very hot & humid. Good doing business with a local, totally family run operation, and prices were very competitive; whole house system for little more than others wanted for just a softener. Very small salt tank & they fill it every 3-5 months & check the complete system for a very reasonable fee. Bottom line, we had soft water within 45 minutes-an hour after they finished. All I had to do was run the cold water for 5 minutes and then drain the water heater. Pretty simple and painless. Even paying wasnâ t painful!!ð ¬ð ¬"

"I highly recommend this company! From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. They did an excellent job installing my water softener system and made sure everything was done properly. They took the time to explain the system to me and answered all of my questions. The installation was done efficiently, everything was left clean and neat, and I could tell they genuinely cared about doing quality work. I’m very happy with my new water system and the service I received. If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and professional company for a water softener or water treatment system, I definitely recommend them! Five stars all the way!"

"We dealt directly with Steve. He 100% knows what he's doing. The city hires him for all kinds of things. We checked out quite a few competitors for water softener prices. Really no comparison. We ended up buying a water softener on Craig's List and then purchased the whole house filtration. Steve exceeded our expectations on the installation. YES I would use him again. Very knowledgable and competitive pricing."

"I called many plumbers, and to be honest they did not seem to be professional. Some spoke so fast and furious that I could not understand them--or did I want to deal with that initial problem. Eli called me and sounded like a fresh breath of air. He spoke so calmly and sounded so intelligent with a great amount of actual caring in his voice! He explained everything to me in detail, including the prices and what I could expect. He had me at "hello"!!!!! That's why I hired Eli and I sure am glad I did. Competent and quick."

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.

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.

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time. 

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

Hard water doesn’t hurt, but it might feel more abrasive, especially if you have sensitive skin. It’s also about how your skin feels after bathing. You might feel as though you have a sticky film over your body because you do—it’s all that soapy residue left behind because the hard water can’t rinse it off completely.
