"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!"

"Steve and his team were amazing. I cannot recommend them enough. From the initial evaluation, Steve was honest about my system. He quickly identified those portions of the system that were functioning and not functioning. Steve and the team check the functioning aspects of the system to ensure they were functioning, would last and not require replacement. I NEVER felt like I was being up-sold or taken advantage. I cannot recommend Steve and the team at Filtration Direct enough for any issue you maybe having with your water. His team is honest, respectable and very professional. Not to mention the work they did was top notch. Thank You"

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

If your ‘do isn’t doing what you want it to do despite using good hair care products, hard water might be to blame. Since hard water can’t rinse soap off as well as soft water can, your hair might grow limp because of the shampoo and conditioner residue that’s left behind. If you color your hair, you might see it fade more quickly or even turn a different shade as the dye reacts with the minerals in the water. You might also experience an itchy scalp, thanks to the dryness that comes from bathing in the hard water.

There are several things that can shorten the life of a water softener. Homes with very hard water may have to replace the unit sooner because the water softener works harder to filter out the hard minerals. High water usage and infrequent maintenance can also put more strain on a water softener.

Whether you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.

To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process for you. Regardless of local laws, it is always recommended to hire a licensed professional to ensure the system is sized and installed correctly. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.

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

While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.
