"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

Water softeners have many benefits. The most important one is converting previously hard water—water with too many minerals—to more usable, easier water. When we say easier water, we mean water that’s easier to digest, less harsh on skin and clothes, and builds up less in the water system. Softer water may lead to lower energy costs and will extend the lifespan of all appliances that use water.

Whether you need a license or permit for water softener installation depends on your location. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, while others may only require a permit and an inspection. In some cases, both a permit and a licensed installer are necessary, and some areas have no requirements at all. Often, only certified plumbers and electricians are allowed to pull the necessary permits. To find out the specific regulations in your area, you can contact your local building department. Alternatively, a local water softener installer or plumber will be familiar with the requirements and can typically pull the permits 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 tools like Angi’s state licensing tool to verify an installer's license status.

A water softener is a worthwhile investment if you live in an area with hard water. While hard water is safe to drink, it contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that can cause significant problems over time. These minerals build up inside pipes, reducing water flow and eventually corroding the plumbing system, which can lead to leaks and a shortened lifespan. Hard water also damages fixtures and appliances, potentially resulting in costly repairs. Additionally, it makes soaps and detergents less effective, meaning you'll use more product to get things clean. By installing a water softener, you can prevent these issues. The initial investment is often recouped through long-term savings, including lower energy bills, reduced appliance and plumbing maintenance, and spending less on soap and cleaning supplies. Other benefits include cleaner linens, dishes, and clothing, as well as softer water that is gentler on your skin and hair. In some areas, a water softener can also increase your home's value, making it a valuable long-term investment.

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

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.
