"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 ¬"

"From the consultation to the installation, this company was great. I have well water that had a sulfur smell and iron staining. Chuck came out and quoted system, it was priced below 2 other quotes I had received. Work was done professionally and quickly. Water is so much better now. Highly recommend this company. They followed up 2 weeks after install, to make sure all was good. Could not be happier! A++++++"

"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"

"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

Generally, it is safe to bathe in yellow water, as the color is often caused by iron, tannins, or rust, which won't harm your skin. Soap will still clean you effectively, though the water might leave stains. However, if the water has an unusual smell or you suspect contamination, avoid bathing and contact a plumber for an inspection. A professional can also help if you find bathing in yellow water problematic and want to determine how to get your water clear again.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

While it depends on how complicated the unit and installation is, it takes two to four hours to install a water softener unit, on average. It might take longer if pipes need to be replaced. You should make sure the installation area is clear of any objects that might get in the way before you begin.

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.

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
