"Starting at the end of last year, I started researching water treatment systems for my home. After checking in with a few companies around town, I discovered Best Water Solutions. When I first called their office to discuss a quote, I ended up talking to Courtney for about half an hour. She gave me information about their services and answered a few questions I had before the estimate. Later on the next week, Jorge came out to my home to evaluate our water needs. He was very honest and straightforward with what was needed for the home. It was a relief to hear that not much was needed. This was a pleasant surprise as other companies around town just tried to sell bigger, complicated, and more expense systems that werenâ t necessary or useful for our situation. He took some water samples to test to confirm that nothing else was needed in addition to his initial evaluation. A couple days later, he called me and let me know that all was well. We only needed a sediment filter, water softener, and reverse osmosis system for our drinking water. This was a relief, but me being a curious person still had a lot of questions. I spent quite a while on the phone with Jorge and he was happy to answer all of my questions. Throughout the whole process, Jorge and Courtney had an approach of education and patience, whereas everyone else I talked to just wanted to sell a system. After the system was quoted and approved, we had an install date a couple weeks out. When the technicians arrived at my home, they were friendly and professional. I went over a few details with them and they had everything setup within a few hours. The install was IMMACULATE. There was great attention to detail and care in handling all the equipment. After the install was complete, the technicians went over everything that was done. I asked them about when to change filters and what was needed maintenance wise for the system. They let me know that I did not need to worry about it as the office would reach out when anything was needed to be done. This was great as it took one more item off my plate to keep track of. It's been great having the confidence that our home water supply and drinking water is now clean and protected. I would highly recommend Best Water Solutions to anyone in the Alachua County area looking for a water treatment system for their home or business."

"I would highly recommend LCRG Enterprises. Izryal has been absolutely tremendous in helping me with both of my properties in central Florida. One property had discolored water, and after a chlorination system was installed, it became instantly better. Izryal still comes by personally each month for service to the system. The other property received a water conditioning system that drastically softened my water. It has been a wonderful enhancement to the house. They have been a fantastic company to work with and I will absolutely be utilizing their services again on my next house."

"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++++++"

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

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

Yes, a water softener can remove scale deposits. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, after you add a water softener to your home, “gradually the softer water will dissolve limescale scale deposits and remove the problem entirely.” Installing a water softener—or water descaler—will also help prevent new scale deposits from forming.

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.

You should not use a water conditioner with a water softener because a water conditioner changes the chemistry of the water and causes the ion exchange in a softener to be ineffective. Choose a water softener if you have hard water or well water, and use a water conditioner if you need to remove certain contaminants.

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.
