"Mike from Allegiance Water called. I explained what my problem was. He asked me a few questions and had me look at the unit to tell him what was happening. He asked if I had ever plugged the unit into a different wall plug. I hadn't, so he waited while I got and attached an extension cord to the water softener. When I plugged the cord into a different wall plug, the control pane lite up and I was able to program the softener. Further checking the wall plug showed the bottom plug was semi functional. The unit is working now. It appears the water softener is fine and I need to replace the wall plug. It will be replaced on Saturday. The Allegiance technician was honest. He could have taken another path and charge me for unneeded repairs. Allegiance Water Services phone number is written on the front page of my water softener maintenance manual for any future service it may need."

"Called yesterday to set up appointment for an estimate on a couple things I needed done. One was to put a water shut off valve somewhere that I didn't need to crawl under the house. The other I needed my toilet fixed. Brent H came out yesterday, gave me an estimate and installed a water shutoff valve and fixed my toilet. Brent was very professional and so fast I was amazed he finished so quickly. Perfect plumbing and heating is amazing and so is Brent!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. 

That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

A lower-end water softener would cost around $900, not including installation. Each home has different requirements, water hardness, and number of inhabitants, so there’s a huge range in pricing—$600 to over $6,000. The average water softener repair bill is around $500, meaning it’s a much better option to repair any issues and only replace your softener if absolutely necessary. 

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.

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.

The most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.
