"I found this to be the perfect customer service experience! Joe was professional, friendly and informative. He quickly diagnosed my problem and immediately fixed it. Fortunatley it wasn't a big issue but rather a couple of small issues. He also carried in ten 40 bags of salt for me. He explained some features and showed me how to manually recharge the softener just in case it ever needs it. I HIGHLY recommend Water Specialties Group. this is how a service call should be done."

"There was a delay in removing the water softener due to Covid but after 4 months in hiring a handyman, it was resolved and they came out to recheck the softener to make sure it was working properly. Excellent water softener and free service on it for two years."

"Amazing company to work with and amazing products! Robert was extremely professional from start to finish, very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions. He thoroughly reviewed my issues, home set up, and tested the water to ensure that I was getting a filtration system that would be tailored to meet the needs of my home. The difference in water quality is remarkable. The installation was done with high quality products so I am looking forward to enjoying this improved quality of living for many years to come."

"I highly recommend F3 Plumbing. They were not only the fastest to respond, but Sam, along with Ron, were also very knowledgeable, consultative, and pleasant to work with. They also were reasonably priced. Sam's son Steve, was also very diligent and did a great job on a challenging project involving replacing a busted cast iron pipe buried in foundational concrete. It was a messy job, but they were very respectful, keeping things clean as they went in and out, and cleaned up nicely when they were done. I would highly recommend F3 Plumbing in the future."

"I have been fighting bad well water for 18 years with water that smelled and was black. I had three companies sell me systems that were suppose to solve the problem but did not. I then talked to three more companies that knew what I needed without testing my water. These companies were all selling a standard system for all people for a lot of money instead of one for your problems. I came across Water Specialties Group at the Pheasant Run Home Show at Saint Charles. They were the only dealer that did a lab test of your water before they would make recommendations. They then explained the lab test, what the water problems were, and what it would take to fix it with a guarantee that the water problems would be corrected. The price was similar to what the other companies were charging.
The installation was very professional with the installer more concerned on a quality job instead of time. For the first time since building our house 18 years ago, we have really good water. The water is clean, soft, and does not have an odor. The black water is gone. The system is economical on material and is easy to use. They even came out for a post installation visit with another water test to be sure that everything was operating correctly.
I could not be more pleased. Water Specialties Group is the first real professional water treatment company I have found. They will test your water to find out what your specific water problems are and what it will take to solve the problems. Their prices are similar to what the other companies charge. But the price is a much better value as the water problem is actually solved instead of having to keep spending money on more systems. What it took to fix my water problems is not important as each person has different water. The process that Water Specialties Group uses to find and cure the problem is what is important.
I give Water Specialties Group my highest recommendation.

"Great, and it was all done long distance, since we live in another state. The work was at our Chicago condo They could have really let down but never did. I have recommended Splash to my building manager, too, if other owners need a reliable, courteous and reasonable plumber!"

FAQs for water softener service projects in Broadview, IL

The license requirements for water softener installation depend on your location. Some municipalities require that the installer hold a plumbing license, some require a permit and an inspection, but no license for the installer, and some require a permit and a license for the installer. Regardless of the local laws in your area, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed plumber or installer. These pros will install your system properly and have the experience to size the system appropriately. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your installer’s license status.

Water softeners are worth the money if you live in an area with hard water. Hard water is safe to drink, but it poses serious threats to your plumbing system. The minerals in hard water will gradually build up on the inside walls of your pipes, reducing water flow to your fixtures. The minerals can also gradually corrode your plumbing system, reduce its lifespan, and increase the risk of leaks. Hard water also makes soap and detergent less effective. Water softener systems can solve all these issues, making them a great investment.

It’s possible to install a water softener yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Water softeners require working with copper pipes and electrical wiring, neither are suitable tasks for most DIYers. Plus, working with water and electricity together is dangerous and could pose a risk to your safety. Water softeners also need to be calibrated so that they don’t make your water too soft, as soft water poses just as many risks as hard water. Overall, it’s well worth hiring a local water softener installer to place your water softener system.

The cost to install a water softener system is $1,500 on average, ranging between $200 and $6,000. The labor for water softener work typically costs between $150 and $1,000, so you can add that to your equipment costs to get an accurate total. Your price will depend on many factors, including the following:

  • System capacity 

  • Home size

  • Water hardness levels

  • Type of water softener

  • Presence of electricity in the installation area

  • Local permit costs

Your water softener size is based on your total household water consumption. In most cases, you can assume the average household member will use around 75 gallons per day. Multiply that by the number of people in your home, then multiply by 10 (for the typical grains per gallon). You’ll get a number in grains that should help roughly size your water softener. However, it’s best to hire a professional to install your system and use more exact numbers, like your exact average water consumption per day and starting water hardness.
