"Mike and his team were very responsive from my first contact with Karsare Water Systems. I had a water softener system that developed a problem. Mike came to my home to access my situation and to troubleshoot for possible causes. Mike was very proactive in attempting to determine if repair or replacement was best option and most cost effective. After considering 3 options provided by Mike, I elected to have my older unit replaced with a more efficient Kinetico water softener. Due to manufacturing delays caused by COVID, new unit delivery was delayed a few weeks. This was NOT the fault of Karsare. Upon receipt of new units in their inventory, company immediately contacted me to schedule install appointment. Technician arrived on time as scheduled and immediately went to work replacing my older water softener. Technician worked quickly and had new unit up and running in about 2 hours. Cleaned up area around his work space. Great experience from beginning to the end. Kinetico water systems are not the cheapest in the industry but provide a high quality water softener system for homeowners like me. Karsare is a very professional, knowledgeable, and customer focused company."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Every once in a while, you find a company that still provides wonderful and patient customer service. Ohio Valley Pure Water is one of those rare companies. We had a consultation with another company that we felt was pushing only one brand manufacturer and system, so after reviewing what brand may be superior and reviewing Angie's List, we reached out to Ohio Valley Pure Water. The owner, Mike, promptly responded and arranged to come out and inspect our current layout. He patiently educated us about our choices, the available brands, and how to select the best system for our needs. He was very detail-oriented and pleasant to deal with. Unsolicited, he offered a nice discount if we covered all our needs with his products and services. After we agreed to his proposal, his son came out exactly on time on the service date (another rarity) and did a meticulous and fantastic job of installing the system. He also carefully tested it and then walked us through how to use the water filtration and softening system, and reverse osmosis system, and even filled out the warranty cards for us. They also scheduled us for their annual maintenance tune-up. A day or so after installation, Mike contacted us just to be certain we were fully satisfied and happy with our experience. I wish all companies were so fantastic to work with as Ohio Valley Pure Water, and I strongly recommend them. My only regret is that we did not install this system years earlier as the reverse osmosis system will remove pollutants that apparently Brita filters will not."

"We needed to check our water heater for leaks prior to closing the sale of our house.Joe Lay were out installing a new water heater and expansion tank the next day. The technician explained how all the components were supposed to work before checking everything so we both knew we needed a new tank as well. Outstanding, professional company. Billy was very respectful, knowledgeable and professional the entire time in our home. We would highly recommend Joe Lay and Sons for any plumbing needs."

"The service I received was top notch and far exceeded my expectations. Perry and his associate arrived on time, were very professional, and they were very fair in their pricing. They were able to get our water softener up and running in a short time and didnâ t try to sell me a new water softener even though ours is over 20 years old."

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.

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.

Softened water prevents scale deposits, reducing appliance wear, leading to energy savings and longer-lasting household fixtures.

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.

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.
