"They replaced and reconfigured the aging and inappropriate plumbing system in our home. They also cleaned our furnace and discovered things that had not been addressed in past "professional" services. We are very happy with their work and recommend them highly."

"Matt is awesome. He does quality work for a fair price. He actually did two things for us on two separate days. Replaced our pressure tank (we're on well water) and then installed an outside water spigot for us as our house did not have one. I selected "water heater install" as that was the closest option I could find to a pressure tank. Overall, I highly recommend giving Matt a call for any of your plumbing needs. He's a master plumber, very kind, pleasant to chat with, and most importantly, does a dang fine job with his work. Give him a chance, you'll be thankful you did."

"The company's responsiveness to our urgent situation was extraordinary. The owner made a 60 mile trip to examine our situation on Sunday morning! He expected at least a week before they could do the work, but he got it done the next morning so that we would have safe water...we had been waiting for another contractor for more than 3 months! The installed radon mitigation system has performed flawlessly. We are grateful and confidently give AquaMax our highest recommendation."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Hard water stains can be a headache because they will reoccur as long as hard water flows through. Thankfully, hard water stains are not permanent. With the right tools and an appropriate cleaning routine, you can prevent hard water stains from ever building up. However, you might feel like you are stuck in a constant cleaning cycle. In that case, you may consider hiring a contractor to perform routine cleaning.

Water softeners have many benefits. The most important one is converting previously hard water—water with too many minerals—to more usable, easier water. When we say easier water, we mean water that’s easier to digest, less harsh on skin and clothes, and builds up less in the water system. Softer water may lead to lower energy costs and will extend the lifespan of all appliances that use water.

The main difference between a water softener and a water filter is what they remove from the water. A water softener is specifically designed to remove hard minerals, while a filter removes a wider range of contaminants above a certain size, such as bacteria and other impurities. If your primary goal is to remove minerals, a softener is the best choice. If you want to remove various contaminants for safety or taste, a filter is more suitable. Filters are also typically less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply's specific issues, you may need to install both systems for comprehensive treatment.

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

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time.
