Customers say: Terrific value

"Originally, I hired Tubbs to just deliver salt.. Very Prompt.. However, 3 times softener was so overfilled it created a 'bridge'.. The last time it happened my rubber mallet did NOT work to break it up.. the bridge was like a 'solid ice cube' and Tubbs REFUSED to resolve the issue.. ***I had to HIRE CULLIGAN TO bring a special tool to fix the issue!!***.. I forgave them for that also.. My water softener needed replacing.. They were quick to get it done BUT same day, I developed a electrical issue.. For some reason, unit was throwing the breaker.. never happened with old softener.. They denied it was 'related to new softener'.. Electrician revamped electrical so that new unit would no longer pose a problem.. What went un-noticed when they replaced the softener is this- my reverse osmosis filters are maybe 3 inches from the softener and they removed one of the filters as, CLEARLY it was in the way, I understand that.. However, it is 6 weeks ago since installation and I only notice last week when I cleaned the utility room.. Called to ask them to please put it back so that I do NOT have to pay a pricey service call from Mulligan.. They DENIED removing it!!... Tubbs Soft Water and I are the ONLY PEOPLE who are ever in that room!!.. ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY because they are evidently NOT HUMAN and never make mistakes!.. Hired NEW company today, enough is enough.."

FAQs for water softener service projects in Starbuck, MN

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.
