"I normally do not write bad reviews, I talk directly to the business. Unfortunately, that hasn't produced good results. Almost 4 years ago, Hague Water Systems contacted me regarding a water softener. I needed to replace my water tank so I purchased both from them. I have been happy with the system and the installer/service technicians until last year. Installer and service technicians anre great! About a year ago I noticed that the hot water tank was leaking and called Hague. I was told that they don't warranty hot water tanks and that I needed to contact the manufacturer. I contacted the manufacturer and they said it does have a warranty and to contact the installer to replace it. I've gotten all kinds of excuses from Hague "we don't warranty that, we are short installers, that is another dept, etc." Hague hasn't even come to check it out. I'm attaching pictures of the mess I'm dealing with. They say they warranty their products. I still have a defective hot water tan"

"I had Polestar come out first to try to fix a leaking shower. Two guys came out, they "tried" to fix it and told me that they would have to rip out the entire wall behind the shower and replace the piping quoted $895. They also tried to sell me a Scale Blaster for $465 because he said my water was bad?. I was not ready for to spend that kind of money so I paid them the $65 for coming out and told them I would think about it.... One Week later I call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing (on new years eve) they came out right away. The plumber (Dennis) was very professional and honest. It took him 15 minutes to replace the small valve that was causing the leak and he charged me $370 for the job. I also asked him about the Scale Blaster, he said it did not work in his experience. After reading some online reviews I realized that he was right. From now on I will be calling Ben Franklin for all my plumbing needs."

"Jon came out for the annual maintenance on my water softener and R/O system. He quickly tested my water to make sure both systems were working correctly and replaced the filters on my R/O system. Everything went smoothly."

"Brian and Nicole did an amazing job on our house! We had a variety of plumbing issues and they made quick work of it. Their communication is top notch. Saved us a lot of money by showing us a better way. They were friendly and kept the job clean and safe. They installed a tankless water heater, PEX throughout the house, finished the bathroom plumbing and the plumbing for 2 kitchens. They helped dig out the old sewer / drain plumbing and installed all new pipes. Everything works as it should and we couldn't be happier! If you have plumbing needs these folks are the best!"
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.
