"Randy was great. He returned my call promptly and came when he said he would. I had my water tested and a whole house water conditioner and reverse osmosis tank were installed the next morning. We are loving our â .newâ water! A great company."

"All About Plumbing replaced an old leaking Rinnai hot water heater with a new rur199i Rinnai tankless hot water heater. This model had a built-in recycle pump; however, All About Plumbing then installed a Rinnai controller, which we programmed to enable the pump to work on a programmed daily schedule. I am very pleased with their work and knowledge to make sure it was complete and working properly."

"Garret went above and beyond to help diagnose and repair my well pump problem and get my water back up and running asap. He immediately came out, and stayed committed to getting my water back up and running that afternoon so I would not have to go the night without water. I would highly recommend to anyone needing any kind of well services."

"Both of the owners were polite and easy to work with. They showed up on time and did quality work to replace very poor work done by another plumber. They weren't the cheapest but you get what you pay for. I know after replacing three hot water heaters in 16 years."

"Had water leak that presented in basement shop. I traced to upstairs bathroom and thought leak was coming from tub/shower supply. David quickly determined that the problem was actually a leaky toilet fill valve and corrected the problem quickly and to my satisfaction."

"I have used Four Seasons multiple times since moving into my new home this summer. I remodeled two bathrooms and Four Seasons disconnected plumbing lines, then reconnected them after vanities were installed, and put in new faucets. They have offered me several discounts and even some free work which is very much appreciated! Their prices without discounts is also very reasonable. Their quote on a tankless water heater (which is my next project) was also the best I received out of three different companies. The front desk staff are always very pleasant when I've called to set up an appointment and have availability within a few business days. Joel has been the plumber sent to my house for all our service calls. He is very helpful, professional, and does fantastic work. This company is clearly well organized with great staff and they care about their customers!"

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

Hard water is not considered unhealthy and is safe to drink, cook with, and bathe in. It doesn't pose a risk to your physical health and can even help you get enough essential minerals like calcium in your diet. However, it can negatively affect skin and hair. Using hard water for washing can contribute to dry skin, an itchy scalp, and may worsen conditions like eczema by altering the pH balance. Additionally, some people do not like the taste of hard water.

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

Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.

You should not use a water conditioner with a water softener because a water conditioner changes the chemistry of the water and causes the ion exchange in a softener to be ineffective. Choose a water softener if you have hard water or well water, and use a water conditioner if you need to remove certain contaminants.

It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.
