How much do water softeners cost?

• <div><p>A lower-end water softener would cost around<b> $900,</b> not including installation. Each home has different requirements, water hardness, and number of inhabitants, so there’s a huge range in pricing—<b>$600</b> to over <b>$6,000</b>. The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-water-softener-repair-cost.htm">water softener repair bill</a> is around <b>$500</b>, meaning it’s a much better option to repair any issues and only replace your softener if absolutely necessary. </p></div>

Q: Can you drink softened water?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s fine to drink softened water. However, if you follow a low-sodium diet or have high blood pressure or sodium-related health concerns, make sure to speak with your doctor beforehand. If they advise against drinking water that&rsquo;s been softened with sodium, you might be able to use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-i-use-potassium-chloride-hard-water.htm">potassium in your water softener</a> instead.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a water softener and a water filter?

• <div><p>The main <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/water-softener-vs-water-filter.htm">difference between water softeners and water filters</a> is that softeners remove hard minerals from the water, while filters have more of a blanket effect, removing all contaminants above a certain size. Filters are also much less expensive to install and protect against bacteria and other impurities. Depending on your water supply, you may need both. </p></div>

Q: Will a whole-house filter help with hard water?

• <div><p>Yes. Hard water is what causes scale buildup, and a whole-house filter provides numerous benefits beyond water softening. Any water that enters your home will go through the filter, which cleans up all water that you will use for cooking, bathing, and drinking. A whole-house water filter also blocks harmful particles like heavy metals.</p></div>

Q: Can hard water cause hair loss?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s unlikely that hard water on its own could cause substantial hair loss or damage, though it&rsquo;s true that bathing in hard water can cause your scalp to feel itchy or flaky and might dull your hair&rsquo;s natural shine. Using high-quality shampoo and conditioner or buying a whole-home water softener can decrease these issues.</p></div>
