"Simply PUR was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They were personable and provided us with a lot of information and answered all of our questions. The installation process went smooth and they came back to check our water filtration systems and retested my water. They were honest and sincere and most importantly very reliable and professional the whole way through. Its always a pleasure dealing with Simply PUR. I highly recommend using this company and will continue to refer my friends and family to use them."

"The receptionist was courteous and personable when I called. The workers arrived promptly. They were professional and knowledgeable. They completed the work efficiently and promptly. I have used filtered water for over ten years. This was the first time I used this company and their prices were entirely reasonable. I have a water tester. And the new water filtering system they installed passed the test for excellent water filtration."

"There was damage to a lower ceiling from a bathroom on the upper floor. The plumber reset the toilet in the upper bathroom, which looked like it was the correct thing to do at the time, but the next day, the ceiling was still wet, and I discovered that the waste pipe had a hole in it, in two places, and the plumber had to come back, replace that pipe, reset the toilet again, at additional expense. He did a good job though, and hopefully no more leaks."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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

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.

Soft water is better for your hair. The minerals in hard water can dry out hair, make it brittle, and leave a film on the hair and scalp that may cause irritation. Hard water also doesn't rinse out shampoo and conditioner effectively, which can lead to product buildup that makes hair look dull and limp. You may also find you need to use more shampoo to get a good lather in hard water.

It depends on the type of surface. For instance, if you’re trying to get rid of hard water deposits on glass, you can spray vinegar onto the surface and wipe it off with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. However, if the deposits are on granite or natural stone, it’s better to use baking soda and water rather than vinegar or other acidic cleaners.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.
