"Simply PUR recently installed a whole house water filtration/softening system, along with an RO system, in my home and did an amazing job. My experience with Vincent and his wife Claudia throughout the whole process was wonderful. They thoroughly explained the system, the installation process, and answered all my questions. The install went smooth, and Vincent even took care of a flawed plumbing trap previously done. What I appreciated most was how Vincent assured me he would continue to follow-up with me on when I should check my salt levels, change my filters, and if there are any updates with the equipment. I now have piece of mind knowing I'm providing clean and safe drinking water to my family. Thanks Simply PUR!!!"

"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."

"Great service. Ask for Bob, he is great and did a great job installing a filtration and softening system at our home. His quality of service was top notch and followed through with everything. Price is also reasonable and much better than the previous company I was using."

"Anthony was wonderful. Very nice to deal with and talk too loved him. Highly recommend him! And his team of guys were great also. He came back to do our gas fireplace for us also. His pricing is great! And great job done. It was supposed to be two days to do the central air he asked to stay later and was done in one full day. Like I said Anthony's the BEST!!!

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

While it depends on how complicated the unit and installation is, it takes two to four hours to install a water softener unit, on average. It might take longer if pipes need to be replaced. You should make sure the installation area is clear of any objects that might get in the way before you begin.

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.

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.

Whether you need a license or permit for water softener installation depends on your location. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, while others may only require a permit and an inspection. In some cases, both a permit and a licensed installer are necessary, and some areas have no requirements at all. Often, only certified plumbers and electricians are allowed to pull the necessary permits. To find out the specific regulations in your area, you can contact your local building department. Alternatively, a local water softener installer or plumber will be familiar with the requirements and can typically pull the permits for you. Regardless of local laws, it is always recommended to hire a licensed professional to ensure the system is sized and installed correctly. You can use tools like Angi’s state licensing tool to verify an installer's license status.

A good hardness level for drinking water can vary based on personal preferences, but an ideal level is 3.5 to 7 GPG. This means your water isn’t soft or hard. However, some people prefer the “fresh” taste from the minerals in hard water, while others like the smoother, “slippery” texture of soft water.
