"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!!!"

"Andy was quick, clean and very professional. I only requested the concrete and driveway and he noticed how much mildew was growing on the side of my building and with hesitation power washed that as well. Thank you for your services, I would definitely recommend his services to my family and friends."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.

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.

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

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.

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.
