"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."

"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."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

A lower-end water softener would cost around $900, not including installation. Each home has different requirements, water hardness, and number of inhabitants, so there’s a huge range in pricing—$600 to over $6,000. The average water softener repair bill is around $500, meaning it’s a much better option to repair any issues and only replace your softener if absolutely necessary. 

You can install a water softener system by turning off the water supply, draining the water, and then connecting your device to the waterline. Next, you’ll fill your tank with the recommended amount of salt or brine (whichever your unit calls for; be sure to read the instructions). Turn the water supply on and check for leaks. You can opt to let your water run for a few minutes, then test it using strips. 

The process of inspecting your water softener system is similar.

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.

There are several things that can shorten the life of a water softener. Homes with very hard water may have to replace the unit sooner because the water softener works harder to filter out the hard minerals. High water usage and infrequent maintenance can also put more strain on a water softener.
