Q: Will installing a water softener in my house reduce calcium hardness in my pool?

• <div><p>Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won&rsquo;t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn&rsquo;t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-water-softener-installation-cost.htm"> water softener installation cost</a> is between <b>$200 and $6,000</b>.</p></div>

Q: What is the downside of a water softener?

• <div><p>It does cost money to have a water softener, both for installation and ongoing maintenance. Additionally, the taste of your water will be altered, especially if sodium is the ingredient you use to run the water softening system. Look up exactly what your chosen water softener will remove and what will remain because not all systems provide the same results. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace a water softener?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is a water softener worth it?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hard-truth-about-water-softeners.htm">Water softeners</a> are worth the money if you live in an area with hard water. Hard water is safe to drink, but it poses serious threats to your plumbing system. The minerals in hard water will gradually build up on the inside walls of your pipes, reducing water flow to your fixtures. The minerals can also gradually corrode your plumbing system, reduce its lifespan, and increase the risk of leaks. Hard water also makes soap and detergent less effective. Water softener systems can solve all these issues, making them a great investment.</p></div>
