"I knew nothing about water filtration systems before hiring Eco Water. I had serious issues with my water and got filtration system and bacteria light for whole home. It was only a one day instalI but could have been less if it was not for running lines from one side of house to the other for the system to be put in my garage. The system works great!! I would recommend Eco Water for your home."

"They came out on a Sunday because I had no water. They are so nice & helpful. My tenant left and turned off the water because the water line was leaking when the water and ice tube was removed. There was no shut off valve upstairs so the repair man went to purchase the part and came back so I could have water. He replaced the filter which was clogged and increased the water pressure. These are the same guys who replaced my tank a couple years ago. Very dependable. I highly recommend."

"Rusty is a great guy. Personable, honest, transparent. I sent pictures regarding my dilemma with my water heater. He was able to diagnose the problem and he told me what steps I needed to take to replace it. The process was not lengthy and he did a great job. I would definitely recommend his services."

"Excellent Experience...Came out the same day to replace my pump. Was done with the job within the hour and the new pump has been going strong. When you loose all water to your house and a company can come out within a few hours and restore your water...that's a great thing! Would recommend them to everyone."

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can have both a water softener and a water filter. In fact, some manufacturers sell dual water softening and filtration systems that treat hard water and provide clean drinking water. If you’re unsure about what you need or want to discuss your options, reach out to a local water softener installation company.

The primary difference between a water softener and a water filter lies in what they remove from the water. A water softener is designed to remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. In contrast, a water filter has a broader effect, removing various contaminants above a certain size, which can include bacteria and other impurities.

To decide which you need, consider your goal. If you want to eliminate hard minerals, choose a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, a filter is the better option. Filters are also generally less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply, you may need to install both 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

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.

Softened water prevents scale deposits, reducing appliance wear, leading to energy savings and longer-lasting household fixtures.
