"Our well went out. Motal came out, diagnosed the problem, pulled the pipe and locked up pump, and replaced it. We had water within 24 hours of the initial call. I know that timing might not be the same for every client, but we got lucky. We were pleased by the clear, timely, and consistent communication, and the quality of the work. Paul and his team are the best! (Another well company came out first and gave us changing stories on availability. Clear, honest communication is imperative in developing trust with a vendor/service provider!)"

"Eric reached out to me very quickly and I told him what I wanted up front. We made an appointment and he didnâ t waste my time and gave me a thorough explanation of what systems AWS and Pentair provided. I appreciate that he had no pressure or gimmicks and gave me time to consider my purchase. After comparing four other water softener providers, the value of what Austin Water Solutions provides is worth it for the customer service alone. Mike and his team came on time as scheduled and explained what was being installed and how the systems worked. I couldnâ t be happier. Cheers!"

"This is a late review coming in, but i think they need some work as a company. I had a clog throughout my entire house. After 2 hrs of snaking my toilet he called his boss for advice. They recommended i dig up my yard for a large amount of money. With no camera or any other tools other than ones diy people would have, i sent them away. After paying 450 dollars for nothing i called roto rooter. They found the problem quick and easy. It was on the other side of the house and i would have dug up my yard for nothing. I call the pros for tools and work i wouldnt do myself but when i asked them why they didnt have a camera they said its expensive and it cant go in the pipe with water. Roto rooter confirmed that what they said was false and proved it by using a camera themselves"

"Wayne and Will were fantastic. They called me back promptly. Did what they said they would do which was fix the leak in my slab. They quoted me a price and stuck with it. They also hauled off my old water softener for me. They explained what the problem was and assured me that they could fix the problem and they did. They were professional, polite and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend Plumbing outfitters and goes as far as to say, " Don't even look for anybody else as they can fix any plumbing need you have. Also the rates were affordable."

"Before the water heater installation, the technician said that in order to meet code requirement the water heater needed a vacuum breaker, which cost $95 above and beyond the $900 coupon price.  I said to him that the coupon price should be for a water heater that met all regulatory requirements instead of charging me extra for the vacuum breaker that's a code requirement.  He said no.  Since I needed the new water heater badly, I asked him to go ahead to install it and I would call his manager to talk about this.  When I called the manager he said he had to talk with the technician when he returned to the office the next morning.  When I called the manager again Monday morning after he had a chance to talk to the technician, he reduced the charge for the vacuum breaker to $30, perhaps the cost of the parts.  However, I still think that the vacuum breaker should be part of the package cost because they are supposed to supply and install a water heater with all parts required by prevailing codes because it's not an optional equipment.  Also, the technician used a pressure regulator, a flexible copper hose, and a power supply cable from my old water heater instead of using brand new ones.  Since the coupon did not list all these details, I couldn't argue about this, but the previous company which installed my last water heater supplied all these brand new, including the 3/4" brass ball valve for free while I had to pay $95 for it now.

"had a leak my the water meter box, came out found the leak and had it fixed within the hour.  Previous estimates $2800.00 - $1750.00.  Jesus and Jose fixed for only $595.00 with a warranty on work! A true life and budget savers.  The crew was professional and courteous.  I'm really impressed I will use your company again in the future and will recommend to anyone and everyone

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Water softeners have many benefits. The most important one is converting previously hard water—water with too many minerals—to more usable, easier water. When we say easier water, we mean water that’s easier to digest, less harsh on skin and clothes, and builds up less in the water system. Softer water may lead to lower energy costs and will extend the lifespan of all appliances that use water.

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.

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.

The most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.

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
