"Why be stingy with your stars?! I would give them 10 stars if I could! I scheduled a visit with AquaRight, a couple of years ago. Mr. Naim Bey arrived on time, was neatly dressed and very professional. He meticulously tested the water in my home and provided me with his assessment of its condition. He patiently answered my numerous questions and then carefully and honestly explained my options. I subsequently chose a Whole-House water treatment system. Mr. Naim determined the best location for the system and returned to supervise its seamless installation. Ever since that time, I have been enjoying drinking, cooking, and bathing with my clean, healthy water. AquaRight is praiseworthy because not only did they do an exceptional, stress-free installation, but they have serviced my unit as promised. It has worked wonderfully and with a 25-year warranty, I am not worried. I highly recommend hiring AquaRight if an outstanding product and reliable service is important to you."

"Zane was able to come out earlier than scheduled and was able to look at the job and knew exactly what to do. We had to find the exterior water shut off valve for the Condo but after that he was at it and completed in no time. Zane was super professional, extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. He provided me an estimate for another job and I could not be happier with his fantastic customer service. Thank you Zane and Mr Rooter Plumbing. Highly recommend!!!"

"Spoke with Chris about the issues we were having with our water. He provided an abundance of information and options. He scheduled for the install the very next day and we couldn’t be happier with the work and professionalism of Paul, the technician assigned to the job. We would recommend them to anyone when asked. Thanks again Chris."

"Top notch service, quick delivery and installation, and amazing results. I thought my water quality was good until I saw the test results. I had a professionally installed water system for the last ten years so I figured I was good to go, but I wasnâ t. Bobby responded quickly and showed genuine concern for my family and how my water quality could affect them. He recommended a system designed to correct the problem and had it up and running in less than a week. I was very happy with my experience then after having experienced what a proper system could do I was blown away! Water is something we take for granted and if itâ s clear we assume itâ s good, donâ t make the mistake I did. Call Bobby and have your system checked!"

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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 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 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.
