"We have had Kinetico Systems before and wanted one for our new house. I submitted an online request to Mermaid Water Systems, and Lisa got back to me within the hour. She was able to get an appointment quickly. Randy came to our home (on time!) and quickly went over the options. We chose both the water softener and drinking water systems. We arranged for installation in less than a week. Zabi and his partner arrived and installed both systems. Our whole experience was positive, and we love the Kinetico systems."

"The owner Jerry came out quickly when we called, he was friendly, and did a thorough job testing and explaining what he offers. After getting a quote from him and one other and doing my own research and water testing, I found Jerry to be more accurate with my research and testing. His quote was reasonable, and he listened to what I said I needed and wanted. I would highly recommend this company. Not to mention his people were out within just a few days to install my water system. They were polite and respectful."

"We had a Hague WATERMAX WATER SOFTENER + FILTER system installed along with a reverse osmosis system for our drinking water. They also corrected our acidic pH all of which improved our home's water quality tremendously. I love the fact that it has a self-cleaning filter and that the reverse osmosis system's filter only needs to be changed once per year. It is not the cheapest system on the market, but you get what you pay for!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Commonwealth Plumbing is a small local operation. The plumber came quickly to assess my farm well pump problem and was ready to tackle the job. He received a call from a customer who had no water in the house with children. The plumber asked if he could take care of that job first as a genuine concern. My well pump is just for irrigation which is not critical compared to a family without water. The plumber headed off , took care of the family and returned first thing the next morning and repaired my system. Excellent work, reasonable price, as well as compassionate."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

Softener systems extend appliance life spans, improve skin and hair health, and reduce pipe buildup by removing minerals like calcium and magnesium.

Experts recommend that you put two to four bags of potassium chloride in your water softener every month. This amount depends on how much is in the bag (40 pounds is most common) and what your water softener manufacturer recommends. For more specific advice, talk to a water softener pro in your area and read the manual that came with your system.

Hard water stains can be a headache because they will reoccur as long as hard water flows through. Thankfully, hard water stains are not permanent. With the right tools and an appropriate cleaning routine, you can prevent hard water stains from ever building up. However, you might feel like you are stuck in a constant cleaning cycle. In that case, you may consider hiring a contractor to perform routine cleaning.

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
