FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED. LICENSE: BOBLALP957NK . Here at Bob Larson Plumbing we want to be your P.A.L. ( Positively Affect Lives ) We specialize in Tankless water heaters, Tank water heaters, Water Repipes, Drain Repipes, Gas repipes, Toilet and drain stoppages, Broken and frozen pipes, Boilers, Hydronic heating and much more! We are also able to serve you in the case of an emergency after hours.

"Bob Larson is a scam. I bought a $10,000 on-demand water heater in November 2023. Bob Larson Plumbing recommended and installed the unit; at first, it was great. Since December 2024, the system has been having issues randomly turning itself off. It was more of a nuisance than a real issue at first. I could turn it back on. Bob Larson was called and came out twice but could not resolve the issue. In March of 2025, the problem got worse, and hot water was random at best, even if I reset the heater manually. Instead of resolving the issue or exchanging it, Bob Larson Plumbing is trying to sell me another unit. I am still under warranty. My original receipt shows a 5-year warranty on parts and labor. Bob Larson is an upselling scam. They will not be getting any more of my money."

My name is Ed Hohnstein, and I am a licensed electrical contractor and Class B water systems designer. My extensive experience includes working on wells and pumps since 1968. My son, Matt Hohnstein, a licensed electrician, has been with the business full time since 1987. Our goal is to provide quality service and to respond to your everyday and emergency needs.

"Matt and Ed replaced a compression tank for us. They returned our phone calls, they showed up when they said they would, they did what they said they were going to do, they were friendly and professional, they cleaned up after themselves, and they gladly shared information. They even replaced a filter for us at no extra charge, even though that wasn't part of the original proposal. They didn't try to sell us things we didn't need. I'm really glad to have found them and happy to recommend them."

FAQs for water softener service projects in Rainier, WA

The license requirements for water softener installation depend on your location. Some municipalities require that the installer hold a plumbing license, some require a permit and an inspection, but no license for the installer, and some require a permit and a license for the installer. Regardless of the local laws in your area, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed plumber or installer. These pros will install your system properly and have the experience to size the system appropriately. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your installer’s license status.

Water softeners 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.

It’s possible to install a water softener yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Water softeners require working with copper pipes and electrical wiring, neither are suitable tasks for most DIYers. Plus, working with water and electricity together is dangerous and could pose a risk to your safety. Water softeners also need to be calibrated so that they don’t make your water too soft, as soft water poses just as many risks as hard water. Overall, it’s well worth hiring a local water softener installer to place your water softener system.

The cost to install a water softener system is $1,500 on average, ranging between $200 and $6,000. The labor for water softener work typically costs between $150 and $1,000, so you can add that to your equipment costs to get an accurate total. Your price will depend on many factors, including the following:

  • System capacity 

  • Home size

  • Water hardness levels

  • Type of water softener

  • Presence of electricity in the installation area

  • Local permit costs

Your water softener size is based on your total household water consumption. In most cases, you can assume the average household member will use around 75 gallons per day. Multiply that by the number of people in your home, then multiply by 10 (for the typical grains per gallon). You’ll get a number in grains that should help roughly size your water softener. However, it’s best to hire a professional to install your system and use more exact numbers, like your exact average water consumption per day and starting water hardness.
