"We had a fantastic experience with Wisconsin Well & Water Systems. I initially found this company through Home Advisor and submitted a request for a quote. Within hours I heard back and had an appointment scheduled that worked with my schedule; other local companies took days to return my calls. Bruce goes out of his way to help his clients learn so they can make informed decisions about their well systems. Our well dated back to 1964. Initially, I thought the job would be smaller, possibly replacing the pressure tank. As Bruce spent time up front investigating our situation and providing options, the job grew but I never felt pressured. Bruce is personable and earned my trust through all the time he invested before we even made a deposit. He and his crew went above and beyond my expectations to schedule at a time that was convenient for me, complete the work quickly, and to the highest quality. Our water tastes better than it has in years, plus the water pressure is great! I really appreciated the hard work and highly recommend this company."

"Got home from work on a Friday evening and found no water pressure in the house. Requested a quote from All-Around and Tom called me back within 15 minutes! Helped me do some basic troubleshooting over the phone to make sure a visit was necessary and he'd be prepared, then was willing to come out first thing Saturday morning on a big Badger football weekend. After they arrived, they were super professional, going the extra mile to make sure we understood what they were finding and what our options were for service. Ended up replacing the well pump, all our wiring, and some pipes that were in danger of failing in the next few years - and left with a smile saying we shouldn't need to see him again for 20 years. Price seemed very reasonable given the amount of work we needed done. Almost wish something in the plumbing would fail so we could call them back sooner! If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would for overall excellent service and follow-up."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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

Whether you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.

To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process 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 Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.

Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.

Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won’t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn’t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average water softener installation cost is between $200 and $6,000.

Because it’s been through the water cycle, evaporating and becoming slightly acidic thanks to dissolved carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, rainwater tends to be naturally soft compared to groundwater, which has just been in contact with limestone. However, the natural hardness level of water always depends on where you are and other factors.
