"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

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.

Soft water is better for your hair. The minerals in hard water can dry out hair, make it brittle, and leave a film on the hair and scalp that may cause irritation. Hard water also doesn't rinse out shampoo and conditioner effectively, which can lead to product buildup that makes hair look dull and limp. You may also find you need to use more shampoo to get a good lather in hard water.

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.

If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. 

That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.
