"Better than expected - at first we thought the washer had died, it was just humming and stuck at the end of the fill cycle.  I was trying to figure out if I could confirm exactly what was wrong with that, when my wife was going to make some coffee and she figured our we didn't have any water.  The company that had dug the well and installed the pump was located just 2 miles from here but they had closed years ago, so I went to Angies List to look.  Selected Aqua because they generally had good reviews and they were only about 15 miles away.    It was a good choice because less than six hours from the time we found no water 'till the new pump was installed.
We never had a new pump installed, regardless who does it and how efficient they are, it will be a pain. The pump company has to chlorinate the well and you can't use it for at least 8 hours, so we ended up getting a hotel room for the night.  Then you have to run the well to get the high levels of chlorine out, it took over 5 hours.  You also probably will want to take all the aerators off your faucets for a while - the pump removal, chlorination, and disruption caused all sorts of fine grit that got into the house pipes (we did flush the toilets before the chlorine was out and before I brought the filters and softeners back on line)  Removing them in advance would be easier than cleaning the grit out of the aerator screens.
All in all, I can't complain.  I suspect I could have gotten a better price - had I waited until Monday and did some shopping but then we would have been disrupted during the work week.   I gave them a B on price - based on the last estimate i got I was expecting 1500 give or take...  I also only gave them a B on quality because of my read of the warranty.  I reviewed the manual for the pump and it read something like for 18 month from manufacture date or 1 year from installation, whichever comes 1st.   That just struck me as strange.  It sounded like the pump could actually have no warranty if it was manufactured 18 months ago.  Maybe I misread it but that was my 1st impression and it didn't inspire confidence.   I'm hoping it will be good for another 30+ years.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The primary difference between a water softener and a water filter lies in what they remove from the water. A water softener is designed to remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. In contrast, a water filter has a broader effect, removing various contaminants above a certain size, which can include bacteria and other impurities.

To decide which you need, consider your goal. If you want to eliminate hard minerals, choose a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, a filter is the better option. Filters are also generally less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply, you may need to install both for comprehensive treatment.

You can install a water softener system by turning off the water supply, draining the water, and then connecting your device to the waterline. Next, you’ll fill your tank with the recommended amount of salt or brine (whichever your unit calls for; be sure to read the instructions). Turn the water supply on and check for leaks. You can opt to let your water run for a few minutes, then test it using strips. 

The process of inspecting your water softener system is similar.

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.

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time. 

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
