By the end of this article, you will understand the <a href=\"https:\/\/waterfilterspot.com\/water-softener-benefits\/\">benefits<\/a> and cost of owning a water softener system.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"so-how-much-do-water-softeners-cost\">So, How much do Water Softeners Cost?<\/h2>    <p>A broad estimate in the cost of a water softener system is between <strong>$600-$2,500<\/strong> on average. However, you can find some small ones on Amazon for less than <strong>$450<\/strong>, and the large capacity industrial ones can cost up to <strong>$10,000<\/strong>.<\/p>    <p>So, really the cost of a water softener depends on the following factors:<\/p>    <ul><li>System and Unit Size<\/li><li>Installation<\/li><li>Maintenance<\/li><\/ul>    <p>One last point before we get into the water softener cost breakdown: You may still be unsure if investing in a water softener is even worth the cost.<\/p>    <p>We give a resounding <strong>yes!<\/strong> A good-quality water softener (see <a href=\"https:\/\/waterfilterspot.com\/best-water-softener\/\">our water softener reviews<\/a> of the best) is well worth the cost because, in the long run, it will save you money. There&#8217;s also an option to <a href=\"https:\/\/waterfilterspot.com\/water-softener-rental\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer\">rent a water softener<\/a> but it is not a smart long term investment.<\/p>    <p>Hard water affects pipes, appliances, skin, hair, and clothes. A softener will increase the lifetime of both your plumbing system and appliances while giving you the peace of mind that your soap is actually working when your skin feels soft, and your clothes are bright.<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/waterfilterspot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Water-Treatment-System.jpg\" alt=\"A water treatment system\" class=\"wp-image-2038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waterfilterspot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Water-Treatment-System.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/waterfilterspot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Water-Treatment-System-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waterfilterspot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Water-Treatment-System-768x523.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>    <h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"water-softener-system-cost-breakdown\">Water Softener System Cost Breakdown<\/h2>    <p>Let\u2019s first look at the system and size of various units to get a better idea of the cost.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"system-and-unit-size\">System and Unit Size<\/h3>    <p>The type and size of the unit will determine the initial cost. Larger homes with high water usage require larger amounts of water, which in turn requires a higher-efficiency softener. Smaller homes with lower water usage will need a smaller softener, thus naturally saving cost.<\/p>    <p>Water softeners are characterized by their capacity (how much water they can soften). Their capacity is measured in grains per gallon (GPG).&nbsp; The level of GPG you need will depend on how much hardness is in your water and how many people are in your household. You can find out your water\u2019s hardness level through a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?k=water+softening+test+kit&amp;ref=nb_sb_noss_2&amp;linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=wfsveltz-20&amp;linkId=97923458e2cd9a4efa2780ace86990cd&amp;language=en_US\" rel=\"nofollow\">home testing kit<\/a>.<\/p>    <p>The grain capacity of most water softeners on the market is <strong>20,000-80,000<\/strong>. A smaller household with 2-3 people and two bathrooms needs a smaller to midsize softener of 20,000-grain capacity. A larger household of four or more people needs at least a 32,000-grain capacity. The larger the household and the larger the water hardness, the larger the grain capacity required.<\/p>    <p>It goes without saying that the larger the grain capacity, the larger the price of the softener.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"softener-types-salt-based-versus-salt-free\">Softener Types: Salt-Based Versus Salt-Free<\/h3>    <p>Traditional salt-based ion-exchange water softeners soften water by removing all minerals that cause water hardness. On the other hand, salt-free water <a href=\"https:\/\/waterfilterspot.com\/best-salt-free-water-softener\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer\">softeners<\/a>, also called water conditioners, do not actually remove these minerals. Instead, they crystalize the hard minerals so that they lose their ability to stick to pipes and plumbing.<\/p>    <p>When it comes to cost, salt-free softeners are comparable to salt-based softeners in cost. However, since they don\u2019t require electricity or produce water waste, you will save on power and water usage.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"installation\">Installation<\/h3>    <p>Installation costs of a water softener can also vary. The labor costs typically include the removal and disposal of a previous system (if applicable), preparing the pipes for the new system, and the materials required to secure the unit. The average cost to install a water softener ranges from $400-$3000. This is only a range , and the actual cost may be lower or higher.<\/p>    <p>In addition, some homeowners choose to install their systems themselves. Doing this obviously saves money if you know what you\u2019re doing.<\/p>    <p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/waterfilterspot.com\/water-softener-installation\/\">How to Install a Water Softener<\/a><\/strong><\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"maintenance\">Maintenance<\/h3>    <p>To maintain your water softener, you will need to refill the salt tank every few weeks (or longer, depending on how much water you use). Homeowners report that they pay approximately $10-$20 a month in salt.<\/p>    <p>Some water-softening systems include sediment filters, which should be replaced every 3-6 months. These vary in cost from $30-200 depending on the size and quality.<\/p>    <p>A professional inspection costs between $40-$100, and unless there are problems with your machine, you only need one every year or two.<\/p>    <p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/waterfilterspot.com\/water-softener-maintenance\/\">Water Softener Maintenance Checklist<\/a><\/strong><\/p>    <h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-long-do-water-softeners-last\">How Long Do Water Softeners Last?<\/h2>    <p>We usually don\u2019t this because there are so many factors involved, but when it comes to water softeners, you often \u201cget what you pay for,\u201d so to speak.

The retail cost is $445 less than SpringWell\u2019s. SpringWell\u2019s money-back guarantee is six months longer, and then there\u2019s the cost of installation, depending on if you need the system professionally installed.<\/p>    <p>The fact that both companies continuously offer sales is also something to keep in mind. More than likely, you won\u2019t be buying either system at retail cost.<\/p>    <p>Both of these companies are top brands in the water softening industry, and they sell high-quality water softening solutions.<\/p>    <p><strong>Other Pre-Buying Considerations <\/strong><\/p>    <p>Many people just go out and buy a water softener without actually testing their water to see the level of water hardness, and they end up buying one with either a too large or too small grain capacity.<\/p>    <p>It is essential that you test your water prior to shopping for a water softening system, so you know exactly what you need. Also, this will show you if you have any other water issues that need to be addressed, such as unwanted contaminants. Keep in mind that a softener will not filter out common contaminants, so you may need an additional water filtration system if you don\u2019t already have one.
