A softener that is sized to the house next door will not fix yours. Here is what a real installation involves and what decides the price.
The single most common mistake in this industry is selling one configuration to every house on the street. Hardness varies street to street, and a private well is a different problem than city water. SolarPure measures your water first, shows you the numbers, and sizes the system to them. The test is free and carries no obligation, and you keep the results whether or not you buy anything.
Anyone quoting a flat price before seeing your water is guessing at all five.
A whole home system goes in at the point where water enters the house, so every tap downstream is treated. The SolarPure control valve is self-cleaning, and it is built to keep water, salt, and electricity use down over the life of the system. And where there is no power at the point of entry, the system can run on solar.
A softener removes the calcium and magnesium that cause scale. It does not remove taste, odor, iron, or sulfur. If your complaint is a rotten egg smell or orange staining rather than scale and spotting, the answer is sulfur treatment or an iron filter ahead of the softener, not a bigger softener. Most homes that are unhappy with their water need a combination, which is exactly what the test settles.
If yours has stopped making soft water, that is often a repair rather than a replacement. See water softener repair.
It depends on your water hardness, your household size, and whether you are on city water or a well, so a responsible number comes after a test rather than before one. The free in-home water test costs nothing and carries no obligation.
A straightforward whole home installation is normally completed in a single visit. A well that also needs iron or sulfur treatment ahead of the softener is a larger build, which is one of the things the water test determines up front.
A softener handles scale, spotting, and soap that will not lather. A filter handles taste, odor, iron, and sulfur. They solve different problems, and plenty of homes need both. Testing the water is what tells you which.
