Water Softener Installation FAQ
Where should a water softener be installed?
Your water softener needs to be installed where the main water line enters your home, before your water heater. Typically, this is in the basement or garage. We'll help determine the best location during your consultation.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed in 4-6 hours. We'll give you a specific timeline based on your home's setup.
Will it affect my water pressure?
A properly installed water softener shouldn't noticeably impact your water pressure. In fact, by preventing mineral buildup, it often improves flow over time.
