How Much Does a Water Softener System Cost?

How Much Does a Water Softener System Cost?

We’re not sure why the Architectural Digest is diving deep into the nitty-gritty of water softener system costs. But it’s comprehensive and a treasure trove of tips and tricks, so we’ll take it! Here’s a quick run-down of different water softener systems, their costs, and how they are described in the article (price ranges for the system only):

• Magnetic Systems ($200 to $400): These use magnets to keep minerals out of water; cheaper but not as effective

• Ion Exchange Systems ($500 to $2,000): These swap out minerals in water with sodium or potassium; a popular choice

• Salt-Free Systems ($800 to $4,000): These treat water without adding extra salt; great for people watching their sodium intake

• Dual-Tank Systems ($1,000 to $5,000): These can handle a lot of water; perfect for bigger homes

• Water Distilling Systems ($1,200 to $4,000): These heat water to get rid of minerals; more complex and only make a small amount of soft water

• Reverse Osmosis Systems ($1,500 to $1,800): These push water through a special filter; the priciest option

The team covers so much more in the article like how the size of homes matter, how to figure out daily use amounts, and considering water hardness (including a quick explanation on grains per gallon calculations).

Northern Irelander Reviews Waterdrop, Says “Meh”

The Waterdrop A1 Reverse Osmosis Hot/Cold Water Dispenser is a fancy gadget with a cool LCD screen and easy setup. But Kurtis Reid from Northern Ireland says that’s about it. In his fiery article he points out how they’ve capitalized on the trend where people are picky about how hot or cold their water is. He says it does a solid job of getting water just right, hot or cold. But, when you think about it, it's kind of pricey at £500 ($634), especially when your kettle (for all the tea drinkers out there) or fridge can do pretty much the same thing for way less. It's great at stripping out bad stuff like radium and calcium from your water, but that's probably more exciting for places with iffy tap water. It's quiet and fast at heating and cooling, which is a plus. However, it's big and takes up a lot of counter space, and the cost and specific uses might be a bit much for the average home. It might make more sense in an office. Reid gives it 2 stars out of 5.

Anyone on a Public Water System Can Check Their Water Safety Test, Here's How

Every year, public water systems in the U.S., including those in Wisconsin where this article is from, have to test their water quality and share the results. Residents can check these results in the annual water quality report, also known as the "consumer confidence report," which should be sent with water bills by July 1st. The EPA has a handy tool on their website to find these reports for any place in the country, and they also have a guide to help folks understand what all the numbers and terms in the report mean. 

Prediction: The increased customer awareness and opportunities to educate folks on their reports will bring with it more business opportunities as well. (Or nobody will use the report and there will be no noticeable spikes in traffic, what do we know.)

What else is happening:

• Water infrastructure gets a boost as EPA announces $5.8B for drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure

• SpringWell releases article about understanding turbidity in drinking water

• Kinetico Advanced Water Systems in Raleigh, North Carolina was recognized as the top Kinetico Dealer in North America (more importantly, the awards ceremony will take place in Jamaica)
