WATER SOFTeNERS

Water Softener Service and Installation in Central West Coast Florida

Very few areas see the types of water issues that we have here locally in Florida’s Suncoast region. While many homeowners try to use a big box water softener solution, or a water filtration system, sometimes those do-it-yourself products just can’t deliver exactly what you need to combat the issues that we see here in our area. Mineral buildup can wreak havoc on your home plumbing systems and leave your skin irritated. Not to mention, hard water can shorten the life of a home appliance by almost in half.

Climate Design Home Services has been serving the Bradenton, Clearwater, St. Pete, Sarasota, and Tampa areas for over fifty years. Our licensed plumbers can install and service professional-grade water softeners and water filtration systems that will eliminate hardwater issues and leave your skin and hair feeling like they should—clean and healthy.

Having Climate Design Home Services Install a Whole Home Water Softener System is Easy

So, when homeowners start researching options for water softener solutions, many times do it yourself solutions appear. However, taking the time to make sure that you get the right system for your exact problem—not so easy. Calling Climate Design Home Services is easy and our licensed team ensures that you get the right product specifically for your home. Since not all homes in our area have the same issue with water, it does and can vary from one home to the next depending on your water source. So, we use science and a laboratory to determine which issues you have. Plus, there are differences in the products themselves from water softeners, reverse osmosis systems, and water filtration. It truly depends on the issues that your home water has.

What Factors Affect the Cost of a Home Water Softener Replacement or Installation?

Given that your home is located within the Suncoast region of Florida, there are many types of water softener solutions. This is where Climate Design Home Services professional experience makes the difference.

  • 1. The capacity of the water softener

    High-capacity water softeners cost more to install. Climate Design Home Services plumbing experts will determine the best capacity for your needs depending on how much water your household uses—we will not oversell you. We also look at your laboratory results and how many water fixtures you have.

  • 2. The type of water softener

    With Climate Design Home Services, our team provides an array of water softeners. However, there are two main differences. First, there is an ion exchange softener and a salt-free water softener. Ion exchange softeners cost less to maintain over their lifespan than salt-free softeners. We install original equipment from the manufacturer and will deliver and install a system that will work for your home and your budget.

  • 3. The cost of the catalyst agent refill

    So, ion exchange softeners cost less to maintain because they use a cost-friendly catalyst agent refill. A catalyst agent is a solution used to help water softeners remove hard minerals from your water. This agent must be refilled regularly. Because of that, ion exchange water softeners are more affordable to maintain since they use a salt catalyst agent, which cost less than 50 cents a pound. Meanwhile, salt-free water softeners use a potassium-chloride agent, which costs around a dollar per pound—making the salt-free softener more expensive to maintain in the long run.

A Word about Municipal Water Treatment Sources

Even homes that connect to a municipal water source have issues here in Florida. It’s common to still need a water softener solution. Even though the water has been treated and safe to drink, often municipal water supplies remain hard. Plus, they do not prevent scale or skin issues.

Also, if you have municipal water, Climate Design Home Services will still have it sent to the lab to test. Even though you can get the latest information from your municipality, it’s always best to test. Results can differ based on when the tests were done, what standards were used and typically, independent labs focus more on testing for a broader range of contaminates.
