Ion-exchange water softeners start around $400-$1,000 for a basic unit. Installation costs range from $100-$500 (depending on the type of equipment, ease of access and whether you need to add new piping and a suitable drain for the unit) for a total cost of $500-$1,500 for basic water softener in an average-size home.
Soft water will also improve water heater efficiency and leave no water spots on glassware in the dishwasher. A water softener company will charge $915 to install a good quality water softener system for a small house with one and a half bathrooms. If you have plumbing experience and tools, you can buy the unit and the installation kit for $495, the water softener installation cost, and save 45 percent. Carefully read the directions before deciding whether to install it yourself so that you understand everything that's involved.
