Back in the 1980's a small team of water professionals got together in Northern California with one goal in mind; to improve lives through better water. The target was not only to help families, but businesses alike! By 1993, we came to realize that there was only one manufacturer that would allow us to achieve this goal while also exceeding our customers' extraordinary expectations. This WAS, IS and ALWAYS will be Kinetico Water Systems. Today AAA Water Systems, Inc. is able to exclusively offer Kinetico; the world's best product line of non-electric water purification, filtration and softening systems. Now with over 40 years of water treatment expertise, we are a strong group of over 40 team members operating across the greater Northern California area.
"The water here in Manteca is terrible. It smells, tastes disgusting and leaves your skin dry and ashy. I research water softeners/purifiers online and with my neighbors and then contacted AAA Water Systems since they use the Kinetico water systems. I had an appointment with Damian Fernandez and he was very thorough in his explanations of the system, how it works, maintanence, future costs, just everything I needed to know to make an informed decision. And it was the best decision ! I know have purified water right at my sink from the reverse osmosis sytem and soft smell free water from all the taps. No more hard water deposits, no ashy skin and coarse hair. No more bottled water to drink or cook with. The installers were wonderful...prompt and professional. Everything spotless when they were done. They carefully explained and showed me how to use, maintain, and just in case, shut the system off. They also provide little measuring scoops for the proper amount of soap to use in the washing machine and the dishwasher."

"AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE NOT TRUSTWORTHY!!! On August 1st, 2024, I had Lee’s Air, Plumbing, Heating & Roofing come out to inspect my HVAC system. After examining the system, the technician informed me there was a short in the system but was unable to locate it or determine how to fix it. He recommended replacing the entire HVAC system and called his supervisor (Francisco Ramos) to confirm his assessment. The supervisor echoed the same conclusion and provided a quote for their cheapest system at $22,000. As a recipient of financial aid, affording $22,000 was out of the question, even with a payment plan, which would have cost around $200 a month. Despite our financial constraints, the supervisor offered no alternatives and promised to email the quote along with pictures he took in our attic. While we received the quote, the pictures were never sent. We decided to take matters into our own hands. The supervisor mentioned a potentially fried circuit board, but we suspected it might be a blown fuse. After purchasing a pack of fuses for $7 at Home Depot, we replaced the fuse, and our AC started working immediately. It is incredibly disheartening to realize that what was purported to be a $22,000 problem was actually resolved with a $3 fuse. Being charged $99 for a service call only to be pressured into purchasing a new system feels like a scam. We were without AC for three weeks, enduring triple-digit heat with only free-standing units to keep us cool. This experience left us feeling deceived and taken advantage of, particularly as a low-income household. We are extremely angry and intend to report this incident to the BBB. I have seen numerous similar complaints about Lee’s Air, Plumbing, Heating & Roofing, indicating a pattern of trying to sell new units instead of repairing existing ones. This practice is unethical and unacceptable. I strongly advise anyone in need of HVAC repair to seek other companies who genuinely aim to repair your unit instead of pushing for expensive replacements. Lee’s Air, Plumbing, Heating & Roofing has lost a loyal customer due to their shady business practices. Save your $99 and avoid this company at all costs."

The license requirements for water softener installation depend on your location. Some municipalities require that the installer hold a plumbing license, some require a permit and an inspection, but no license for the installer, and some require a permit and a license for the installer. Regardless of the local laws in your area, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed plumber or installer. These pros will install your system properly and have the experience to size the system appropriately. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your installer’s license status.
The cost to install a water softener system is $1,500 on average, ranging between $200 and $6,000. The labor for water softener work typically costs between $150 and $1,000, so you can add that to your equipment costs to get an accurate total. Your price will depend on many factors, including the following:
System capacity
Home size
Water hardness levels
Type of water softener
Presence of electricity in the installation area
Local permit costs
Water softeners are worth the money if you live in an area with hard water. Hard water is safe to drink, but it poses serious threats to your plumbing system. The minerals in hard water will gradually build up on the inside walls of your pipes, reducing water flow to your fixtures. The minerals can also gradually corrode your plumbing system, reduce its lifespan, and increase the risk of leaks. Hard water also makes soap and detergent less effective. Water softener systems can solve all these issues, making them a great investment.
It’s possible to install a water softener yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Water softeners require working with copper pipes and electrical wiring, neither are suitable tasks for most DIYers. Plus, working with water and electricity together is dangerous and could pose a risk to your safety. Water softeners also need to be calibrated so that they don’t make your water too soft, as soft water poses just as many risks as hard water. Overall, it’s well worth hiring a local water softener installer to place your water softener system.
Your water softener size is based on your total household water consumption. In most cases, you can assume the average household member will use around 75 gallons per day. Multiply that by the number of people in your home, then multiply by 10 (for the typical grains per gallon). You’ll get a number in grains that should help roughly size your water softener. However, it’s best to hire a professional to install your system and use more exact numbers, like your exact average water consumption per day and starting water hardness.
