"Carini installed my mini splits a few years ago and promised me the world with their warranties. Well, turns out they botched something during the install and all of the refrigerant leaked out. They want $2,200 to refill and re-pressurize the line. Since they cross-threaded the screw that led to the leak during installation, this should be covered under the "Lifetime Craftsmanship" guarantee. Instead, they're trying to charging me a full day of labor to fix their mistake. Support on this issue has been dismal. It's been 16 days since they first diagnosed the problem and I still don't have a timeline for when this will get fixed. I chose Carini because of their warranties and their service record, but its all smoke and mirrors. You've been warned."

With over 16 years of water treatment and plumbing experience, Kraken water systems has serviced all types of water softeners, and reverse osmosis systems. From the lowest cost DIY under the counter units, to systems that provide millions of gallons daily of pure water to local Avocado groves. Kraken Water Systems was established in 2020. At Kraken Water Systems, we specialize in water softeners, and whole house water treatment filtration systems. With over 16 years of experience, we have come across all different types of installation situations, various types of water softeners, and straight up weird code-defying plumbing situations that need a little love. If it has to do with any type of water, whether clear, brown, red, or stinks like rotten eggs, we take care of it. We believe in extremely high quality profesional installations, at a fair and reasonable price. To be honest, i'm an extreme stickler for attention to details with all of my installations. I follow all state and local codes and guidelines, and maybe a minor OCD issue when it comes to how clean and level our plumbing must look. Living in San Diego, we are always being told to "prep for the BIG ONE", so every water softener or standing whole house system will be installed with earthquake straps, and all piping secured thoroughly. Over the years of working in the trades, I have learned one thing. There are true tradesman, and there are people getting paid to pose as tradesman. Give us a chance at protecting your outrageously priced San Diego dream home, with a reasonably priced water system that will protect your family, pipes, and fixtures for years to come.

Water softener services FAQs

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.
