"We are very pleased! Instead of listening to a hurry up and contract with us style, this small, family owned company listened to our needs and discussed their solutions.

This system is much sturdier and is made with locally available parts as well. They had EVERYTHING they needed on their truck and even offered to upgrade ( at no charge!) our by-pass valve that was installed before we bought our house 40 years ago! They showed us how easy it is to run and maintain. A+"

About Dohm Well Drilling in Dowagiac, Michigan DohmDrillingWellDrillingEdwardKellyDowagiacMI Get experience and professionalism you can trust for all your geothermal and traditional well drilling needs from Dohm Well Drilling Inc. in Dowagiac, Michigan. Our reliability is built into the company itself. We are a family-operated firm that has been doing business since 1954. Harold Schaus III also owns Ramona Roller Rink and Mini Golf in Sister Lakes, Michigan. It's a great place to find him on weekends if you have a pump or well problem. Harold is the oldest of the boys and has his Michigan Well Drillers license. When Harold III was growing up, he used his little red wagon and a small wooden ladder as his drilling rig. He would stand the ladder up behind his wagon and, using a hammer, he would pound pipe into the ground. He was playing Well Driller. One of his old play wells had to be pulled out of the ground by his dad with a drilling rig. Joseph Schaus, next to the youngest in the family, is book smart. He was the one that started using the rotary type drilling and has made the business what it is today. Joe does the directional boring and most of the drilling, along with running the business. He is the boss, unless our mom tells him otherwise. Joe has both Michigan and Indiana well drilling licenses. Edward Kelly Schaus does the hooking up of wells and service calls. Kelly, as he is called, always has a big smile on his face and is attracted to shiny things. If he sees scrap metal lying around, he will ask if you would like him to haul it away for you. With his scrap-hauling money, he has been focusing on his passion for model T cars. DohmDrillingWellDrillingEdwardKellyDowagiacMI DohmDrillingWellDrillingaboutusDowagiacMI

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.
