With over 15 years of experience, Pete’s Plumbing specializes in commercial & residential plumbing services including bathroom remodels and basement finishes. Now servicing Big Lake, Zimmerman, & Princeton areas as well as the greater Twin Cities metro. Call or text Jeremy at 763.234.8187, today!

"I have renovated over twenty properties in several Minnesota counties. I work with several plumbers and most of them are honest and ethical. I believe at one time Jeremy was honest but is now using his companies reputation to over charge customers. I called Jeremy because I needed two copper pipes installed for a water softener. I explained that I would install and setup the water softener. Over the phone he quoted that his charges would be under $200.00 to install two copper pipes. Jeremy arrived at our property and worked from 3:00 pm to 3:20 pm. I then engaged Jeremy in conversation and he required $225.00 for twenty minutes of work. I challenged his extreme charges and he continued to claim that he is the cheapest plumber in the area. He explained that other plumbers complain that Jeremy is too cheap and hurt their pricing. This places Jeremy's hourly rate at over 600.00 an hour. Jeremy then handed me a time and material invoice for $225.00 and demanded full payment. I paid Jeremy in full but this is a warning that this company is defrauding and cheating innocent people in Anoka county. I intend to file a complaint with the department of commerce and other agencies to require that plumbers be regulated by government agencies. Plumbers such as Jeremy are overcharging and are worse than the most expensive attorney."

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.
