We have been serving South Carolina for over 40 years. Our team has installed thousands of systems and our customers count on us for high quality service and our knowledgeable staff. We remind you every year when your system is due for service. We cater to DIY or we can service for you. We are available 24/7 to answer questions or provide emergency services. Our units are available with a remote diagnostics option which helps cut down on unnecessary call outs. Our customers keep coming back to us year after year for service and upgrades. Let us help you find the perfect system to meet your needs.

"I contracted Southlantic April 22nd to install a sprinkler system in my yard. They told me because of their high volume it would be 6 weeks before they could do the work. I agreed. The day before the installation I received a email stating they were moving the installation out another 6 weeks. I called and talked to Lisa about the change. She told me she forgot to call me but unexpected issues occurred and had no choice. They moved the installation out to June 30. They didn’t show so I called and was told they couldn’t find me on the schedule even though they sent a email to confirm the the June 30th schedule. I was transferred to Lisa and she informed my that they couldn’t find help for the installations and had forgotten to call me about the issue. I canceled the work and hope to find a more reliable company. In my opinion Soutlantic is one of most unreliable company’s I have ever delt with. Lisa and their scheduling staff should be looking for another line of work. Angi I used your recommendation to hire them. In the future I will think twice about your recommendations. Art Dunnier"

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.
