Is a water softener the same as a water filter?

No. A softener specifically targets the minerals that cause hardness, while a filter removes contaminants like chlorine, sediment and odor. Many homes benefit from both.

Will a softener affect my water pressure?

A properly sized system shouldn't cause a noticeable drop in pressure. We size the unit to your home's flow rate specifically to avoid this.

How much maintenance does a softener need?

Softeners need periodic salt refills, which most homeowners handle themselves, plus occasional professional service to check the resin bed.
