Pricing that does not need an appointment
Three packages, each with equipment, licensed installation and startup included. The number you see is the number you pay for a standard install, and we tell you in advance if your home is not standard.

Pricing questions
What exactly is included for $2,499?
A metered whole-home softener with catalytic carbon media, brine tank, sediment pre-filter and bypass, plus a 5-stage under-sink reverse osmosis system with its own faucet. Installation by a licensed plumber, startup, initial salt and a walkthrough are included for a standard install.
What counts as a standard install?
The main water line, a drain and a standard outlet all within reach of each other in a basement, garage or utility room, and a kitchen sink with cabinet space for the RO unit. Most DMV homes qualify. If yours does not, we tell you the added cost before anyone shows up.
What is the warranty?
10 years on tanks and control valves and 1 year on workmanship. Consumables (salt, pre-filters, RO cartridges) are not covered.
Do you offer financing?
Monthly payment plans through a third-party lender, subject to credit approval.
Why is your price so much lower than the quotes I got?
The parts are the same commodity components most dealers use: a metered control valve, ion-exchange resin, catalytic carbon and an NSF-certified RO membrane. The difference is what we do not do: showrooms, commissioned in-home sales appointments and franchise fees.
Can I see the equipment specs before I buy?
Yes. We send the model numbers, tank sizes, resin volume and certifications with your quote so you can compare like for like.
Do I need a permit?
Some jurisdictions require a plumbing permit for a softener installation. We handle it where required and include it in the price we quote you.
