What $2,999* gets you:
water softener + RO questions, answered

The whole package is $2,999* with standard installation One whole house water softener, one under-sink reverse osmosis tap, one visit from licensed local plumbers in most homes. *Price is for the softener plus under-sink RO package with standard installation for a suitable utility-water home. Nonstandard plumbing, electrical or access work is quoted before agreement. Tell us your water source and where the kitchen sink sits, and you'll have a firm price before you commit.

Yes, for a standard installation, the number you're quoted is the number you pay, with nothing added on install day. If your home needs something outside the standard setup, like extra plumbing or a modified sink, that gets identified and put in writing ahead of time, so the price never changes after the fact.

The package covers the whole house water softener, the under-sink reverse osmosis tap and standard installation, full stop. It does not cover a plumbing loop, relocating a sink, new drain or power lines from elsewhere in the house, or treating private well water, which needs its own testing first; any of that is priced separately, in writing, before it is added.

Not as the standard package. Well water varies too much address to address for a one-size-fits-all setup, so it needs its own testing and a separate treatment plan first. Let us know you are on a well when you reach out, and we will talk through what your water actually needs.

Licensed local plumbers who do this every week, coordinated through DE Home Services, LLC, owner-operated by Thomas Doyle and insured. There is no separate pre-installation visit, so the plumber who arrives already has everything needed to finish the job in one appointment.

No, nothing is booked and no payment is taken on this website. A call, a text or the request form gets you a written price for your home, and you decide from there whether to move forward, with no obligation either way.

Most homes are done in a single visit. The exact time depends on where your water main and kitchen sink sit relative to each other and what the existing plumbing looks like, but you will have a time estimate before that day arrives.

Someone able to approve the work needs to be reachable, but that is the only requirement; everything about your plumbing and sink is worked out ahead of time, so there is no separate walkthrough visit. The appointment you book is the installation itself, start to finish.

Most kitchen sinks already have what the reverse osmosis tap needs: an existing hole or sprayer position, and enough room underneath for the unit and its storage tank. If yours needs to be changed to fit, that is identified and priced in writing ahead of time, before you agree to it.

Yes, across Orlando and the west Orange County and south Lake County suburbs, including Clermont, Winter Garden, Ocoee and Windermere, all for the same one-package price and the same licensed local plumbers. See our service area for the full list, with links to each town's page and its local water details.

The equipment that is right for your home is what you get, listed by name in your written quote before you agree to anything, so you always know exactly what is going into your house. We do not promise a specific brand here, because the right choice depends on your home, not a one-size-fits-all catalog.

Not much: top off the brine tank with salt or potassium now and then, and the softener's regeneration cycle keeps your water soft on its own. The reverse osmosis membrane and filters get replaced on a schedule shown to you at install, to keep the water tasting its best.

Yes, enough to leave scale on fixtures and dull glass shower doors over time. Orlando-area utilities draw from the Floridan aquifer, a layer of limestone that adds dissolved calcium and magnesium to the water, and OUC, which serves Orlando, lists the average hardness of its water at about 129 parts per million.

Not automatically; it depends on what is actually coming out of your tap, not just your neighborhood. Florida groundwater commonly carries the calcium and magnesium that make water hard, and a whole house water softener is a common fix for that: no more scale on fixtures, softer water throughout the house.

Different results for different problems. A whole house water softener stops scale and leaves water softer throughout the house by swapping out calcium and magnesium; a filter at the kitchen tap, which is what our reverse osmosis system provides, is about water that tastes better for drinking and cooking. Most homes end up wanting both.

Salt-based actually removes hardness minerals from the water, which is why it is the only kind we install: ion exchange, using salt or potassium to recharge the resin, so you get real scale-free results at every tap. Salt-free conditioners work on a different principle and are not part of what we sell; if that is what you are after, we would rather tell you up front that this is not the right company for that job.

No, installation only, including systems we did not install ourselves. If your existing softener needs a repair, we are not the right call for that, though we are always glad to talk about a fresh whole-home installation instead of a patch job.

Any grocery store, hardware store or home improvement store carries it; we do not sell salt ourselves or push a specific brand. Your written quote tells you exactly what your system needs, so you know what to buy and how much to keep on hand.
