You can buy a water softener and filtration system from the people that call you for $3,000-$5,000. You do not need it. The water is a bit hard but not bad tasting. I think it has a lot of lime stone in it. We bought a softener from Home Depot and a whole house charcoal filter. If you are handy and ambitious you can install them yourself. I would rather play golf and pickleball so I hired a plumber. As I recall, this was last March after all, The softener, filter and installation was pretty close to $725.00. We like the soft water and have had a water softener for about 35 years in 4 different homes.
