An estimate, not a guarantee. Your numbers depend on your water, your home and your habits. Enter your ZIP code to use your local hardness; until then it assumes 10 grains.
Sources: Water heater efficiency: WQRF and Battelle (gas tank heaters lost up to 48% efficiency on hard water; the calculator uses a conservative middle value). Detergent: WQRF laundry and dishwasher studies (about 30% less at 10 gpg, nearly 70% less at 25 gpg). Fixtures: Battelle (low-flow shower heads clogged in about 18 months on hard water). Appliance figures are our own conservative estimate until customer data replaces them.

Do I need a water test before I buy?
Usually not. If we have water data for your ZIP code or a nearby one on the same supply, we quote from it. The free mail-in kit is for well water, ZIP codes we don't have data for, and anyone who wants proof. It's never required to buy.
Who installs my system?
A licensed, insured plumber near you from our partner network. The system is delivered or reserved before they head out.
Why don't system pages show a price?
Every installed system is sized to your water and home, and your plumbing changes the install. The cost pages show estimate ranges, and a rep gives you the exact price on a short call.
What is the filter subscription?
If you pick it at checkout, new filters ship every 6 months to your saved card. Swap them yourself with our how-to videos, or book a plumber to do it.
