In San Francisco, water hardness can significantly impact residential construction projects. With mineral-rich groundwater and treated reservoir supply, homeowners face challenges like clogged fixtures and reduced appliance lifespan. Installing a water softener is crucial to avoid costly callbacks and warranty issues. Typical installation costs range from $3,200 to $5,600, depending on the project scope.
Municipal water readings often range from 47-120 ppm, indicating soft to moderately hard water. Even low-grade hardness can leave residue on high-end finishes, making a water softener essential for maintaining quality and avoiding warranty claims.
