$2,999 installed, all-in, for city-water homes. Softener, whole-home filtration, professional installation, and taxes. That's the whole number. (On a private well? Fully loaded well systems run $5,500 to $6,000.)
A whole-home water softener with carbon filtration costs $2,999 installed from Michigan Water Pros for a standard city-water home, taxes and professional installation included. A comparable system from the brand-name guys typically runs $5,000 to $12,000, quoted after a salesman sits in your kitchen for three hours. Same equipment class, a fraction of the price, and you get the number up front instead of after a pitch.

GLWA-treated water across Metro Detroit measures about 100 mg/L, roughly 6 grains per gallon, per Detroit water quality reporting. That's moderately hard: enough to scale water heaters and fixtures, spot glassware, and dry out skin over time. The bigger documented issues in GLWA water are chlorine and disinfection byproducts, which is why our whole-home system pairs softening with carbon filtration instead of running a softener alone, and why the under-sink reverse osmosis upgrade is worth asking about.
For a standard city-water home, yes: equipment, professional installation, and taxes. If your home has an unusual setup (a tight crawl space, a long pipe run), we tell you the adjusted price before any work starts, never after.
Not until the job is done and you're happy. No deposit to get started.
About $265/mo with no credit check. Tell us on the call and we'll set it up.
No. The water report is free, and the quote is one honest phone call. No in-home visit, no pressure.
