Water Softener Installation in Longmont, CO

Longmont is supplied by Longmont City of, which draws surface water. That one fact does more to predict whether a softener is worth it here than anything a salesperson will ask you on the phone.

The short version

The supplier for Longmont is Longmont City of, drawing surface water. Water taken from a river or a reservoir has had little chance to pick up hardness, and often does not need treating. Whether a softener is worth installing turns on the hardness figure that supplier publishes each year, not on anything assessed over the telephone.

SoftenWell is a referral service, not an installer. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. We install nothing, we sell no equipment, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

You do not need a test kit to start. Longmont City of publishes hardness in its annual water quality report, free to read. It will be given in milligrams per liter. Softeners are sized in grains per gallon, and one grain is about 17 mg/L.

Work out your grains per day before anyone quotes you. Oversizing is the common and expensive mistake. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
