Water softeners come in all shapes, sizes, and brands, which can make it difficult to know which one will last the longest. One of the biggest factors in choosing a water softener is the price. A lot of consumers look for the cheaper option—let’s be honest, we’re all trying to find a deal when we shop. But, going the cheaper route in regards to large home appliances, is not always the smartest option. Cheaper appliances, like anything else you purchase for a deal, don’t last as long and come with extensive repairs down the road.

Big-box stores such as Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, Sears, and others, all compete with lowest prices. These water softeners are typically replaced 75% more often than a high-quality American made water softener. Why? Most people buy them for their extremely low price without realizing they A) only last a few years, B) there are no local service companies to service them, and C) most people do not have the technical experience to service their own water softener as needed. Most people would agree quality control is always sacrificed to meet the lowest price. Unfortunately, online stores are no different than the big-box stores. All competing with lowest prices, customers fall into the same trap as the big-box stores—a cheap water softener that doesn’t last long and no one to service them. 

At Ohio Valley Pure Water, we offer high quality American made whole home water softeners at wholesale prices. On average, 50-75% less than our competitors. Our high efficiency salt-based water softener comes in four different models to choose from and starts at $2,198, including a standard installation. Better yet, this will likely be the last water softener you ever buy because when something breaks down we replace the part, not the whole water softener. Ohio Valley Pure Water customers get an average of 25 year lifespan out of their water softener.
