Here’s the bare-bones truth: a basic system can start around $1,000. That’s installed, usually. You’re getting the “house brand” of clean water.
But wait. The fancy stuff? The systems that make your water taste like mountain spring? They can easily hit $5,000. Some mega-systems go past $10,000.
Why such a gap? Because water is a drama queen. What’s in your water determines what you need to kick out.
Your Water’s Secret Life (And Why It Costs Money)
Do you have hard water? That’s the stuff that leaves white crust on your showerhead. It’s mineral buildup, and it’s annoying.
Maybe you’ve got chlorine that smells like a public pool. Or iron that stains your sinks a rusty orange. Each villain requires a different hero.
The more villains in your water supply, the more expensive the hero system. It’s a simple, weird math problem.
