Cost to Replace a Water Softener
Replacing a water softener in Canada typically costs $1,200 to $3,500 for a standard salt-based unit installed by a plumber, with higher-capacity or more complex setups reaching $5,500 or more. The final figure depends on system type, grain capacity, and installation complexity. This guide covers what drives that range and how to decide whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
