Water softener installation in Fox Point, WI
About 8 grains per gallon · Fox Point’s published figure
Fox Point’s housing stock is old enough that the plumbing, not the water, is often the thing worth looking at. Eight-grain lake water treats easily; what varies here is what it runs through on the way to your fixture.

- Softeners retested to zero
$3,950 installed for the ZeroGrain One: softener, activated carbon and the reverse-osmosis drinking tap. Installation by an independent licensed Wisconsin plumbing contractor is in that number, not added to it, and the date is set once the equipment is in hand and approved for use in Wisconsin (SPS 384). What a softener costs explains what the $3,950 includes. Swapping out an old unit is replacing a softener; the drinking tap is reverse osmosis installation.

Questions
Fox Point water questions
Anything that is not here, ask it on the call.
Softening removes hardness minerals. It is not a health or safety treatment and we do not market it as one. On a private well, Wisconsin’s state-certified lab tests for bacteria and nitrates are a separate matter and not something we sell.
What softening is worth at 8 grains
Softening at about 8 grains is a judgment call rather than an obvious one, and honest advice depends on the house. The reverse-osmosis tap comes with the whole-home softener, not on its own, so the call tells you plainly whether that system earns its place.
Where the drinking-water tap goes
Reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink puts a dedicated filtered tap where you actually fill glasses.
How does the quote work in Fox Point?
We start from the number, not from a catalog: what Fox Point publishes, and what your house needs. One short call puts the two together, at no charge. If the numbers justify softening we size it from them; if they point away from softening, the call says so plainly. On install day the plumber reads hardness, iron, chlorine and TDS at your tap before anything is connected, and on a softener install retests hardness at the end so you watch it read zero.
