Indicative Canadian installed range

$800–$2,500

For your city water, a practical treatment stack is: whole-home carbon filter. Installed costs below are typical Canadian ranges — a local pro will confirm sizing after hardness and contaminant levels.

  1. Whole-home carbon filter$800–$2,500
  2. Water softenerOptional$1,200–$3,500
  3. Under-sink reverse osmosisOptional$400–$1,500

These are typical Canadian installed bands, not a quote. Labour, plumbing access, permits, flow rate and lab results change the number. Softeners are not assumed on every municipal supply — Toronto Lake Ontario water, for example, is often not hardness-driven.
