The part readings, priced apart by frame
| Part reading | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Brine tank and float | $125-$700 tank row | $150-$300 repair row |
| Resin bed and beads | $200-$400 beads row | $300-$600 media row |
| Visit overall | $160-$975 overall line | rows priced apart |
Each reading is one frame's own counting of one failed part: one failed part inside one repair visit, and per-part rows are never blended into an installation row.
The part rows, priced apart
| Part row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Control valve and head | in overall line | $150-$600 head row |
| Injector and venturi | in overall line | $150-$600 injector row |
| Motor and timer | in overall line | in $150-$600 head row |
| Filter and seal | $25-$500 filter row | $150-$600 seal row |
Frame A prints its component rows; Frame B prints its type rows beside them, and a row with no line in one frame stands as in that frame, never filled from the other.
The type rows, priced apart
| Type line, as published | Frame | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Control head or timer | Frame B | $150-$600 |
| Electrical rows | Frame B | $200-$500 |
| Reprogramming | Frame B | $150-$400 |
| Resin beads | Frame A | $200-$400 |
| Brine tank | Frame A | $125-$700 |
The type rows count a repair-type reading inside the visit alone: a new system going in is the installation hub's own field, named apart. The two frames count the same brine tank differently -- Frame A reads the brine tank as a component band at $125-$700, while Frame B reads brine tank repair as its own repair-type row at $150-$300, and the resin stands as beads in Frame A at $200-$400 against tank-and-media in Frame B at $300-$600. Those differences are named as frame differences on every page here, never averaged.
The totals behind the rows, and the neighbours named apart
Behind the rows: Frame A from a $25-$500 filter row to a $160-$975 overall line, Frame B tiers at $75-$150 and $800-$1,000+ beside its rows. The repair ticket against the replacement ticket prices apart on the companion guide. Named apart, never a row here: the water softener installation hub, its own field as an installation field pricing a new system going in; salt-free conditioners, a no-resin form on their own guide; reverse-osmosis systems, the filtration field on their own guides; whole-house filtration, priced on the whole-house filtration comparison; and whole-system replacement, a new system purchase read on the repair-vs-replacement guide under each frame separately.
