Do you have plumbing you don't want to have softened (e.g. a sprinkler system)?

I paid Culligan's to do their thing, but my adventures in plumbing go as far as installing toilets and random acts of caulking.
If a water softener fell from the sky, I'd duck.
It's old. I have no idea what I'm doing. Any estimate on what calling someone will cost assuming it's something simple?? I am new to doing anything but calling the landlord.
