Water Softeners for Central Texas Hard Water
Fewer spots. Softer skin and hair. Protected appliances and plumbing. We right-size your system to your water report and household usage—then install it cleanly and code-compliant.
Do I need a Softener, a Filter… or Both?
A softener removes hardness minerals (scale/spots). A whole-home carbon filter targets disinfectants and tastes/odors. In Central Texas, chloramine is commonly used as the primary water treatment disinfectant for most homes on city water — so we often pair catalytic carbon with the softener to protect resin and significantly improve the life of the softener, as well as improve taste.
But How Do I Know if I Really Need a Water Softener?
Short answer:
If you’re in Central Texas and you’re seeing white spots, scale on fixtures, or dealing with dry skin/dull hair, a softener is the most effective way to stop those issues and protect your home’s plumbing and appliances.
What hard water is doing in your home
Leaves mineral scale on glass, tile, and fixtures (hard-to-remove white film).
Builds up inside water heaters, dishwashers, and coffee makers—reducing performance and shortening lifespan.
Makes soap and detergents work harder (you use more to get the same clean).
Contributes to dry skin, dull hair, and stiff laundry.
What a softener does:
Uses ion exchange to remove hardness minerals (primarily calcium and magnesium) before they move through your plumbing.
Runs on metered-demand cycles so it regenerates only when needed—efficient on salt and water.
When sized correctly to your plumbing size and peak flow, it softens without noticeable pressure drop.
What you’ll notice right away
Fewer spots on glassware and shower doors.
Soaps and shampoos lather better—you’ll typically use less.
Softer-feeling laundry, skin, and hair.
Appliances that run cleaner with fewer scale-related issues.
Common questions (quick hits)
“Will my water taste salty?” No—the sodium added during softening is minimal and generally not noticeable.
“Will it hurt my water pressure?” Not when it’s properly sized. We design around your home’s peak flow and line size.
“Is maintenance a hassle?” It’s simple: keep salt in the brine tank. We set up efficient settings and can provide optional reminders.
“Is it worth it?” Preventing scale helps extend appliance life significantly and reduces cleaning and detergent use—most homeowners find the day-to-day benefits obvious, as well as enjoy the life time of savings they bring.
Who might not need one
If your measured hardness is below ~3 grains per gallon, you may not see a meaningful benefit. We can test or review your city/well report and give an honest read.
