Who We Help With Water Softener Installation

Eliminating Hard Water Issues

Central Texas has some of the hardest water in the country, typically ranging from 15 to 30 grains per gallon. If you've moved here from somewhere else, you've probably already noticed the difference.

Water softener installation solves multiple problems at once. From the moment soft water starts flowing through your home, you'll notice the benefits on your skin and reduced limescale. Beyond what you see and feel daily, a water softener protects your plumbing system and extends the life of every appliance that uses water.

Softer Skin and Hair

After a few months in Central Texas, you've probably noticed your skin feels tight and dry after showers, and your hair looks dull no matter what products you use. Our hard water prevents soap and shampoo from rinsing completely, leaving mineral residue that dries out your skin and hair.

A water softener removes the calcium and magnesium causing this, so you'll notice softer skin, shinier hair, and you won't need as much lotion or conditioner.

Reducing Lime Buildup

That white crusty stuff on your faucets, showerheads, and glass? That's lime scale from Central Texas hard water, and it builds up fast.

Soft water eliminates the calcium and magnesium that create these deposits. Your bathroom and kitchen stay cleaner with less scrubbing, and your showerheads won't clog with mineral buildup every few months.

Cleaner Dishware and Softer Clothes

You run the dishwasher and your glasses still have white spots. Your dark clothes look faded after just a few washes. That's hard water interfering with your detergent.

Soft water lets soap and detergent work the way they're supposed to, so your dishes come out actually clean and sparkling, and your clothes stay brighter and softer longer. You'll also use less detergent since it lathers properly in soft water.

Extending Plumbing and Appliance Lifespan

Central Texas hard water deposits scale inside your pipes, water heater, dishwasher, and washing machine faster than you'd expect. It reduces efficiency and shortens their lifespan significantly.

A water softener protects your entire plumbing system and all water-using appliances from this mineral buildup. Your water heater works more efficiently, your appliances last years longer, and you avoid the expensive replacements that hard water causes.

Better Tasting Water

Central Texas water often has a mineral taste that affects your coffee, tea, and cooking.

Soft water tastes cleaner and lets you enjoy the true flavor of your beverages and food without that metallic or chalky taste our hard water adds. You'll notice the difference the first time you make coffee with soft water.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size water softener do I need?

It depends on your household water usage and your water hardness level. We calculate the right size based on the number of people in your home, your daily water consumption, and the grains of hardness in your water supply. Central Texas water typically ranges from 15 to 30 grains per gallon of hardness.

During our assessment, we'll test your water hardness and recommend a water softener with adequate capacity to handle your household needs without regenerating too frequently or wasting salt and water.

How does a water softener work?

A water softener uses an ion exchange process to remove calcium and magnesium minerals from your water supply. Hard water flows through resin beads that capture the hardness minerals and replace them with sodium ions. When the resin becomes saturated with minerals, the system regenerates by flushing with salt brine, which recharges the resin beads and sends the captured minerals down the drain.

We install the water softener on your main water line so all water entering your home passes through the system, delivering soft water to every tap, shower, and appliance.

Where does a water softener get installed?

The water softener installs on your main water line after it enters your home but before it reaches your water heater and fixtures. This ensures all water flowing through your plumbing gets softened. The system also needs access to a drain for the regeneration discharge and a nearby electrical outlet for the control valve.

We'll assess your home's plumbing configuration and find the best location for installation, typically in a garage, utility room, or basement where there's space for both the softener tank and the brine tank.

How often do I need to add salt?

It depends on your water hardness, household water usage, and the size of your brine tank. Most households need to add salt every 4 to 6 weeks. You should check the salt level monthly and refill when it drops to about one-quarter full.

We'll show you how to check salt levels and what type of salt to use during installation. Regular salt maintenance ensures your water softener continues regenerating properly and delivering soft water.

Will soft water feel different?

Yes. Soft water feels slicker or more slippery than hard water because soap lathers better and rinses off completely. Without hard water minerals interfering, you'll use less soap and shampoo. Your skin and hair will feel softer, and you won't have that dry, tight feeling after showering.

Most people adjust to soft water quickly and prefer it once they experience the benefits: cleaner dishes without spots, brighter laundry, less soap scum in showers, and softer skin and hair.

How long does a water softener last?

A properly maintained water softener typically lasts 15 to 20 years. The resin tank and resin beads can last decades, though the control valve and other components may need replacement over time. Regular maintenance, using the correct type of salt, and protecting the system from sediment extend its lifespan.

Annual maintenance through our Jolly Roger That! Club helps identify potential issues early and keeps your system running efficiently for its full lifespan.

Do water softeners waste water?

Water softeners do use water during the regeneration cycle to flush minerals from the resin and recharge it with salt. Older timer-based systems regenerate on a schedule regardless of actual water usage, which can waste water and salt. Modern demand-initiated regeneration systems only regenerate when needed based on how much water you've actually used, making them much more efficient.

We install efficient water softeners that minimize water and salt waste while still delivering soft water throughout your home.

Can I drink softened water?

Yes, softened water is safe to drink. The softening process exchanges calcium and magnesium for sodium, which adds a small amount of sodium to your water. For most people, this amount is negligible. If you're on a sodium-restricted diet, you can install a separate tap with unsoftened or filtered water for drinking.

Many homeowners combine a water softener with a reverse osmosis system for drinking water, getting the benefits of soft water throughout the home plus purified drinking water at the kitchen sink.

Will a water softener remove chlorine or other contaminants?

No. Water softeners specifically remove hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) through ion exchange. They don't remove chlorine, chemicals, heavy metals, or other contaminants. If you want to address both hard water and water quality issues, we can install a water softener along with a water filtration system.

Many homeowners in Leander and our wider service area install both systems to get comprehensive water treatment: soft water throughout the home plus filtered water that removes chlorine, chemicals, and other contaminants.
