Hard water leaves scale on fixtures, shortens the life of your water heater and appliances, and makes soap less effective. Our range of softeners removes the minerals that cause it. If you’ve disliked softened water before, ask about our Enhanced Filtration systems that soften without the slimy feel.

Central Texas is hard-water country β€” see how hard the water is where you live, from moderately hard in Austin proper to very hard across much of Williamson County and the Hill Country. Trying to decide between salt-based and salt-free? Our water softener vs. salt-free comparison breaks down the trade-offs. Either way, we size every system to your measured hardness and household so it runs efficiently for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is the water in Central Texas?

It depends on your utility. City of Austin water is moderately hard (about 5–6 grains per gallon per state TCEQ sampling), but many surrounding systems β€” WCID 17, the West Travis County PUA, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander and Hutto β€” run about 10–11 gpg, and Georgetown can reach the high teens to 20. A free estimate confirms your exact level.

Will a water softener make my water feel slippery?

Traditional softeners can give water that silky-to-slimy feel. Our Enhanced Filtration systems are designed to deliver soft water without it, and they're approved for municipal water.

How much salt will a softener use?

It depends on your hardness and water use; our high-efficiency models meter salt precisely. We size the system so you're not buying or hauling more salt than necessary.

Can a softener run out of soft water?

A single-tank softener regenerates at night when demand is low. For larger households or constant demand, a Twin Alternating Platform keeps soft water flowing 24/7 with zero downtime.

Do softeners remove anything besides hardness?

Our Deluxe and Enhanced models add filtration media that also reduce chlorine taste and odor and some metals. For drinking water, pair a softener with reverse osmosis.
