Houston Hard Water Solution
Water Softener Installation in Houston
Houston water runs 136-234 ppm hardness — that's hard enough to damage your plumbing, appliances, and skin. We install professional-grade water softeners starting at $2,965. Free consultation, same-week installation, no pressure.
What Hard Water Does to Your Houston Home
Houston's water comes from a mix of surface water and groundwater — and that groundwater picks up calcium and magnesium as it flows through underground limestone. The result is hard water, typically measuring 8-14 grains per gallon (136-234 ppm).
That might not sound like much, but it adds up:
Scale Buildup
- • White crusty deposits on faucets, showerheads, and glass doors
- • Scale inside pipes that restricts water flow over time
Appliance Damage
- • Water heaters lose up to 29% efficiency with scale buildup
- • Dishwashers, washing machines, and ice makers fail sooner
Skin & Hair Issues
- • Hard water doesn't rinse soap completely — leaves residue
- • Dry, itchy skin and waxy, flat hair after showers
Wasted Money
- • Use 50-75% more soap and detergent
- • Higher energy bills from inefficient water heater
- • Premature appliance replacement
A water softener eliminates all of this. It pays for itself in 2-4 years through energy savings, fewer repairs, and longer appliance life. That's why 99% of hospitals, schools, and commercial buildings have them.
How a Water Softener Works
A water softener uses a process called ion exchange to remove calcium and magnesium from your water before it reaches your pipes, appliances, and faucets.
Inside the system is a tank filled with resin beads. As hard water passes through, the beads attract and hold the hardness minerals, releasing sodium ions in exchange. The result: soft water throughout your entire home.
The system regenerates automatically — flushing the collected minerals down the drain and recharging the resin. You just add salt every few months. That's it.

Get Your Custom QuoteIs a Water Softener Right for You?
You probably need a softener if...
- You see white scale buildup on fixtures or glass
- Your skin feels dry or itchy after showers
- You have a tankless water heater (very sensitive to scale)
- You're replacing appliances more often than expected
- Your water hardness tests above 7 GPG (most of Houston)
You might NOT need a softener if...
- •You're on a sodium-restricted diet and can't use potassium chloride
- •You rent and can't modify plumbing
- •Your water tests below 3 GPG (rare in Houston)
- •You only care about drinking water taste (RO is cheaper for that)
