Serving the Texas Hill Country & San Antonio since 1989
Water softeners, whole-house filtration, reverse osmosis and well water treatment, sized and installed by WQA-certified, Texas Class 3 licensed technicians. Hill Country water is hard, so water softeners are where most jobs start. Free on-site water test, free estimate.
Typical hardness — Bexar & the Hill Country
Limestone aquifers put it there. A private well usually adds iron, sulfur and sediment on top. Twenty minutes on site tells you your exact number — free.
Hill Country groundwater runs through limestone, so it arrives loaded with calcium and magnesium. Private wells add iron, sulfur, sediment and bacteria on top. The fix depends entirely on what is actually in your water which is why we test first.
Scale on fixtures and glassware, spotty dishes, a water heater working harder than it should, stiff laundry and dry skin. A properly sized softener stops it at the source.
Iron and manganese staining, rotten-egg sulfur odor, sediment that clogs fixtures, and hardness well above city levels. Most softener companies won’t touch a well. We have since 1989.
Chlorine, chloramine and off-tastes at the tap that a softener alone will not remove. Carbon filtration and reverse osmosis handle what softening cannot.
Not sure which one you have? We will tell you for free, on site.
One company for the whole chain — test the water, size the system, install it properly, and service it for as long as you own it. Including systems we did not install.
Right-sized ion-exchange softeners that stop scale before it reaches your plumbing, water heater and appliances.
Carbon and sediment filtration for chlorine, taste, odor and grit — clean water at every tap, not just the kitchen.
Under-sink RO for genuinely clean drinking and cooking water, with the dissolved solids a softener cannot remove.
Iron and manganese removal, sulfur odor filtration, sediment, UV purification and pH correction — built around your well.
Free on-site testing for hardness, iron, pH and more, so the system you buy matches the water you actually have.
Restaurants, salons, car washes and manufacturing — capacity-sized treatment with service that keeps you running.
A well is not a smaller version of city water. Iron stains, sulfur smells, sediment wears out valves and bacteria is a health issue, all on top of hardness that is usually worse than what the city delivers. Treating one properly means testing it, then stacking the right stages in the right order.
We are not a franchise and we are not a call center. The person who tests your water works for the company that installs and services it.
Deep roots in San Antonio and the Hill Country, and customers who have been with us for decades.
Every installation is done by a WQA-certified professional and a Texas Class 3 licensed technician.
Culligan, Rainsoft, Rayne, Kinetico, Hague, Sears, G.E., Water Boss and more — even if we did not install it.
A leaking or failed system does not wait for business hours. Neither do we.
Grain capacity and filter stages chosen from your test results and household use, not from a catalog page.
On-site water testing and a written estimate cost nothing, and there is no obligation attached.
Nobody should buy a water system from a brochure. Here is what actually happens.
We come to you and test what is coming out of your tap or your well — hardness, iron, pH, odor, sediment. It takes about twenty minutes and it costs nothing.
You get a written recommendation and a firm price based on your numbers and your household use. If a smaller system does the job, we say so.
Professional installation by a licensed technician, then ongoing service, salt, filters and 24/7 repair for as long as you own the system.
We install and service throughout Bexar, Comal, Kendall, Kerr, Gillespie, Bandera and Blanco counties.
Most of the region runs between 15 and 20+ grains per gallon, which is classed as very hard. Limestone aquifers dissolve calcium and magnesium straight into the groundwater. City supplies in San Antonio are hard too, but private wells are usually harder still and carry iron and sulfur on top.
Yes. We repair and maintain every major brand, including Culligan, Rainsoft, Rayne, Kinetico, Hague, Sears, General Electric, Water Boss, Alamo, Lindsay, DMS, Bruner and Star. Bringing us in does not void anything and does not require replacing your system.
A technician comes to your home or business and tests the water at the tap: hardness, iron, pH, odor and sediment, plus a look at your existing plumbing and equipment. It takes about twenty minutes. You get the numbers and a written recommendation, with no charge and no obligation.
On its own, usually not. A softener removes hardness, but it will not handle iron staining, sulfur odor, sediment or bacteria. Wells normally need a treatment train — pre-filtration, iron or sulfur removal, sometimes UV and pH correction — with softening as one stage. That is why we test before quoting.
Yes. We keep 24/7 availability for emergency repairs. A failed valve or a leaking tank does not wait until Monday, and neither should the fix.
It depends entirely on your water and your household size, which is why we will not quote a number before testing. What we will do is give you a firm written price after the test, and tell you honestly if a smaller or simpler system will do the job.
Hill Country water is hard, and that is the reason most people find us. Water softeners are the single most requested job we do, because hardness here commonly runs 15 to 25 grains per gallon.
Water softeners work by ion exchange, swapping calcium and magnesium for sodium before the water reaches your heater, fixtures and appliances. It is the only method that genuinely removes hardness.
Municipal treatment makes water safe rather than soft. Whether you are on San Antonio city supply or a Hill Country town system, hardness passes through to your tap and has to be handled in the house.
Outside the towns, a great many properties are on private wells. Those are unregulated and untested unless the owner arranges it, and they often need iron or sulfur removal before any softener.
Order of treatment matters. Sediment first, then iron and sulfur, then softening, then disinfection if bacteria are present. Water softeners installed ahead of iron removal fail early and expensively.
Sizing is arithmetic rather than opinion. Household size times daily use times grains per gallon gives the load, and water softeners are sized to regenerate every three to five days at that figure.
We test on site for free, anywhere in our service area, and we put the results in writing. A fair share of visits end with us recommending nothing at all.
Repair is as much of our work as installation. We service every major brand of water softeners and filtration, including systems we did not install, with 24/7 emergency callout.
We have done this since 1989 as a family business, with WQA-certified and Texas Class 3 licensed technicians, across San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country.
Not every household needs the same equipment. Some need water softeners alone, some need filtration alongside them, and some need a full well train. The test is what separates those cases.
Salt-free conditioners are often compared with water softeners. They reduce scale but do not remove hardness, so a test afterwards still reads high. Both have a place and we fit both.
If you already have water softeners installed, we can service them regardless of who supplied them, and we will say plainly when a repair is better value than a replacement.
| What you notice | Likely cause | What fixes it |
|---|---|---|
| Scale, spotting, poor lather | Hardness | Correctly sized water softeners |
| Pool smell or flat taste | Chlorine | Whole-house carbon filtration |
| Orange staining | Iron in well water | Iron filter ahead of the softener |
| Rotten egg smell | Hydrogen sulfide | Aeration or catalytic carbon |
| Cloudy after rain | Sediment from the well | Sediment pre-filtration |
| Flat drinking water | Dissolved solids | Reverse osmosis at the tap |
