Central Texas sits on limestone, so most homes here have very hard water — full of calcium and magnesium that scales your pipes, shortens the life of your water heater and appliances, spots your dishes, and leaves skin and hair feeling filmy. A properly sized water softener removes those minerals before they reach your home, solving all of it at once.
No Dealer Lock-In — We Install Fleck
Many companies install proprietary softeners, so you're stuck buying parts and service from that one dealer at their prices. We install Fleck control valves — the industry's most trusted, non-proprietary systems. Parts are inexpensive and available everywhere, and any water-treatment tech can service them. That means lower lifetime cost and no being held hostage by a single dealer.
Why Fleck systems
Built to last
Properly maintained, these valves run 10–20+ years. The design has been proven by professionals for decades.
Saves salt & water
Metered regeneration (e.g. Fleck 5600SXT/5810SXT) regenerates based on your actual usage — not a fixed timer — so you waste less salt and water.
Strong water pressure
Known for excellent flow rates — a great fit for larger homes with multiple bathrooms.
Cheap, easy repairs
Most fixes are inexpensive seals, pistons, or injectors — not a whole new unit — using widely available parts.
Not locked to a dealer
Almost any company can service a Fleck system. You're never stuck with one provider.
Simple to run
Straightforward settings for hardness, regeneration, and salt dosage — easy for any tech to troubleshoot.

What to expect
It starts with a free water test — we measure your hardness, TDS, and chlorine so we can size the softener correctly. We give you an honest recommendation and quote (no pressure), then handle a clean, professional installation. For service or repair on an existing system, our flat $150 service call covers the visit and a full diagnosis only — any repair (parts and labor) is quoted separately and approved before we do it.
