Whole-home water softeners & filtration

Treat your water once, where it enters your home.

A whole-home system cleans and softens water at the main line, so every faucet, shower, ice maker, and appliance gets the same treated water. It’s the real fix for hard water scale, chlorine taste, and dry skin and hair.

What a whole-home system fixes

Almost every home in Dallas–Fort Worth deals with two things at once: hard water and chlorine. A whole-home system handles both.

Scale on faucets and glass

White crust on fixtures and spots on dishes and shower doors come from hard water minerals.

Water heater and appliance wear

The same scale builds up inside water heaters, dishwashers, and pipes, quietly shortening their lives.

Chlorine taste and smell

City water is treated with chlorine. It's safe, but you can taste it, smell it, and feel it.

Dry skin and dull hair

Soap doesn't rinse well in hard water. Most people notice softer skin and hair within the first week or two.

Our whole-home systems

Five systems, each built for a different home. Your free water test tells us which one fits, and every price is listed on our Pricing page.

36,000 grain

Standard Softener + Filtration

Softening and chlorine filtration in a single tank.
Softening resin removes the hardness minerals, and a layer of coconut-shell carbon takes out chlorine. One tank, one control valve, and a brine tank for salt. This is where most homes start.
Best for: Most 3–4 bedroom homes on city water

48,000 grain

XL Softener + Filtration

The same system with more capacity.
Identical setup to the Standard, with more softening capacity, so it regenerates less often. Choose it for bigger households, higher water use, or especially hard water.
Best for: Larger homes, bigger families, or harder water

48,000 grain

Dual Tank: City Water

Separate softening and carbon tanks.
One tank softens and a second, dedicated carbon tank removes chlorine and cleans itself by backwashing. Giving each its own tank means more capacity and better performance at high water use.
Best for: Large homes, heavy water use, or heavily chlorinated water
Well water

Dual Tank: Well Water

Made for iron, sulfur, and rotten-egg smell.
Well water has different problems than city water. This system pairs a softening tank with a Katalox Light tank that removes iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide, the causes of orange stains, metallic taste, and that sulfur smell.
Best for: Homes on a private well
No salt

Salt-Free Water Conditioner

Scale protection without salt or a drain.
A conditioner changes hardness minerals so they don’t stick to pipes, fixtures, and your water heater. No salt, no brine tank, and no drain line needed. To be upfront: it prevents scale, but it doesn’t remove hardness, so you won’t get the slippery soft-water feel.
Best for: Salt-free households or homes without drain access

Why it's worth it

Protects your biggest investments

Water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, and plumbing all last longer without scale building up inside them.

Feels better every day

Soap lathers and rinses clean, so skin feels less dry and hair feels softer. It’s usually the first thing people notice.

Less cleaning

No more scrubbing white crust off faucets or spots off glasses and shower doors.

Common questions

It depends on where your water comes from. If you’re on city water, we can usually recommend the right system over the phone. We’ll ask a few quick questions about your home and household, and we already know a lot about local city water. If you’re on a private well, we’ll come out and test your water for free first, since every well is different. Already had your well tested recently? Send us the results, and we may be able to skip the visit. Either way, if you don’t need a system, we’ll tell you that too.

A softener on its own doesn’t. That’s why our Standard, XL, and Dual Tank City Water systems include carbon filtration, so they take care of hard water and chlorine together. Well water usually isn’t chlorinated, so our Dual Tank Well Water system focuses on hardness, iron, manganese, and sulfur smell instead.

Most households add a bag of salt about once every one to two months. It depends on how hard your water is and how much water your family uses. Adding it is easy: lift the lid on the brine tank and pour the bag in. Our salt-free conditioner never needs salt at all.

No. Softening adds a small amount of sodium to your water, but not enough to taste salty. If you’re watching your sodium closely, you can pair your system with one of our drinking water systems, which removes sodium from the water you drink and cook with, or choose our salt-free conditioner.

A softener removes the hardness minerals from your water, giving you true soft water: no spots, better lather, and that smooth feel. A salt-free conditioner leaves the minerals in but changes them so they don’t stick to your pipes, fixtures, and water heater. Both protect your plumbing from scale, but only a softener gives you truly soft water. The conditioner is a great fit if you’d rather not use salt or don’t have a drain nearby.

 

Yes. Professional installation is included with every whole-home system, so the price on our Pricing page is the price you pay to have it installed.

Your system’s core components are covered for life: the Hankscraft ceramic disc control valve, the fiberglass mineral tank, and the brine tank. These are the heavy-duty parts that do the real work, and they’re built to last. The electronic controls and the filter media inside the tank are covered for 5 years. If you ever have a question about your coverage, just give us a call.

Most installations take about three to four hours and are finished in a single visit. Your water will be off for part of that time, and we’ll let you know before we shut it off. When we’re done, we’ll show you how your system works and clean up before we leave.
