Tackling San Antonio's Hard Water Issues
Scale Build-Up Prevention
Hard water causes scale build-up in pipes and appliances, reducing efficiency and lifespan. Water softeners prevent mineral deposits, protecting your plumbing investment.
Spotless Dishes & Fixtures
Say goodbye to water spots, film on dishes, and soap scum on fixtures. Soft water leaves everything cleaner and shinier with less scrubbing.
Better Soap Performance
Soft water requires less soap and detergent because it lathers better. Save money on cleaning products and get better results.
Softer Clothes & Towels
Hard water makes fabrics stiff and dingy. Soft water keeps clothes, towels, and linens feeling softer and lasting longer.
Healthier Skin & Hair
Hard water can cause dry, itchy skin and dull, frizzy hair. Soft water is gentler, leaving your skin and hair feeling healthier.
Extended Appliance Life
Water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines last longer with soft water. Prevent costly repairs and replacements.
How Water Softeners Work
Hard water is a common issue in San Antonio, TX, causing problems such as scale build-up in pipes and appliances and leaving residue on dishes and fixtures. That's where water softeners come in. Our team of Master Plumbers is here to provide the information and services you need to enjoy the benefits of soft, clean water in your home.
The Water Softening Process:
- Ion Exchange: Water softeners use resin beads that attract and trap calcium and magnesium (hard water minerals)
- Soft Water Output: The treated water flows through your home without the minerals that cause hardness
- Regeneration: Periodically, the system flushes the resin beads with salt brine to remove trapped minerals
- Continuous Protection: The cycle repeats automatically, providing consistently soft water
Important Add-Ons: Ask us about Reverse Osmosis for drinking water. If you want to get the most out of your water softener, ask about a De-Chlorinator. After all, the chlorine is what ruins the media in the softener tank and may cause itchy skin and frizzy hair.
Proper water pressure regulation also protects your water softener from damage and extends its lifespan.

Water Softener FAQs
How much does water softener installation cost in San Antonio?
Water softener installation costs vary based on system size, type, brand, and installation complexity. At 210 Plumber, we offer phone quotes for most installations. Call us at 210-758-6237 for transparent pricing. We'll assess your water hardness, household size, and needs to recommend the right system and provide accurate pricing.
How hard is San Antonio's water?
San Antonio's water is considered very hard, typically ranging from 12-20 grains per gallon (GPG) or 205-342 parts per million (PPM). This high hardness causes significant scale buildup in pipes and appliances. Our master plumbers can test your specific water hardness and recommend the appropriate softener size.
Should I install a de-chlorinator with my water softener?
Yes! We strongly recommend installing a de-chlorinator before your water softener. San Antonio's chlorinated water damages softener resin beads over time, reducing efficiency and requiring more frequent replacement. A de-chlorinator protects your investment, extends system life, and provides additional benefits like healthier skin and hair.
How often do I need to add salt to my water softener?
Most households need to add salt every 4-8 weeks, depending on water usage and hardness levels. Check your brine tank monthly and keep it at least 1/4 full. Use high-purity salt pellets or crystals—avoid rock salt or salt with additives. We can show you proper maintenance procedures during installation.
Will a water softener make my water safe to drink?
Water softeners remove hardness minerals but don't purify water. San Antonio's water is safe to drink before and after softening. However, softened water contains slightly more sodium. For the highest quality drinking water, ask us about Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems, which remove impurities, improve taste, and provide bottled-water quality from your tap.
How long do water softeners last?
Quality water softeners typically last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. Installing a de-chlorinator beforehand can extend this to 15-20+ years by protecting the resin. Proper water pressure also prevents damage. We recommend annual professional check-ups to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
