Whole-home filtration, the flagship system.

This is the system most Greater Austin homes need. It installs off your main water line so every faucet, shower, and appliance in the house gets treated water.

How it gets sized depends on your address. Austin Water delivers about 93 ppm total hardness, roughly 5.4 grains per gallon, because it runs a lime softening process at the plant. Cedar Park delivers 183 ppm, about 10.7 grains. Round Rock ranged from 184 to 358 ppm in 2024 depending on the blend of Lake Georgetown surface water and Edwards Aquifer groundwater. All three disinfect with chloramine rather than free chlorine, which is what the carbon stage is sized around.

What's actually in it

A single tank holds four media layers, with the control valve on top and the brine (salt) tank beside it:

• Carbon filtration handles chloramine and treatment by-products at the inlet, changing taste and odor before water reaches the softening stage.
• Water softening removes the hardness minerals that leave scale and spotting on fixtures, glassware and shower doors.
• Support bed anchors the media layers in place.
• Pressure vessel contains all four layers under line pressure. Sizing it correctly is what keeps flow steady when several fixtures run at once.

What it costs

We don't post a single number, because the right size depends on what your utility's report says about your address. Start with the free water assessment and you get the all-in installed figure, taxes included, on one call. Flexible financing available, no credit check.

How it gets installed

A professional installer connects the system at your main line. Most installs are straightforward utility room or garage jobs. If your home has a tougher setup, we tell you the adjusted figure before any work starts, never after.

Maintenance is simple

Keep two to three bags of salt in the brine tank and check it every few months. The softener has no filters to change; it self-cleans during regeneration. The RO filters get swapped about once a year.
