The Alamo Ranch area of San Antonio gets hard SAWS water off the Edwards Aquifer, and you can see the evidence on the fixtures. What you cannot see is the same mineral building up inside the water heater, the dishwasher and every valve in the house.
With hard SAWS water off the Edwards Aquifer across Alamo Ranch, hardness affects more than comfort. It drives up energy use as scale insulates heating elements, and it is the reason fixture cartridges here wear out faster than the manufacturer expects.
If you already have a softener that stopped working, repair usually beats replacement. Resin replacement, valve service and reprogramming cost a fraction of a new unit, and we check those first.
