The Stone Oak area of San Antonio gets very hard 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 very hard water off the Edwards Aquifer across Stone Oak, 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.
Salt-based and salt-free systems solve different problems. Salt-free conditioners reduce scale adhesion but do not remove hardness; we explain the difference plainly so you are not disappointed by what you bought.
