Universal City, Texas gets hard municipal water, 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.
decades-old cast-iron drains under slab foundations shapes what makes sense in Universal City. Households on well or Trinity Aquifer supply have different needs than those on municipal water, and sizing a system without testing first is guesswork.
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.
