San Antonio Water Softeners
San Antonio has “very hard” water. The amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in water determines its “hardness.” Water hardness varies throughout the United States, and in the San Antonio area where you get your water from an aquifer, you may notice that it is difficult to get a lather working when washing your hands or clothes. Industries in the area often have to purchase a water softener because hard water can damage equipment. Residential homes need water softeners because hard water can even shorten the life of fabrics and clothes. You’ll notice major differences by installing San Antonio water softeners.

Total hardness as calcium carbonate (GPG or grain per gallon) is considered very hard above 10 GPG. San Antonio’s average hardness is 15 to 22 GPG.
