What softening actually changes in a Central Texas home
Hardness across the Austin metro commonly measures between 10 and 25 grains per gallon. Every one of those grains ends up on your fixtures, inside your water heater and woven into your laundry.
Ion exchange trades the calcium and magnesium for sodium so nothing is left behind to scale. Soap lathers, glassware clears and the water heater stops burning gas through a layer of rock.
- No more scale ring in the kettle, shower door or dishwasher
- Less soap, shampoo and detergent for the same result
- Longer life on water heaters, ice makers and coffee equipment
- Softer laundry without extra fabric softener
Sized to your water, not to a catalog
We test hardness at your tap and program the valve to the number we measure, so the system regenerates on actual usage instead of a generic schedule. Undersized systems run out mid week and oversized ones waste salt.
If your water also smells of chlorine or chloramine, the XL system pairs softening with catalytic carbon in the same install and is usually the better buy.

Will a softener alone remove chlorine taste?
No. Softening handles hardness. Chlorine and chloramine need catalytic carbon, which is what the CleanLine Water Co. XL system adds in the same footprint.
How much salt will I use in Austin?
Most Austin metro families of four use one to two bags a month depending on measured hardness and water usage.
Can you install if my house has no softener loop?
Yes. Our licensed plumber can add a loop at the main line. We confirm the run and price it during the free in home quote.
