Hard water is a common problem throughout San Antonio, TX, and the surrounding Hill Country, especially in areas with high mineral content in both city water and well water. At Gaines Soft Water, we specialize in effective, long-lasting hard water treatment solutions that protect your plumbing, appliances, and overall water quality.
Since 1989, we’ve provided residential, commercial, and industrial customers with custom water softening systems designed to remove calcium, magnesium, and other hardness minerals from the water supply. Our WQA-licensed experts and Texas Class 3 certified technicians offer professional installation, maintenance, and 24/7 repair services. We also work with all major brands, ensuring you’re covered no matter what system you have.
What Is Hard Water and Why Does It Matter?
Hard water contains high levels of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium. While not harmful to your health, it can create serious issues, including:
- Scale buildup in pipes, fixtures, and appliances
- Dry skin and dull hair after showering
- Soap scum and spotty dishes
- Reduced efficiency in water heaters and other systems
- Increased plumbing maintenance and repair costs
Our job is to help you eliminate these problems with a system built for your home or business.
Our Hard Water Treatment Services
We offer a full range of solutions to reduce hardness and improve your water’s quality:
Water Softener Installation
Our high-performance systems replace hardness minerals with sodium or potassium through ion exchange, delivering soft water at every tap.
Salt-Free Water Conditioning
For clients who prefer an alternative, we offer salt-free softeners that reduce scale without using salt or chemicals.
Whole-House Water Treatment
We provide complete systems that combine softening with filtration for a comprehensive solution — ideal for homes with additional concerns like chlorine or sediment.
Water Testing & Analysis
We start with a detailed in-home water test to measure hardness levels and determine the best system for your water source.
24/7 Repairs & All-Brand Support
We provide ongoing maintenance and emergency repairs for all major brands, including:
Rainsoft, Culligan, Rayne, DMS, Alamo, Lindsay, Sears, Aqua Master, General Electric (G.E.), Bruner, Hague, Star, Water Boss, and Montgomery Wards.
We’ll design the right system for your water, property size, and usage needs — all backed by decades of experience and local knowledge.
