Common water contaminants in Hill Country & Eagle Ford
Hardness Minerals
Iron
What it is – Iron can come in a couple different forms including dissolved and non-dissolved. Both of which can leave red/orange stains on your sinks, tubs, and toilets and can be extremely hard to remove. Iron can also cause bacteria to grow and let off an unpleasant smell.
Treatment – Our guaranteed water softener provides the best option for soft water on the market. It improves the water throughout your entire home while protecting your appliances and fixtures.
Chlorine
Chromium 6
A new study by the Environmental Working Group reports that local drinking water contains hexavalent chromium, a toxic metal that has been linked to cancer. While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency does not require the testing for the metal, the survey found that levels in our local water were pushing the levels proposed as a safety limit by authorities. This contaminant has been proven to cause cancer.

"My dad had a unit installed by Gaines about 20 years ago, and it still is very functional to this day. Just the other day Gaines soft water came over and helped me replace my cousins old unit, and they were very gracious and humble about it. I suggest this company very much and highly recommend you go with them. They are there for you, friendly, and know how to fix your problems."

"Bought a system about 2 years ago. The price was great, the service was wonderful, and I couldn't have been happier. Last week I had a problem with the system. Not only did I reach someone on a Saturday morning, but they helped me troubleshoot the problem and provided instructions on how to fix it. The softener is a machine with moving parts, and like all machines parts can break. The response of the company when that happens is what truly matters, and they were spot on!"

"My brother recommended this company to me. I have some very hard water and nobody has fixed the problems until Gaines Water. The owner listened to us and then offered us a system customized to meet our needs and which also was within our budget! It was also not a high-pressure sales call (many of the competitors were this way). Turnaround time from my first phone call to the company to the sales presentation and then the install was quick. Everyone was professional and friendly. And no more water problems! Thank you to everyone at Gaines who was involved here. Highly recommend Gaines Soft Water."
