Hard water is common across Central Texas. When those minerals are heated, they form scale that builds up inside your pipes, water heater, and appliances. It also leaves spots on fixtures, dulls your laundry, and dries out your skin and hair.

O&M’s whole-home water softener stops that buildup at the source. Before we recommend a system, we check your water hardness, household size, and plumbing so it’s sized right for your home.

What you get:

  • Up-flow regeneration that uses up to 75% less salt than down-flow systems
  • Patented ceramic discs that resist corrosion and wear, for longer life and less maintenance
  • 48,000-grain capacity, rated for up to 8 people at 20 gpg hardness
  • Lifetime warranty on the mineral tank, brine tank, and ceramic bypass valve*

Water Softener Installation

Hard water contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that can leave deposits on plumbing fixtures, appliances, and pipes. Installing a water softener helps reduce these minerals before they circulate throughout your home. O&M Plumbing provides professional water softener installation, helping you choose a system based on your home’s water hardness, household size, and daily water usage.

Our Water Softener Systems

Softener Series
A downflow water softener built on lifetime ceramic technology. It features premium cation resin, an intelligent metered electronic valve, and a 1″ ceramic hard water bypass valve. Multiple tank sizes are available, and the valves and tanks carry a lifetime warranty.

 

Whole House System
High-efficiency softening with lifetime ceramic technology. Upflow regeneration reduces salt usage by as much as 75% compared to downflow systems. It features premium cation resin, premium catalytic carbon for longer media life, an intelligent metered electronic valve, and a 1.25″ tank riser pipe for high flow rates. IAPMO R&T and NSF certified, with a lifetime warranty on valves and tanks.

 

Mixed Bed Softener Series
Hard water minerals and chlorine, solved in one system. Premium cation resin and carbon media share one tank, removing hardness and chlorine before water enters your home. This helps prevent dry hair and skin, faded laundry, and calcium buildup on fixtures. Lifetime warranty on valves and tanks.

 

Saltless Series
Stop lugging heavy salt bags. This system prevents limescale buildup on water-using appliances with patented TGP (Turbulent Galvanic Polarization) technology. It removes chlorine, chloramine, and VOCs, and it eliminates up to 96% of limescale deposits. Tanks have a 1 to 3 million gallon capacity, and it’s a green alternative to a traditional water softener.

 

Backwashing Saltless Series
Salt-free scale protection with patented TGP technology. It prevents limescale buildup on water-dependent appliances and removes chlorine, chloramine, and VOCs. Independent IAPMO testing showed TGP to be 76.3% effective at removing limescale deposits on plumbing fixtures, and in side-by-side testing it was 4x more effective than the leading scale reduction device.

2024 Feb: Son and daughter-in-law discovered a leak and contacted O&M for assistance. Andrew was sent to investigate and found a pipe blockage, which he promptly resolved and made sure the toilet and tubs were functioning again. O&M has consistently provided us with affordable, reliable, professional, and friendly service, making us loyal and satisfied customers. 2022 Dec: O&M came over to initially replace a toilet and discovered a pipe clog that we thought might be serious. They cleared it, set the new toilet and hauled the old one away at a reasonable cost all while being dependable, professional and friendly. We remain loyal and happy customers! 2022 June: We have been using O&M well over 10 years now. Most recently, they replaced the toilet flapper as well as repairing the toilet flange w/ new deep brass ring and re-set the toilet. Very happy with their professionalism and dependability! 2022: Honest, dependable, professional and friendly. We have used O&M Plumbing for over 10 years. Most recently, Ben came over to connect our new refrigerator to the waterline when Home Depot couldn't connect it. Very, very happy with his work, as always!! 2021: We have used O&M since 2011 and have been *very* happy each and every time We had a pipe burst in the garage this winter due to the extreme cold. Joseph came out and repaired two pipes and replaced the washer box. He was extremely pleasant, professional, and polite.

I had my water heater replaced today and had great service. Came and did bid at 10 and had work completed by 3. It wasn't an easy install for Andrew and Ben. Andrew even had to do major hunting for my water shut off (buried in my yard!). Also fixed my washer issue I had. They worked as a team and will call them the next plumbing issue I have.

Technician came on time and completely accessed the situation. His explanation was clear and he gave complete pricing. Upon my agreement with the plan, he set to work. Another plumber came to assist and in about 3 hours they were finished. I didn’t have anything to clean up because they took care of everything. I am completely satisfied with the job and glad I called O&M Plumbing. Will recommend your company for my friends.

Andrew Simons was very knowledgeable and explained the repair in detail. As a retired teacher had to decide by cost hopefully don’t regret it!
