This is the system most DFW homes need. Dallas-Fort Worth tap water runs 8-12+ grains of hardness and is treated with chloramine -- harder to remove than chlorine and the main source of that flat taste. This system handles both at once. It installs off your main water line so every faucet, shower, and appliance in the house gets better water.
A single tank holds four media layers, with the control valve on top and the brine (salt) tank beside it:
About $2,999 installed, taxes included, for a standard city-water home. A comparable system from the brand-name guys runs $5,000 to $12,000. Financing available at ~$265/mo with no credit check.
A professional installer connects the system at your main line, We schedule at your convenience. Most DFW installs are straightforward utility room or garage jobs. If your home has a tougher setup, we tell you the adjusted price before any work starts, never after.
Keep two to three bags of salt in the brine tank and check it every few months. Salt is about $7 a bag. The softener has no filters to change; it self-cleans during regeneration. The RO filters get swapped about once a year.
