Water softener systems remove the “hard” elements, such as calcium and magnesium, from your home’s water. When minerals like these are present in your water, your home, your appliances, and most importantly, your family may suffer. Hard water can also damage your clothes, and leave your hair and skin feeling rough. Below, we list some of the benefits that are associated with installing a water softener system in your Austin home.
At Stan’s Heating, Air, Plumbing & Electrical, we proudly offer Nugen Pure Water Softeners, designed to improve the quality of water in your home significantly. Our water softener systems effectively remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium through a step-by-step ion exchange process that ensures your water is softer, cleaner, and more efficient for everyday use. Here’s how it works:
By incorporating an Austin water softener, you can protect your plumbing and appliances from scale buildup, enhance the efficiency of your soaps and detergents, and enjoy the luxury of soft, high-quality water throughout your home. Whether it’s for drinking, bathing, or washing, our water softener systems deliver the best in water quality, ensuring comfort and peace of mind for you and your family.
Austin is known for having some of the hardest and most contaminated water in the country, posing challenges for local residents. The city’s water supply contains 24 total contaminants, with 12 exceeding the Environmental Working Group (EWG) guidelines for safe levels. Additionally, Austin's water is classified as very hard, with a hardness level of 15 grains per gallon (anything above 3.5 grains per gallon is considered moderately hard). This hardness can cause scale buildup in pipes and appliances, reduce the effectiveness of soaps, and result in dry skin and hair.
While Austin’s water meets the federal health-based drinking water standards, many of these regulations are outdated, with some over 20 to 40 years old. With more than 1 million customers served in Austin, treating your home’s water is not just a luxury but a necessity. Investing in a high-quality water softener system can greatly improve your water quality, protect your home’s plumbing, and provide healthier, better-tasting water for your family.
When hard minerals are filtered out of your home’s water supply, your family will benefit from better-tasting water, improving the taste of ice, coffee, and homemade juices while eliminating the need to spend on expensive bottled water. In addition to tasting better, softened water will also allow your family to step out of the shower with smoother skin and softer, more manageable hair.
By eliminating the minerals in your home’s water, a water softener system can also eliminate the limescale deposits that hard water can leave behind in your pipes. Without deposits accumulating and restricting water flow in pipes, water-based appliances, such as laundry machines and dishwashers, can work more efficiently. This translates to a longer lifespan for your appliances and a reduction in the energy they consume.
Hard water can prevent soap and detergent from dissolving properly. With a water softener, you can eliminate soap build up and ensure your dishes and silverware are spot-free! Your laundry will also be cleaner, brighter, softer, and last longer than when using hard water. In addition to benefiting your kitchen and your laundry room, a water softener can also benefit your bathroom by reducing soap scum and residue on your sinks, tubs, and showers, as well as their fixtures.
By bringing benefits to nearly every room of your home, a water softener can also save you money! With healthier water, you can eliminate spending on bottled water while extending the life of your clothes and linens. You can also reduce the amount of soap and laundry detergent that’s needed by up to 50%. Additionally, your water-based appliances will last longer and run more efficiently, which means you can save money on maintenance and energy bills!

Hard water is water that has abnormally high mineral content. As underground water moves through deposits of minerals like limestone and gypsum, it collects small particles. Without a water softener, these particles can end up in your home’s water supply and make water feel slippery or slimy when showering. It can also make cleaning difficult, as soap and detergent may not fully dissolve in hard water.
If you believe your home has hard water, our team can install a modern water softening system. By systematically exchanging ions, a water softener can filter out unwanted minerals before they get into your water system and appliances.
If you want healthier water, longer-lasting pipes, and a longer lifespan for clothing and water-based appliances, you should consider water softener installation for your Austin home.
