Water Treatment Systems
in Austin, TX
Austin's water is some of the hardest in Texas. SolidStreams installs whole-home softeners, reverse osmosis, and multi-stage filtration systems that fix the problem at the source — not just at the tap.
Austin's Hard Water Is Hard on Everything in Your Home.
Hard water doesn't just show up as spots on your glasses. It quietly builds up in pipes, shortens appliance lifespans, wastes energy, and costs you more on soap and detergent every week. The damage is real — it just happens slowly.
- Water heaters lose up to 48% efficiency with heavy scale buildup
- Dishwashers and washing machines wear out 30–50% faster
- Soap and shampoo require 2–3x more to lather in hard water
- Scale deposits clog fixtures and reduce water pressure over time
- Dry skin and brittle hair are often a hard water problem, not a product problem
The Right System for Your Home and Your Water.
Not every home needs the same solution. We assess your water chemistry and household needs, then recommend what actually makes sense — not the most expensive option.
Whole-Home Water Softeners
Most Popular in AustinIon exchange softeners remove calcium and magnesium at the point of entry — meaning every faucet, shower, appliance, and pipe in your home gets treated water. The single most impactful upgrade for Austin homes.
- Eliminates scale on pipes, fixtures, and appliances
- Extends water heater and dishwasher life significantly
- Softer skin and hair, less soap usage
- Sized to your household's daily water usage
Reverse Osmosis Systems
Drinking WaterUnder-sink RO systems filter water down to the microscopic level — removing dissolved solids, chlorine, nitrates, and other contaminants. Installed at the kitchen sink for drinking and cooking water.
- Removes up to 99% of dissolved contaminants
- Cleaner taste and odor than tap or pitcher filters
- Eliminates need for bottled water
- Filter replacement service included
Multi-Stage Whole-Home Filtration

- Removes chlorine taste and odor whole-home
- Protects fixtures and appliances from sediment
- Often paired with a softener for complete coverage

From First Call to Clean Water.
Most installs are done in a single day. Here's what the process looks like from start to finish.
Assessment & Recommendation
We assess your water hardness, household size, and plumbing layout. Then we recommend the right system — softener, RO, filtration, or a combination — and give you a clear price before any work begins.
Professional Installation
We handle the full install — supply lines, bypass valves, drain connections, and system programming. Most whole-home softeners are installed in 2 to 4 hours. We leave the job site clean.
Walkthrough & Ongoing Support
We walk you through how the system works, when to add salt, and what to watch for. And since we're local, you have one number to call for service, maintenance, or questions.
Water Treatment Is Our Specialty, Not a Side Service.
Water treatment installs connect directly to your home's plumbing. Using a licensed plumber — RMP #46840 — ensures it's done to code, with proper bypass valves, correct sizing, and no shortcuts.
Austin's water chemistry changes seasonally. Highland Lakes sourcing, treated water hardness, chloramine levels — we understand what's in the water and what system actually addresses it.
We recommend what your home actually needs. You won't leave a consultation with a quote for equipment you don't need. The price we give is the price you pay.
We service and maintain the systems we install. Filter replacements, salt refills, annual checks — you have one local number to call, not an 800 number to a manufacturer's support line.
