DFW water is hard. Your pipes, fixtures, and water heater feel it first.

Spots on your dishes, soap that won’t lather, scale building up inside your water heater and faucets, skin and hair that feel different after a shower — that’s hard water doing its slow damage. It’s not dangerous, but it’s expensive over time, on your fixtures and your water bill both.

Texas Plumbing & Drain installs and services water softeners and whole-house filtration systems — including Halo 5 and FlowTech systems — across Aledo, Weatherford, Fort Worth, and the west DFW Metroplex.

WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO HERE

Water Softener Installation

A traditional salt-based softener swaps the calcium and magnesium in your water for sodium (or potassium, if that’s your preference), stopping scale buildup before it starts. We size the system to your household’s water usage and hardness level — not a one-size-fits-all unit.

Halo 5 Whole-Home Water Systems

The Halo 5 combines conditioning and filtration in one system — treating scale-causing minerals and filtering out chlorine, sediment, and other contaminants at the point where water enters your house, so every tap benefits. It’s a salt-free option, which means no bags of salt to haul and refill, and no brine discharge to worry about.

FlowTech Salt-Free Scale Prevention

FlowTech conditions your water to prevent scale buildup without removing the minerals or using salt — no electricity, no wastewater, low maintenance. For homeowners who want scale protection for their pipes and water heater without the upkeep of a traditional softener, this is the system we install.

Whole-House Water Filtration

Separate from scale/hardness treatment, filtration removes sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants from every tap in the house, improving taste and smell along with water quality.

Reverse Osmosis Systems

For drinking-water-grade purification at the kitchen tap (or whole-house, for larger setups), reverse osmosis removes dissolved solids that a standard filter can’t touch. This is the step up when “filtered” needs to mean genuinely purified.

Water Filter Installation & Replacement

Beyond full systems — under-sink filters, whole-house sediment pre-filters, and refrigerator line filters, installed correctly and swapped on the schedule that keeps them actually working instead of just sitting there clogged.

Water Treatment System Service & Maintenance

Salt-based softeners need salt (or potassium) refills and periodic resin bed checks. Halo 5 and FlowTech systems are lower-maintenance by design, but still benefit from periodic checks. Filtration and RO systems need filter changes on a schedule that depends on your water usage. We keep all of it running at the efficiency you paid for instead of quietly degrading in the background.

FAQ — STRAIGHT ANSWERS

What’s the actual difference between a water softener and a water filter?

A softener specifically targets hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) that cause scale buildup. A filter targets sediment, chlorine, taste, and odor. They solve different problems — a lot of DFW homes benefit from both addressed together, whether through a traditional softener plus filter, or a combined system like the Halo 5.

How do I know if I have hard water?

White or chalky buildup around faucets and showerheads, soap that won’t lather well, spots on dishes and glassware even fresh out of the dishwasher, and scale forming inside your water heater are all signs. Most of our service area sits on genuinely hard water, so if you haven’t treated it, you’re likely dealing with it.

What’s the difference between a traditional softener and a salt-free system like Halo 5 or FlowTech?

A traditional softener removes hardness minerals from your water using salt and a resin bed — it requires periodic salt refills and produces some brine discharge. Salt-free systems like Halo 5 and FlowTech condition the minerals so they don’t form scale, without removing them or using salt — no bags to haul, no brine, generally less maintenance. Which is the better fit depends on your water hardness level and personal preference.

Will a water softener make my water taste different?

Traditional sodium-based softeners add a small amount of sodium to your water — not enough to taste for most people, but if you’re sodium-sensitive or just prefer to avoid it, a salt-free system like Halo 5 or FlowTech (or an RO system at the drinking tap) solves that without adding sodium at all.

Is a water softener the same as reverse osmosis?

No. Softening and salt-free conditioning treat your whole house’s water supply for hardness. Reverse osmosis is a purification step, usually at one tap (or whole-house for larger installs), that removes dissolved solids and contaminants a softener or conditioner doesn’t touch. Many homes run both.

How often does a water softener or Halo 5/FlowTech system need maintenance?

Traditional softeners need salt refills on a schedule depending on household size and usage. Halo 5 and FlowTech are designed to need less — no salt, less routine attention — but we still recommend periodic checks to keep them performing the way they should.

Do I need a whole-house filtration system if I already have a softener or conditioner?

Yes — retrofit installation is standard, whether it’s a traditional softener, Halo 5, FlowTech, whole-house filtration, an RO system, or a combination.

Can you install these systems in a house that doesn’t already have one?

They’re not redundant — softening/conditioning handles hardness, filtration handles sediment, chlorine, taste, and odor. The Halo 5 actually combines both in one unit; a standalone softener or FlowTech system would pair with a separate filtration step if water taste and quality are also a concern.

Don't Just Take Our Word for It

See what a local homeowner had to say after calling Texas Plumbing & Drain.

I loved working with David Landis from Texas Plumbing and Drain! After getting no less than 3 other estimates for the work on my home, I got referred to David through a friend. I couldn’t be happier with the result. His crew just finished installing a reverse osmosis drinking water filter system under my kitchen sink with a water line run to the fridge (for ice). At the same time they also replaced a water heater in my garage which required code updates and a water softener had to be moved out of the way. They showed up on time, did an excellent job, and it was the right price! I am going to be sending more work their way shortly. Highly recommend.
