Water softeners & filtration in Midland
Midland publishes its own total hardness at 400 to 600 parts per million - about 23 to 35 grains per gallon. That is the top of every hardness scale in the trade, several times over. It is why the inside of a Midland water heater looks the way it does, why glassware never comes out clear, and why soap will not rinse off properly. A whole-home softener is not a luxury purchase here.
Midland is supplied by City of Midland, drawing from Groundwater from the Ogallala and Edwards-Trinity Plateau aquifers, by way of the T-Bar, Clearwater and Paul Davis well fields.

What’s actually in Midland water
Midland homes are on City of Midland, which draws from Groundwater from the Ogallala and Edwards-Trinity Plateau aquifers, by way of the T-Bar, Clearwater and Paul Davis well fields. Like nearly all of West Texas and DFW, that water arrives hard — enough calcium and magnesium dissolved in it to leave deposits on everything it touches.
You see it as spots on glassware, a white crust around faucet aerators, film on the shower door, soap that won’t lather properly, and skin that feels tight after a shower. What you don’t see is the same mineral coating the inside of your water heater, where it insulates the element and makes the heater burn more energy for less hot water.

The only way to know your number
City-wide averages tell you very little about your particular house — the age of your plumbing, your water heater and where you sit on the distribution network all matter. We test at your kitchen sink, free, and show you the result while we’re standing there.

Questions
Midland water questions
Call us if yours isn’t here — a real person answers.
Where does Midland's water come from?
Midland is supplied by City of Midland, drawing from Groundwater from the Ogallala and Edwards-Trinity Plateau aquifers, by way of the T-Bar, Clearwater and Paul Davis well fields. That source is what determines how hard the water is and what else is in it — which is why we test at your sink rather than guessing from the city average.
Do I need a water softener in Midland?
Most Midland homes benefit from one, but "most" isn't "all" and we won't pretend otherwise. The honest answer comes from testing your water. If it comes back soft enough that a system wouldn't pay for itself, we'll tell you that.
How much does a water softener cost in Midland?
It depends on your water hardness, the size of your home and where the equipment can go — so we do not publish one figure we would then have to walk back. What we will say is that we sell the same class of equipment the national brands do for roughly an exact number for your house, and the free in-home test turns that into an exact number for your house before you decide anything.
How long does installation take in Midland?
A whole-home system is usually a half day. An under-sink reverse osmosis system is around two hours. We clean up before we leave, and the price you agreed is the price at the end.
