One common challenge clients face is choosing the right system, especially when shopping online. A key factor to watch for is the gallons per minute (GPM) rating. Many low-priced systems have a low GPM, sometimes as little as three gallons per minute, which can severely reduce water flow if multiple fixtures are running at once.

For example, an average shower uses between 1.5 and 2.5 gallons per minute, so running two showers simultaneously on a low-GPM system will cause noticeable pressure drops. We recommend systems that support nine or more gallons per minute to ensure sufficient water volume.

At Villas Plumbing & Air Conditioning, we use top-of-the-line, made-in-the-USA products like Nugen softeners, carbon filters, and Halo products. Our team, all born and raised in Central Texas, understands firsthand the damaging effects of hard water.

We provide expert guidance to help customers choose the right system for their needs and avoid undersized units that require frequent maintenance or early replacement.

We also avoid cheaper fittings that often cause leaks over time, ensuring reliable installations with quality components. Plus, our access to local suppliers and lifetime warranties means quick repairs when needed, without dealing with long shipping times or corporate bureaucracy.

Growing up here, we’ve seen hard water destroy dishwashers and appliances in just a few years. Choosing the right water treatment system can save you from those headaches and keep your home’s plumbing in great shape for years to come.
