How do I know if my home needs water softening, filtration, or both?

If your home experiences scale buildup, cloudy residue on fixtures, dry skin or hair, or reduced appliance efficiency, water softening can help by removing hardness minerals. If you notice chlorine taste or odor, sediment, or unpleasant water taste, filtration is recommended. Many homes in Central Texas benefit from using both systems together for complete whole-home water treatment.

Why choose BRITA PRO® products?

BRITA PRO® whole-home systems are engineered for high efficiency, reliability, and improved water quality at every tap. As an Authorized Dealer, ME Plumbing provides professional installation, licensed service, and solutions customized for Central Texas water conditions.

Do water softeners and filtration systems increase my water usage?

Some water softeners use additional water during regeneration cycles, but modern systems are designed for efficiency. ME Plumbing installs metered regeneration systems when applicable and configures all equipment to minimize unnecessary water usage.

Will a water treatment system change my water pressure?

When properly sized and professionally installed, whole-home water softening and filtration systems should maintain consistent water pressure throughout the home. ME Plumbing evaluates your household’s needs to ensure optimal performance and flow.

How often do I need to replace filters or media in these systems?

Replacement schedules vary based on system type, water quality, and household usage. ME Plumbing offers routine maintenance services, including inspections and filter or media replacement when needed, to keep your water treatment system performing at its best.

How do I know if my home needs water softening, filtration, or both?

Most homeowners can benefit from both systems, but a simple water test can determine exactly what you need. If you notice spots on dishes or buildup on fixtures, you likely need a softener. If your water tastes or smells off, or you’re concerned about contaminants, filtration may be the better choice. ME Plumbing can test your water and recommend the right setup for your home.

Why choose BRITA PRO® products?

BRITA PRO® systems offer certified quality, efficient operation, smart features, and customizable solutions designed for whole-home performance.

Do water softeners and filtration systems increase my water usage?

A water softener may use a small amount of water during its regeneration cycle, but the increase is minimal and often offset by the improved efficiency of your appliances. Whole-home filtration systems generally do not increase water usage at all.

Will a water treatment system change my water pressure?

When installed properly, water softeners and filtration systems should not reduce your water pressure. We size each system correctly for your home to ensure strong, consistent flow throughout all fixtures.

How often do I need to replace filters or media in these systems?

The replacement schedule depends on the type of system and your water quality. Most filtration systems require new filters every 6–12 months, while softener resin typically lasts several years. During maintenance visits, ME Plumbing checks all components to keep your system running at peak performance.

Whole-Home Water Softening & Filtration Solutions in Seguin, TX

Hard water and poor water quality can create a long list of headaches for homeowners. From scale buildup and inefficient appliances to unpleasant tastes, odors, and residue, these issues are common throughout Seguin, San Marcos, Luling, and New Braunfels. With naturally mineral-heavy water in many Central Texas communities, it’s no surprise that residents experience higher utility costs, frequent appliance problems, and irritation to skin and hair. Addressing these concerns is an important step toward protecting your plumbing system and improving daily life at home.

ME Plumbing provides premium whole-home water treatment solutions featuring BRITA PRO® products, engineered to improve water quality at every tap. As an Authorized Dealer of BRITA PRO® Products, ME Plumbing delivers expert installation, licensed service, and customized solutions designed specifically for Central Texas water conditions.

What’s the Difference Between Water Softening and Water Filtration?

Water softening and water filtration both improve your home’s water quality, but they solve different problems. A water softener targets hard minerals like calcium and magnesium that cause scale buildup, appliance wear, and cloudy residue on dishes and fixtures. Softening helps protect your plumbing system, extends the lifespan of appliances, and leaves your water gentler on skin, hair, and clothing.

A water filtration system, on the other hand, removes impurities such as sediment, chlorine, chemicals, and even certain contaminants that affect taste, odor, and overall safety. Filtration improves the purity of your drinking water and ensures cleaner water throughout your home.

Water Softening (Hard Water Removal)

A BRITA PRO® water softener removes hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium through ion exchange, helping to:

Reduce scale buildup
Extend the lifespan of appliances
Improve water heater efficiency
Minimize spots on dishes and fixtures
Leave skin and hair feeling smoother

Water Filtration (Impurity, Taste & Odor Removal)

A BRITA PRO® whole-home filtration system targets impurities such as:

Sediment
Chlorine
Chemical contaminants
Bad tastes and odors

Filtration improves your water quality, clarity, and comfort throughout your entire home.

Together, softening and filtration create a complete water treatment solution that delivers cleaner, safer, and more comfortable water for everyday use.

our customers go nuts for ME Plumbing

I recently had M.E. Plumbing do work in my kitchen and bathrooms. I received an estimate/quote during my scheduled appointment and they were able to start work that same day (!!). Jacob H., Thomas & Matt were super nice and made sure to address any of my questions or concerns. Communication via phone call, texts and emails were prompt and concise. Plumbing issues are never fun to deal with especially with older houses and fixtures, but I feel like M.E. Plumbing helped make the experience as painless as possible. Definitely recommend!

We live on the Lake Dunlop area and had a complete back up of our septic line. M and E scheduled us for service with two hours and gave us an immediate estimate with several options. Their equipment included camera views as well as ample line clearing machinery. Pricing was comparable.

Photos are from BEFORE. I think I have met every single employee with ME at this point, and everyone is friendly, professional, personable, and knowledgeable. I had lots of work done this past year, including a total sewer line replacement in a 90+ yr old home. Mike, Martin, Matthew, Jacob2 and Andrew all looked at my options, came up with a plan, and were able to save my driveway from excavation by dropping my line into my basement, then drilled thru 8 inch concrete wall into my crawl space, connect to 2nd bathroom , and then out the front to the street. They carefully dug by hand around my 200 year old live oak trees and did not damage any roots. Matthew and Jacob 1 installed back connecting sewer line last summer. Matthew also replaced a rotted out toilet flange. Andrew fixed a blockage in back half of house. Then Jacob2 And Jacob3 finally installed my main sewer line this week, with Martin and Mike stopping by to assist, keep me updated on progress, etc. A lot could have gone wrong bc of basement logistics, age of home, etc. And even with concrete drilling taking 10x the time it normally takes bc of its old age, Jacob2 was calm and reassuring to me when I started to panic. Everyone, from Kelly in the office to owner Mike, answered my questions and concerns throughout this massive project. Cannot recommend them enough. I even got a bundled discount for everything done. If you want your plumbing done right, done professionally, and have an entire TEAM working together to make it the best possible experience: ME Plumbing is the place to go, every single time. Photos below are from BEFORE. You can see the original cast iron pipes they had to remove. Now its all brand new PVC!!

People were very nice. Called Thursday afternoon and they came out Friday morning on time as promised. They charged me about double price but i didn't have time to schedule someone else to come out there for a quote. I needed hot water for the family. They charged 3175 for 50 gal electric water heater installed. (This price is with a discount). Service was great, they did great job installing, very quick on install, clean finish, good product. Could have save probably 1500 - 2000 going elsewhere, but also could have been another day or two without hot water. With it being freezing temps during this time, a baby, and young ones. Cold shower/bath was not a reasonable option.

Johnny Sanchez quickly found the issue and gave multiple options to solve the issue, easy to follow explanation to the problem, and worked to solve the problem without making the repair cost more. I will be calling ME plumbing for my next repair.

A trip to the garage during the night revealed water leaking from the hot water heater 24 hours before the rain and ice was expected. Although booked solid, the guys made time to make needed repairs and allow us to dry out the garage before freezing temperatures set in. Matthew, Martin, and Jacob saved the day and were so pleasant doing so. ME Plumbing will always be our go-to plumber, and we recommend them highly. (We have 2 water heaters and replaced parts on both of them as well as draining/cleaning out both of them.)
