Job Overview
- Location: San Marcos, TX
- Client Type: Residential homeowner and Radiant Care Club member
- Scope: Water softener and carbon filter installation with new drain line and dry well excavation
- Equipment Installed: Novo water softener system with carbon filtration tank and perforated drain pit
- Why It Mattered: The home’s water supply had heavy scaling and mineral content that was wearing down fixtures and appliances. Installing a complete softener system restored water quality and extended the life of the home’s plumbing.
What We Found
During inspection, our team identified significant scale buildup within the home’s plumbing and fixtures — a common issue for private well systems in the San Marcos area. The existing setup lacked filtration, causing residue and wear over time. To solve the issue long-term, we recommended a dedicated softening and carbon filtration system to protect both the well equipment and the home’s plumbing network.
The Solution
Our crew installed a new Novo water softener and carbon filter inside the well house, connecting it to the home’s main water supply. To safely manage system discharge, we also dug a dry well pit adjacent to the well house, laying perforated pipe surrounded by gravel for proper drainage and filtration.
The installation was pressure-tested and inspected to verify performance, ensuring the system ran efficiently and leak-free before backfilling and cleanup. The result — a fully integrated, eco-friendly softening solution designed for years of dependable operation.
