Dallas tap water is famously hard, averaging 140–180 ppm of dissolved minerals. The result is scale-clogged pipes, spotty dishes, and appliances that fail years early. A correctly sized, professionally installed water softener extends plumbing life and slashes maintenance costs. CountBricks pairs local job-site expertise with AI-powered estimating to make water softener installation Dallas homeowners can trust faster, clearer, and more affordable.
Real-time AI Estimates – Our voice-guided mobile app captures square footage, pipe runs, and incoming water hardness in minutes. Instant pricing pulls from up-to-the-minute Dallas material costs and current labor rates.
One-Visit Installations – Because CountBricks pre-plans every fitting and bypass loop, we arrive with the correct valve kit, media tank, and brine line length. Most projects finish in a single afternoon.
Transparent Invoices – Each line item—from ¾-inch PEX elbows to disposal fees—exports directly into a branded PDF you can sign on-site. No surprises, no fuzzy math.
The most common mistake we see is a unit that regenerates too often, wasting salt and water. CountBricks calculates softened gallons per grain capacity based on:
• Household occupancy and fixture count
• Actual hardness level from an on-site test strip
• Daily peak demand during laundry or irrigation cycles
Our algorithm then recommends a 32K, 48K, or 64K grain system with resin cross-link percentages optimized for North Texas chemistry.
1. Voice walkthrough with the homeowner establishes location, drain proximity, and electrical service.
2. CountBricks.com/services generates a QR-coded estimate and tentative schedule.
3. On installation day, our licensed plumber isolates the supply line and sweat-fits a corrosion-resistant bypass.
4. The resin tank is leveled, charged, and programmed for Dallas municipal water parameters.
5. We backflush, test water softness at multiple taps, and run a tutorial on salt loading via the CountBricks homeowner app.
• 48K grain two-tank system: $1,050 materials
• Labor (2 techs, 4 hours): $640
• Permit & haul away: $85
Typical total: $1,775 before any CountBricks loyalty discounts. Prices auto-update every 24 hours in our estimate engine for unmatched accuracy.
• Reverse-osmosis faucet for cooking water
• Wi-Fi module that syncs salt level alerts to your phone
• Annual service contract stored in CountBricks.com/portfolio for proof of maintenance
A big-box softener might look $400 cheaper, but hidden costs add up:
• Copper to PEX transition fittings
• Specialized drain air gap required by Dallas plumbing code
• Disposal of shipping pallets and brine water under local environmental rules
CountBricks rolls these complexities into one fixed price and assumes all liability, saving headaches and return trips.
• Use evaporated salt pellets; rock salt clogs injectors
• Clean the brine tank once a year with 2 cups of vinegar
• Schedule a resin rebedding every 8–10 years—CountBricks reminders hit your inbox automatically
CountBricks partners with local utilities offering up to $150 rebates for high-efficiency metered valves. Our app flags your eligibility during the estimate so paperwork is ready at checkout.
