What comes out of the tap in Stone Oak and Timberwood Park
SAWS reports San Antonio water at 15–20 grains per gallon. Stone Oak homes are almost universally pre-plumbed and land in the published range. Timberwood Park wells frequently show iron staining and need a filter ahead of the water softener.
The north side is also where the Vista Ridge supply arrives first. About a fifth of SAWS water now comes 142 miles by pipeline from the Simsboro and Carrizo aquifers in Burleson County, treated at the Agua Vista plant on the north side to match Edwards aquifer quality — SAWS's description, not ours. For a water softener the practical point is that it is still hard water and still chlorinated, so nothing about the sizing changes: LPWS32K or LPWS48K by household, with a whole house catalytic carbon filter alongside if you want the chlorine and chloramine out at every tap.
Cross into Timberwood Park, a mile north, and many lots are on a private Trinity aquifer well. Those show the iron staining and sometimes the sulfur smell the Hill Country wells are known for, and they need an iron filter ahead of the softener. Two neighborhoods, two answers, one phone call — and a photo of the water bill or the wellhead tells us which conversation we are having.
Timberwood Park is also where we get the most calls about water softeners that are already in: a unit the builder or a previous owner put in on cheap resin, one somebody has been told to replace, a valve that quit. Most of those are a repair, not a replacement. Any brand, $100 to $1,000, and we say when it is not worth fixing.
The 15–20 grains per gallon figure and the Vista Ridge description are SAWS’s, not measurements we took. We test your tap free before we size anything.

What that means for the install
A Stone Oak install is the textbook pre-plumbed job: loop in the garage, about an hour, LPWS32K or LPWS48K sized to the household, inside the published $2,100–$4,000 range. Add a whole house catalytic carbon filter alongside it if you want the chlorine out at every tap; it goes in the same closet. Same unit and warranty as everywhere: 10% cross-link resin on a Clack valve, five years on the valve, ten on the tank, one year of free service checkup.
A Timberwood Park well home gets the free test first. Iron above the staining threshold means the iron filter goes in ahead of the LPWS48K, and sulfur means the media is chosen for that. Most well jobs run $2,500–$4,500. If the house already has a softener that has stopped keeping up, a photo of the control head and the brand label is usually enough to quote the repair visit.
Published range $2,100–$4,000 pre-plumbed, softener only. Higher only for code work, distance, or special circumstances.
No trip charge.
No trip charge. Stone Oak and Timberwood Park are home turf, on the 281 run with Bulverde and Spring Branch. Mon–Sat 7am–5pm, quoted over the phone first, scheduled on the call.
Water softener questions we get from Stone Oak and Timberwood Park
Do you repair water softeners in Timberwood Park?
Yes, any brand, $100 to $1,000 depending on what is wrong. Text a photo of the control head and the brand label and we can usually quote the visit from that. If it is not worth fixing we say so before charging anything.
Is Timberwood Park on SAWS or on wells?
A mix. Many lots are on private Trinity wells, some streets are on SAWS. A SAWS bill means city water; a wellhead and pressure tank mean a well, and the free test for iron comes first.
Does Vista Ridge water change which softener I need?
No. SAWS treats it to match Edwards aquifer water, so it is still hard and still chlorinated. Size to the household: LPWS32K for 1–3 people, LPWS48K for 4+ people or 3+ baths.
Do you install water filtration in Timberwood Park and Stone Oak?
Yes. On SAWS homes that is the whole house catalytic carbon filter for chlorine and chloramine, installed beside the softener. On wells it is iron or sulfur media matched to the free test.
