Should I just install a softener?

A softener helps a lot, and we will say so. Descaling still matters for fixtures downstream, and it is the cheaper first step.

Will this damage finishes?

We match the treatment to the finish and test in an inconspicuous spot. Unlacquered and living finishes get a gentler approach.

Which suburbs have the hardest water?

In our experience Cedar Park, Leander and northwest Austin ZIPs scale fastest, with Round Rock close behind.

That weak kitchen faucet is usually not a plumbing problem, it is calcium. We pull and soak aerators and showerheads, descale fixtures and glass, and leave you with the pressure the fixture was built to deliver.
