Honest Water Co of El Paso
El Paso, TX · Buying guide

Comparing water softener companies in El Paso.

There are several good options in this city. We are not going to tell you we are the only one. What we will do is publish every number a buyer should be comparing, so you can hold anyone — including us — to the same seven questions.

The seven things worth comparing.

Our answers are on the left, in writing. On the right is what to ask any other company in town, in the same terms.

Price before anyone visits
Honest Water Co

Published. $650 to $3,350 depending on the system, complete and installed — and that already reflects the current sale.

Ask anyone else

Ask for the number over the phone, before booking an appointment.

What the components actually are
Honest Water Co

Hankscraft ceramic disc valve (Wisconsin). Enpress fiberglass tank (Ohio). ResinTech CG10 resin, 10% crosslinked (New Jersey). Jacobi coconut-shell carbon. Assembled in Fort Worth, Texas.

Ask anyone else

Ask which resin and which valve. Ask where it is assembled. A brand name on the sticker is not a component list.

Certifications, by number
Honest Water Co

NSF/ANSI 44, NSF/ANSI 42, NSF/ANSI 61. WQA Gold Seal on the resin.

Ask anyone else

Ask for standard numbers, not the word “certified.”

Warranty, part by part
Honest Water Co

Lifetime on the ceramic discs and the tanks. 5 years on the control valve, electronics and media. 1 year on the RO system and on installation labor.

Ask anyone else

Ask for it part by part. A single headline number usually covers the tank only.

Who does the install
Honest Water Co

Our own El Paso crew. About half a day, with a set arrival window.

Ask anyone else

Ask whether installation is subcontracted.

What it costs you after year one
Honest Water Co

$199 a year for the tank RO filter change, done by us. Tankless cartridges you swap by hand. Trip fees waived the first year, $99 after.

Ask anyone else

Ask the annual filter cost and the trip fee once year one is over.

How the system gets sized
Honest Water Co

By bathroom count. 48,000 grains up to three baths, 64,000 for four or more, 96,000 for large households and pools.

Ask anyone else

Ask what grain capacity you are being quoted, and why that number.

Questions people ask us about the competition.

Is Honest Water Co of El Paso an alternative to Garcia Water Care?

Yes, we are a local alternative for El Paso homeowners. We are a separate El Paso company that publishes its prices — $2,650 for the Standard whole-home softener with reverse osmosis, $2,950 for the XL, $3,350 for the Dual Tank, or $650 and $850 for reverse osmosis on its own, all complete and installed. Those are what you pay today, already reflecting our current sale. We will not quote another company's pricing for them, so the fair comparison is to get their number and put it next to ours line by line.

How does Honest Water Co compare to Good Water Guys or WaterTech in El Paso?

We do not have current pricing or terms for either company, and we are not going to guess at them. What we can tell you is exactly what we do: published prices, a named component list down to the resin and the valve, NSF/ANSI 44, 42 and 61 certification, a warranty broken out part by part, installation by our own crew, and a stated annual service cost. Ask any company in town for those same seven things and the comparison makes itself.

Why don't you publish a side-by-side price comparison?

Because we would have to publish someone else's prices, and we cannot verify what another company is quoting this month or what is bundled into it. Quoting a competitor's number wrong is worse than not quoting it. Ours are published here, and we will give you the current figure over the phone including any promotion or discount that applies to you.

What should I ask before I sign anything for a water softener?

Seven things: the total installed price before any visit, the grain capacity and why that size, which resin and which valve, the NSF/ANSI standard numbers, the warranty broken out by component rather than one headline figure, whether the crew is employed or subcontracted, and the annual cost of filters and service calls after the first year. Any company that answers all seven plainly is worth talking to.

Honest Water Co of El Paso is not affiliated with any other company named on this page. We make no claims about their pricing, products or terms — ask them directly and compare against ours above.
