The Pinery Water Softeners & Water Treatment

About The Pinery Water

The Pinery is served exclusively by the Pinery Water & Wastewater District, which draws entirely from the Dawson Aquifer — a deep formation of highly mineralized groundwater beneath Douglas County. Because The Pinery's supply is 100% groundwater with no surface water blending, hardness levels are consistently high year-round, averaging 10 GPG.

At this hardness level, calcium and magnesium deposits accumulate rapidly. The Pinery homeowners commonly report whitish scale on faucets within days of cleaning, cloudy glassware from the dishwasher, and accelerated wear on water-using appliances.

The Pinery's upscale homes make water treatment especially valuable — protecting high-end fixtures, steam showers, and premium appliances from the destructive effects of mineral scale.

Recommended Treatment for The Pinery

A 48,000 to 64,000 grain salt-based water softener is the right solution for most Pinery homes. The consistent high hardness of 10 GPG means a smaller system will regenerate too frequently, wasting salt and water.

Many Pinery homeowners also invest in a reverse osmosis drinking water system for the kitchen, which removes the remaining sodium added during softening along with any other dissolved solids, providing premium drinking water throughout the home.

For larger Pinery estates with multiple bathrooms, a dual-tank system ensures uninterrupted soft water and is sized correctly for the higher water demand.
